Linda McMahon Expected To Lose Senate Race & Criticised Over Sandy
The New York Times is predicting that former WWE CEO Linda McMahon will lose her US Senate race in Connecticut to Democrat Chris Murphy.
Speaking of Linda McMahon, NBC anchor Brian Williams called her out for not suspending campaign advertising in the wake of Hurricane Sandy (video below).
Williams notes that several politicians have suspended their campaigns but Linda is still bombarding the airwaves with negative attack ads.
“In this part of the country, those who do have TV are seeing attack ads from a woman named Linda McMahon who is running for Senate up in Connecticut airing like nothing had changed juxtaposed against the damage,” Williams said. “It’s just a very strange time.”
It’s worth noting that Linda did cancel campaign events on Monday and Tuesday, and the Hartford Courant reports that both Linda and her opponent Chris Murphy are still running TV ads.
