OH-2: Redfern Slaps Krikorian Down

Wow, just wow.

Mr. David Krikorian

Dear David,

I am writing to express my disappointment in the destructive language you have reportedly used in recent days. As you know, I was contacted by the Chairmen of the Clermont and Hamilton County Democratic Parties. I echo their firm belief that such behavior is not welcome and does not reflect our Party’s philosophy.

America and Ohio have come too far over the years to allow your comments about your opponent to go unchallenged. The Democratic Party has been at the forefront of this progress, and we are a Party that proudly values diversity and inclusiveness. Your words fall short of these ideals.

Moreover, your comments about public sector unions ignore the tremendous contributions that unions have made to the countless Ohio families they represent.

Ohioans and residents of the 2nd Congressional District are already incredibly disappointed by Congresswoman Jean Schmidt’s divisive rhetoric. They don’t need similar rhetoric from a Democratic candidate who hopes to replace her.

Sincerely,

Chris Redfern
Chairman
Ohio Democratic Party

I also have a similar letter signed by the chairs of the Hamilton and Clermont Democratic Parties. Even Jean Schmidt has written a letter condemning Krikorian’s alleged comments about Yalamanchili’s name.

Update: Plunderbund has the letter online here.

If anyone has audio or video of these remarks, please send them my way. As always, anonymity guaranteed (as long as the information is given in good faith i.e. not purposely false) or your money back.
