Will Portman Ever Learn?

Yet more people are coming forward to tell Robert Portman that you can’t condemn something and still raise money for it.

The Cleveland Jewish News ran a story today originally titled “State reps urge Portman to sever ties over "Nazi" past” but this was apparently too offensive to those who still support calling legislators “Nazis”. It’s now titled “State reps urge Portman to sever ties over group's "Nazi" posting”.

Any hope the Portman campaign had about this issue being forgotten should be buried along with their integrity, because this isn’t over.

Once again, COAST has repeatedly refused my requests for them to identify the names of the people with access to their Twitter account, and haven’t directly retracted or apologized for any of their outrageous comments.

Portman knew all this and had a choice to make. And now he has to live with the consequences of his actions.
