Democratic Senate candidate Rodney Glassman certainly isn’t getting off to a good start in his bid to unseat Senator John McCain.
Last week New Times reported that several of Glassman’s staffers had quit because they were unhappy with how the candidate treated people working on the campaign. And today one of Glassman’s former colleagues on the Tucson City Council went on the Jon Justice radio show to discuss Rodney’s maturity level, or lack there of.
Check out the audio of Tucson City Councilman Steve Kozachik blasting Glassman after the jump.
To be fair, Kozachik is a Republican and, as you can hear in the clip, is no fan of Glassman. Even so, ouch!
As brutal as Kozachik’s attack may seem, it echoes a lot of reports about Glassman, including our own.
From Feathered Bastard:
But several confidential sources inform me that Glassman’s staffers
left because they were not happy with the behavior of their candidate.These sources relayed a litany of complaints about the Glassman
campaign, from Glassman berating staffers and volunteers in public, even
yelling at them, to Glassman’s having his brother Jeremy play a major
role in the campaign (doing little or nothing, they say), and the fact
that Glassman and his minions gave Democrats reason to believe he would
sink millions into his bid for Senate.Sources also claim staffers
were upset by a homophobic remark the former Tucson city councilman and
onetime registered Republican reportedly made about a gay city
councilwoman, saying that, “The toughest thing for me to do will be to
sit next to an openly gay councilmember.”
The “adolescent” Glassman now faces a 73-year-old man, he describes as “cranky,” in the general election. Should be fun to watch, to say the least.
