McCAIN CAMPAIGN STATEMENT ON HAYWORTH AND NATIONAL GRANTS CONFERENCES
PHOENIX, AZ -- U.S. Senator John McCain’s re-election campaign today released the following statement by McCain 2010 Communications Director Brian Rogers on Congressman J.D. Hayworth’s statement this afternoon on his National Grants Conferences infomercial:
“The same day that National Grants Conferences was widely reported to be a scam and a fraud, Congressman Hayworth said his appearance in the infomercial was ‘nothing I’m ashamed of,’ and his spokesman told National Review that Hayworth had ‘no regrets’ about hawking ‘free government money’ for a shady company. Now, after four days of withering criticism, Congressman Hayworth has made a political calculation and claims he’s suddenly sorry. But it’s too little, too late -- especially for the people who this company ripped off with Congressman Hayworth’s help.”
“The fact that Congressman Hayworth would hawk ‘hundreds of billions’ in ‘free money’ in a late-night infomercial reveals a disturbing lack of judgment and principle, and his purely political response to a serious situation isn’t fooling anyone. This is a far cry from just four days ago, when Congressman Hayworth blamed the victims of this scam, coldly stating, ‘buyer beware.’
We couldn’t agree more. When it comes to J.D. Hayworth, voters beware.” -- McCain 2010 Communications Director Brian Rogers
