Reader has questions for Sen. Cochran

Published 10:00 am Thursday, May 22, 2014

The hatchet job on Chris McDaniel published in the Post yesterday as a reprint from the Greenwood Commonwealth is entitled “Questions for Chris McDaniel.” I have some questions for the Cochran campaign. Why did the Cochran campaign sit on this story for three weeks in order to use the Senator’s bedridden wife for crass political advantage? Why did they pretend to cancel campaign events and feign outrage at the “discovery” of the video when by public record they knew the video existed for three weeks prior? And, given the gravity of Mrs. Cochran’s illness why did Senator Cochran choose to remain in Washington living (renting) under the same roof of one of his female assistants instead of coming home to care for his wife?
