NRCC Launches Robocalls Against Walt Minnick

May 29, 2009

The following information was released by the Idaho Republican Party:

The NRCC is announcing a new robocall in its “Accountability Offensive” aimed at holding Rep. Walt Minnick (D-ID) accountable for blocking an investigation into Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s audacious claim that the CIA “misleads [her] all the time.”

“Walt Minnick has once again shown he’d rather protect his Speaker than uncover the truth,” said NRCC Communications Director Ken Spain. “For Pelosi to insinuate that the CIA lied to her is bad enough, but for Minnick to then block an investigation into her claims is even worse.”
