Christine O’Donnell Claims To Be A Victim Of The Media’s “Character Assassination”
Christine O’Donnell‘s pledge to avoid national media attention continues to be broken, oftentimes against her will. Rachel Maddow is publicly and unsuccessfully stalking her, while David Axelrod and David Letterman are joking about her magical abilities. And last night CNN gained footage of the aspiring senator speaking at a “tightly controlled” Republican forum in Delaware, where she ignored the news cameras and told her audience that she’s a victim of “character assassination.”
O’Donnell’s recent ‘I’m not a witch’ campaign ad has done little to protect her from mockery, and, if anything, has inspired even more of it. Trailing in polls behind her Democratic opponent Chris Coons, the beleagured Republican complained about her treatment in the media, saying:
I’ve put my name on the line and I’ve taken a lot of hits, a lot of slander, a lot of character assassination.
The night began with an uninformed O’Donnell mistaking the format of the forum and ended with the Republican candidate escaping “out the back door.” But CNN was able to catch her in a moving vehicle, where she promised she’ll appear on the network for an interview…one day.
