Rep. Todd Akin (R-MO) was scheduled to appear on KMOX radio in Kansas City Monday morning, his first interview since his “legitimate rape” comments threw the Missouri Senate race in disarray. He missed his scheduled appearance at 9:20 local time after his campaign called the station and said his schedule “was totally blown out,” according to a KMOX producer.
The campaign told the show that “because of what happened his schedule had totally changed,” producer Peggy Cohill told TPM. She said the campaign told the show Akin is “on a plane right now” and was “very evasive” about where he’s going and what he’s doing.
