Rachel Maddow has taken out a full-page ad in The Boston Globe announcing … that she is NOT running for Senate in Massachusetts.
Sen. Scott Brown (R-MA) sent out a memo to supporters claiming that Maddow is considering a run for Senate, and is now trying to raise money off of the rumors. On her show the other day, Maddow denied it.
Today, she ran a full-page ad further denying Brown’s claims, and attempting to dispel the rumors among her fellow Massachusetts residents.
The ad said:
Senator Brown never even tried to find out if it was true, before using the made-up threat of me running against him, to try to score donors into giving him more money. He sent the letter around the country, to the out-of-state conservative activists who provided so much of the funding for his successful senate campaign.
She continued: “It’s a standard now for conservatives to invent scary fake threats to run against.”
“Senator Scott Brown’s only been in DC seven weeks, but he already seems to be fitting right in with how conservatives operate there,” Maddow wrote.
