Creigh Deeds’ campaign flags a Washington Post story showing his rival Bob McDonnell (R-VA) took in $40,000 from Pat Robertson, his son and daughter-in-law at the last minute.
The story shows the campaign took in $25,000 from Robertson, who McDonnell has said he has only spoken to a few times this year.
Deeds (D-VA) has made an issue of McDonnell’s ties to the religious right and suggested in a statement that the Republican is trying to hide an “out-of-the-mainstream social agenda.”
Spokesman Jared Leopold emailed reporters:
“Bob McDonnell’s true agenda has been revealed. Pat Robertson’s chosen candidate has come back home. If Virginians want a governor beholden to Pat Robertson, Bob McDonnell is their man. But if they want a jobs governor, the choice is clearly Creigh Deeds.”
