| Followup: College Republican harassment of teenage Dem story
by Arlen Parsa
It’s been 24 hours. Brief update on the College Republicans harassing the teenage Democrat at the Republican campaign event story.
The Michael Bouchard campaign has apparently denied my request for comment, it’s been 24 hours and I haven’t heard back from them. After speaking to an investigative journalist about the story (and after he read the story itself), he said it wasn’t surprising I didn’t hear back from them. Possibly because I emailed them rather than calling, possibly because I’m “just a blogger,” and possibly because of the story itself. Or possibly a combination of the three.
The YouTube user “RightWingSolder” (operated by one of the Michigan College Republicans) did not reply to a message either. I have subscribed to the user however, and will be checking on future videos they post.
I think this pretty much puts the story to bed (sadly), but it was fun while it lasted, and I think I’ll try to do more stuff like this in the future. So stay tuned.
