Ayotte Visit Prompts Party Bickering

Print More

Vermont Democratic and Republican leaders are in a war of words over New Hampshire Republican Senator Kelly Ayotte’s visit to the state today for a party fundraiser.

The Vermont Republican Party announced Ayotte’s visit to the Woodstock Inn, calling her "a dynamic senator with a great message."

Democrats responded by circulating a letter calling Ayotte "extreme anti-choice," saying she’s against same-sex marriage, legalized abortions and funding for Planned Parenthood.

Vermont Republican Chairman Jack Lindley says he takes offense at those remarks. He says his party made no such comments when President Obama visited Vermont in March.
