I supported this guy at one time. What a despicable bum.
It was more a conversation between friends than any hard-hitting interview, and Brown wasn't mounting any great defense of Cochran. He just pointed out that Howie, and a lot of other Bay State Republicans have registered as "unenrolled" and voted in Democrat primaries when there wasn't a real race on the Republican side, so Howie might not want to come down hard on Cochran. That's a valid point in a conversation between friends.
