I apologize if this is already being discussed on FR threads, but I browsed and didn’t see it jump out at me. This is about Jeff Roe, from 2010:
Quote: “””An e-mail sent to news media outlets and a âtweetâ issued by a fake Twitter account announced that Eckersley had suspended his campaign due to personal reasons.
Eckersley blames his opponent, Republican Billy Long, for sending out the hoax days before the election.
âYou know this is dirty politics. This is Jeff Roe-style management. “””
An old Jeff Roe trick....most recently used by Ted Cruz. Mr. Cruz probably doesn’t realize who he has working for him - or doesn’t care.
I guess this is some old campaign trick I wasn’t aware of. Very nice. Thanks for posting it to me.
