DUFFY MANAGER: “DPW NEEDS TO APOLOGIZE; TATE SHOULD RESIGN”

Why is the DPW Using Latino Terms to Smear Duffy? Racial Overtones in “Majordomo” and “Rumba” insults

[Ashland, Wis.] In response to the baseless claims of racism thrown at Ashland County District Attorney Sean Duffy, Duffy for Congress campaign manager, Matt Seaholm, said the Democrat Party of Wisconsin (DPW) owes the Republican congressional candidate and his family an apology.

Today, the DPW and its Chairman Mike Tate accused Duffy, who is married to Rachel Campos-Duffy, a Mexican-American, of being a white supremacist.  Seaholm responded:

“Sean Duffy is proudly married to a Mexican-American and together they have six wonderful children.   The DPW crossed the line by blatantly playing the race card and insulting the Latino community.  The Democrats owe the Duffy family an apology and Mr. Tate should resign immediately.

“Sean believes the views of John Eidsmoe are abhorrent.  Sean is not scheduled to speak at a Wausau Tea Party event and he had no more knowledge of the speakers than Mr. Tate did.

“But today the DPW continued to play the disgusting race card with thinly veiled insults using Latin terms to smear the Duffys such as “majordomo” and suggesting the 4-time elected prosecutor pretends to “rumba”.
 
 “It’s no mistake the DPW is using these Latino terms to smear Sean and his spouse’s Latino heritage.  Dave Obey should publicly call on the Democrat Party of Wisconsin to retract their accusations.  What the DPW is doing is truly disgusting and shameful.”
