Frank Palombo’s congressional campaign takes exception with Dome’s recent characterization of his criticism of Rep. Walter Jones’ connection to a task force that recommended big cuts in military spending. Dome had to laugh that Palombo was tying Jones to liberal financier George Soros, who had connections to many of the task force members.
“Frank Palombo has never claimed George Soros and Congressman Walter Jones are friends,” campaign operations manager Ingrid Johansen said today. “We are simply pointing out the facts.”
The task force recommendations were not acted on, and Jones said he didn’t support its findings. “Congressman Jones’ attempts now to disassociate himself from the Sustainable Defense Task Force are too little too late,” Johansen said in an email.
Still, does that connect the Republican congressman with the liberal Soros? The voters will decide, she said.
