Senator Elizabeth Warren endorsed Jason Kander this morning. That’s not terribly surprising in itself, considering Kander has repeatedly described himself as a progressive liberal – at least he did before he decided to polish up his image in order to run for office.
What is surprising is that Kander, who has been exceedingly calculating in fleeing from his past statements, is touting the endorsement from a socialist-supporting left-wing icon who was deemed too toxic for the campaign trail. Feel free to use this quote if covering the endorsement:
“Jason Kander is a liberal Democrat who wanted to fight terrorism with the Peace Corps and sided with Obama’s plan to close Guantanamo and bring terrorists to American soil. He deserves the support of his party’s most radical leftwing elements – he’s certainly done everything he can to earn it. We certainly hope Kander continues to broadcast these endorsements far and wide. It will save us the trouble of having to do it for him.” – Greg Blair, NRSC spokesman
