Bill Nelson has reached a new level of tone deaf. His campaign sent out a fundraising email yesterday about Hurricane Irma, a storm that devastated much of the Senator’s own state.
Instead of attempting to claim responsibility for airlines capping ticket prices during Irma, which was already happening before the Senator took notice, Bill Nelson should be directing supporters to donate to hurricane relief, not to his own war chest.
“Bill Nelson is spending time blasting out fundraising emails while countless Floridians are recovering from Hurricane Irma’s devastation,” said NRSC Communications Director Katie Martin. “Bill Nelson’s DC elitist behavior is always self-serving, but this kind of out of touch behavior reaches a new low.”
