Kosmas Campaign: Feeney's "Apology" Raises More Questions
New Smyrna Beach, FL – The Kosmas for Congress today released a list of questions Tom Feeney's new advertisement, in which he attempts to apologize for his unethical behavior and ties to convicted lobbyist Jack Abramoff, brings up. In the advertisement, Feeney, a career politician and former lobbyist, tries to pass off a pattern of deception as a "rookie" mistake in a desperate political move.
"Feeney's record reflects a pattern of deception; this incident was far from a 'rookie' mistake for a career politician and former lobbyist. This only raises more questions about his unethical behavior, particularly in light of his efforts to block a congressional ethics investigation into the matter," said Paul Dunn, Campaign Manager for Kosmas for Congress.
Feeney's politically motivated "apology" is scheduled to hit airwaves tomorrow, September 23rd, exactly six weeks before Election Day and a week after the Kosmas Campaign released polling data showing the race essentially tied.
The ad raises additional questions about Feeney's behavior throughout his political career. Specifically, Floridians deserve to know:
When was the last time Tom Feeney spoke with the FBI? Is he cooperating with the FBI's investigation?
Can Feeney assure voters that their Congressman will not be indicted?
Have Tom Feeney's office records been subpoenaed?
Why did it take Tom Feeney five years to admit a mistake?
Why did Tom Feeney vote to block a congressional ethics investigation?
Why did Tom Feeney claim he did nothing on behalf of imprisoned lobbyist Jack Abramoff when official records tell another story?
Why did Tom Feeney only pay back around $5,000 for the trip when court documents have shown the actual cost was closer to $20,000?
"If public service really is about honesty for Tom Feeney, then he owes Floridians much more than just a thirty second explanation. They deserve the full story," added Dunn.
