After having lambasted Murphy for falling behind in his bills, and catching up with them without any political pressure, Linda McMahon announces that she will repay the creditors she stiffed in her 1976 bankruptcy. And make no mistake, hers was a strategic bankruptcy. She didn’t have to do it, and she didn’t need a fresh start, as the million dollar home she purchased as she emerged from her Chapter 7 proves.
When Chris, who would, if elected, be the least affluent person in the Senate, repaid his debts, he was still under financial stress, and the money meant something to him. Linda is only under political stress; at this point the money is just crumbs off her table, a rounding error on her tax return.
It truly is amazing how hypocritical these Republicans can be. She has been literally bragging about that bankruptcy for years, claiming that it proves that she dragged herself up from the gutter and that she therefore understands the common man. Once she found out that Chris was late with his rent a couple of times she contracted amnesia about the whole thing. It would be a classic case of the pot calling the kettle black, except in this case, the kettle is shiny by comparison.
Kudos to the New London Day for committing journalism on this issue.
