Andy Martin Calls Mark Kirk "De Facto Pedophile" In New Ad

[LoZoccolo]

Andy Martin, the U.S. Senate candidate who made waves by claiming his opponent - U.S. Rep. Mark Kirk - was gay, is at it again, this time attacking Kirk for covering up pedophilia in the United States Congress. The minute-long ad began airing on local radio today. So how did Kirk - and Dennis Hastert - cover up pedophilia? By not stopping Mark Foley's infamous affairs with underaged staffers. Martin hits a new nadir when, in the ad, he makes clear that, "Kirk is not a pedophile," but then feels compelled to add that since Kirk helped to "cover up" Foley's trysts, that makes Kirk "a de facto pedophile." No. Really. He says that.

I heard the ad this morning and wondered why both of these Republicans are fighting for a nomination when it's so hard for a Republican to win here anyways.

1. Andy Martin is an equal opportunity hater

Even the IL state Repubs kicked him out.
