HARRISBURG — Republican Party of Pennsylvania Chairman Rob Gleason released the following statement regarding Joe Sestak and The White House’s continued refusal to come clean about the details surrounding the Obama administration’s efforts to buy him out of the race for the U.S. Senate.
“How much is a U.S. Senate seat worth to the Obama administration, and why is Joe Sestak protecting a White House that attempted to bribe him out of the U.S. Senate race?,” Gleason said.”For months, Joe Sestak has garnered national media attention by claiming that the White House offered him a job if he left the U.S. Senate race, only to clam up when the media asked him to explain these explosive allegations.
“President Obama came into office promising an administration built upon openness and transparency, but his administration’s inability to answer these simple questions raises serious questions. Both the White House and Joe Sestak owe it to the American people, especially the people of Pennsylvania, to explain exactly what happened in ‘Jobgate.’ It also begs the questions, who would Joe Sestak rather protect: the White House or the people of our Commonwealth?”
