BOSTON — The Diehl campaign is hitting back after a recent New York Times piece seemed to indicate the Republican nominee would not commit to accepting the results of the general election in November.
“Liberal news organizations are obsessed with trying to get Republican politicians to commit to accepting the results of the 2022 election before it happens. These ‘gotcha’ questions from liberal outlets are not worth engaging in because all they are trying to do is weave a false narrative,” Republican gubernatorial nominee Geoff Diehl told the Boston Herald in an emailed statement.
A Sunday New York Times story about Republican refusal to accept the results of legitimate elections headlined “Echoing Trump, These Republicans Won’t Promise to Accept 2022 Results” indicated a spokesperson for Diehl replied “no comment” when asked if the former state representative would accept the results of the upcoming election.
