CHRISTON, Wilk. -- Name-calling is not new in politics, but it's been the theme of the Wilkonshire Senate race this week.
In an interview with conservative talk radio host Mike Tyler, Conservative candidate Bob Mellon called his NAT opponent, incumbent Senator Tom O'Hearn, a "doofus."
"Tom O'Hearn, if you look at the bills he's proposed and the press conferences he's held and all the issues he's championed, you can see real quick that this guy is a doofus," Mellon said.
"[O'Hearn] isn't working to get things done. Instead, he's out on the front steps of the capitol holding a press conference about #MeToo and global warming and white privilege. He's not focused on the economy or taxes or jobs. He's just a mouthpiece for the radical, far-left wing of the Nationalist party."
Mellon was referring to the NAT party press conferences where O'Hearn has a frequent presence.
Indeed, the senator has taken up the #MeToo movement as one of his chief causes.
"I don't think any woman in this country should have to worry about riding public transportation and getting harassed by men, or a man assaulting them and getting away with it," he said, as liberal activists stood behind him holding signs that said "Not in my country."
O'Hearn has also been outspoken on climate change, introducing unsuccessful Carbon Tax legislation. He has vowed to continue to reintroduce the bill if the NAT wins a larger majority in the Senate.
The senator, who is seeking his second full term, responded to Mellon's jab, telling the GBC that Mellon is devolving to "petty insults."
"Bob Mellon may not think protecting women from sexual assault is important, and he may not believe in climate change, but I can tell you that as long as I am in the Senate, I will fight every day for these issues, because they are important to Wilkonshireans," O'Hearn said.
Mellon, an assemblyman from Petersboro in southern Wilkonshire, is making his first state-wide run for office. He's repeatedly cast O'Hearn as far-left, politically correct and out of touch with average Wilkonshireans.
Likewise, the O'Hearn campaign has portrayed Mellon as a radical conservative who favors big corporations and the rich.
