Does Tom Kean Jr. Think Jokes About Assaulting Women Are Funny?

On Saturday night, Tom Kean Jr. endorser and Trump apologist Kevin McCarthy made a “joke” saying it would be “hard not to hit” Speaker Nancy Pelosi with a gavel.

During his campaign launch, reports found moderate Republicans and Kean’s father’s allies were “irritated” at the campaign’s decision to invite not-so-great GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy to Kean Jr’s kickoff, with a Kean Sr. ally reportedly calling the invitation “outrageous.” Some even accused him of “tarnishing the family name.”

Will Kean Jr. stand up to his friend McCarthy and prove he’s independent or will he sit silently in the face of unfunny, gross jokes about assault?

 

DCCC Spokesperson James Singer

“It’s simple. Tom Kean Jr. should let New Jersey know if he thinks assaulting women is funny or not.”
