| Sydney Gruters just got torched by her local editorial board. The Bradenton Times Editorial Board published a blistering criticism of Gruters today, calling her “unqualified” and unable “to articulate any sort of coherent platform.”
The Bradenton Times highlights that “the reason her handlers have kept her on such a short leash is that she simply does not know very much about the issues at stake.”
The editorial also criticizes Gruters for refusing to communicate “in all but safe spaces.”
Read key excerpts of their takedown below:
- We find Sydney Gruters unqualified for an office for which the bar should be infinitely higher than the post-Citizens United landscape has made it.
- She struggled to articulate any sort of coherent platform, routinely falling back on tired MAGA talking points.
- The fact that she has been so intensely protected from having to communicate in all but the safest of spaces, and that her rare ventures into even the most tepid of forums suggest that the reason her handlers have kept her on such a short leash is that she simply does not know very much about the issues at stake.
- Simply put, if she were not the wife of the Republican National Committee Chair, she would not be taken seriously as a candidate, even in the most Republican-friendly environments.
