MI- 1: Debate organizers scold Lon Johnson for personal attacks, NRCC responds to Johnson’s attacks on Bergman’s military service

The desperation of former Democrat Chairman Lon Johnson was evident in Traverse City on Monday night as he was held accountable by debate organizers, third party candidates, and the audience for his negative personal attacks against Lt General Jack Bergman.

From the Traverse City Record Eagle Newspaper:

“Johnson looked past Libertarian Diane Bostow and Green Party Candidate Ellis Boal several times Monday night to criticize Bergman on his positions before moderators David Cassleman from Interlochen Public Radio and Jack Segal with Traverse City International Affairs Forum interrupted to remind the candidates of forum rules, including to refrain from personal attacks.”

The NRCC also released an advertisement that responded to Johnson and Nancy Pelosi’s attack on Bergman’s military service.  Johnson and Pelosi’s Super PAC have continuously attacked Lt General Bergman on the airwaves for living in Louisiana. Their ads don’t mention that Lt General Jack Bergman was in Louisiana because he was stationed there by the United States Marines honorably serving his country.

Johnson’s personal conduct in the debates and his attacks on Lt General Bergman’s military service are clear indicators that Johnson is getting very desperate in MI-1.
