von Stein fires back
Nick von Stein, the Miami University master’s student and teacher’s assistant who is challenging Rep. John Boehner, R-West Chester, didn’t take kindly to Boehner’s remarks about him Thursday, May 8.
First off, von Stein now lives in Hamilton, not Mason, as he did when he filed for his candidacy. “I live here,” he said. “John Boehner should start paying attention because I’m here, and maybe his lack of attention says a lot about what’s going on in this country, especially in this district.”
von Stein called Boehner “an absentee landlord” focused more on making cracks to D.C. reporters than representing his constituents.
Ouch.
In other news, Dana Milbank of the Washington Post wrote a column Friday, May 9 about Boehner’s bum luck - as well as a surprisingly contentious vote over Mother’s Day. Read it here
