Kind of blows you away, huh?
It's Foley, it's the Marathon, it's 9/11, it's the 4th of July fireworks, nothing you see on that damn box is real!
Shortly after the Connecticut Citizens Defense League posted its bipartisan list of candidate endorsements on the group’s website, Malloy’s campaign called the league an ‘‘extreme right-wing gun advocacy group.’’
‘‘It’s clear that Tom Foley and the CCDL would stand together to take us backward on our smart gun law,’’ said Mark Bergman, Malloy’s campaign spokesman.
He was referring to comments Foley made during a debate earlier this week.
‘‘If the Legislature handed me a repeal provision of that bill, I would sign it,’’ Foley said Wednesday night. ‘‘That’s not saying I would seek repeal of the bill.’’
