- In a news conference and op-ed, Anita Charles, the sister of Republican candidate Bobby Charles, says she cannot support her brother because of his ‘divisive rhetoric,’ attacks on public education and stance on abortion.
In a strikingly personal op-ed in the Portland Press Herald — and then again at a news conference Wednesday — Anita Charles said she cannot support her brother because of his “divisive rhetoric,” attacks on public education and stance on abortion.
“Maine deserves leadership rooted in empathy, dignity, intellectual honesty and respect for every person who calls this state home,” Anita Charles wrote in the op-ed. “That person is not Bobby.”
What do you think about the op-ed and Charles’ response? Let us know in the comments.
