GOP pays to rally black support for Sen. Scott Brown
Senator Scott Brown, R.-Mass., supporter is paying Obama supporters to support the incumbent in his hard fought race against Elizabeth Warren.
The Boston Herald reports that Benjamin Thompson, who is African-American, is running “Obama supporters for Brown” that is paying about 20 “volunteers” a daily rate that works out to about $8 per hour. Their responsibilities include wearing pro-Brown T-shirts. At least four of the participants are homeless.
The storefront operation has support from the GOP’s MassVictory push but the Brown campaign had no comment.
