Talk with Tom - GOP Gov. candidate receives endorsement from sex offender with multiple convictions

http://freakoutnation.com/2014/06/22/watch-gop-gov-candidate-receives-endorsement-from-sex-offender-with-multiple-convictions/

Foley asked Buchanan if he has a job, in which he responded,” No, right now I’m unemployed.” But he added, “I was with my uncle in real estate. I take care of some of his buildings right now.”

Foley asked, “You going to stick around and vote in November?”

“I’m going to vote for Mr. Tom Foley, ” Buchanan replied. At the end of the video, it says, “I’m Tom Foley and I approve this message.”

According to criminal records, 64-year-old Jerry Buchanan served three months in prison in 2006 for three separate sex-assault misdemeanors in Guilford and Madison during May and July of 2005.

“These are spontaneous, man-on-the street interviews and they are not vetted or pre-screened,” Chris Cooper, Foley’s spokesman said.. “The only information we get about the subjects comes from what they provide on tape in a two or three minute interview about their views on Connecticut.

According to CT Post, the segment was filmed by Foley and a video crew as part of the Republican’s “Talk with Tom” series featured on the candidate’s website.

Foley’s campaign said they plan to scrub the interview from the website.
