Sen. Warren eviscerates Scott Brown

An email I got this morning:

"Self-serving and hypocritical"

Manny, I have good news and bad news.

The good news: This weekend, we raised more than $40,000 to help Jeanne Shaheen beat Scott Brown in New Hampshire – surpassing our $25,000 goal.

Now the bad news: Karl Rove's Super PAC just announced that it's spending $600,000 on a new round of ads attacking our friend Jeanne.

We know first-hand how aggressive, relentless, and deceptive Scott Brown's attacks can be. And now he's signed on to get the dirtiest, most secretive help he can find to attack Jeanne Shaheen. So we need to fight back.

We're not going to be able to put together $600,000 as quickly as Karl Rove's anonymous billionaire and corporate friends – but we can still make an important difference. Can we double our goal and raise $50,000 for Jeanne?

Make a donation to fight back against the efforts of Karl Rove, the Koch Brothers, and the Republican Party to get Scott Brown back in the U.S. Senate.

You may remember that, during our campaign in Massachusetts, the outside groups spent $3 million in attack ads just in the first few months of our campaign. So in January 2012, Scott Brown and I signed a pledge to keep outside money out of the race. The pledge surprised all the pundits and succeeded at keeping the Super PACs off the air. Karl Rove and the Koch Brothers stayed out of Massachusetts, and voters heard loud and clear from our campaigns about what we believe in.

But Scott Brown lost – and he has wasted no time making clear he's going to take any shady outside money he can get this time around. On Saturday, after Jeanne Shaheen signed a Peoples' Pledge that is identical to the agreement we signed two years ago in Massachusetts, Scott Brown called Jeanne's signature "self-serving and hypocritical."

Wow.

Scott Brown attacking Jeanne Shaheen as "self-serving and hypocritical" for signing the Peoples' Pledge was like the time Karl Rove attacked me for supporting Wall Street – totally unreal. Jeanne Shaheen showed real courage and did what's right – and I hope we can back her up.

He spends a lot of time talking about how he's an outsider, but Scott Brown welcoming Karl Rove and the Koch brothers with open arms is the ultimate insider move. Now that he's moved into Karl Rove's pocket, settling in with all of Karl Rove's money, he has become a Big Time Insider in the ugliest part of politics.

Help Jeanne raise $50,000 to stop Scott Brown in his new home of New Hampshire. We need to make sure people in New Hampshire know as much about Scott Brown's record as voters of Massachusetts did when they decided to vote him out. Please make a donation right now.

Thank you for being a part of this,

Elizabeth
