Angry “Pennsylvania Voter” In Clinton Ad From New Jersey, Already Voted There - With Ad Video
The Swamp:
Clyde Thomas, who hammered Barack Obama in a new Hillary Clinton ad but is not registered to vote in Pennsylvania, responded with an impassioned defense of his Pennsylvania roots this afternoon.
“My father was born in PA, he graduated from Liberty High School, my mother was born in PA, she graduated from Taylor High School, both graduated from Moravian College,” he wrote in a post on the blog of the Morning Call. “Both my maternal grandmother and paternal grandmother lived in PA. All of my relatives are from PA and I visited Scranton every weekend until I was in the fifth grade and frequently thereafter, my sisters graduated from the University of Scranton, Temple University and Cedar Crest College.”
Thomas, who sports a goatee in the ad and says, “the good people of Pennsylvania deserve a lot better than what Barack Obama said,” is registered to vote in New Jersey but recently moved to Bethlehem, Pa. He is a Clinton volunteer and was approached by the campaign to appear in an ad first aired on Monday hammering Obama for his comments about “bitter” small town Pennsylvanians.
A flood of comments came rolling in today asking how the Clinton campaign could approach someone to appear in the ad who has lived his whole life in New Jersey and isn’t even registered to vote in Pennsylvania. He voted for Clinton in New Jersey Feb. 5.
Thomas’ answer: “I have strong roots in Pennsylvania.”
“When I was interviewed by the producers of the commercial I presented myself as a person new to PA, who has found Pennsylvanians to be warm, caring and hardworking people. There was no deception. As an American citizen, my stake in the future of this nation, and as a new resident of Pennsylvania my stake in the future of the state is as real an honest as every other individual in the country and in the state.”
