Snyder Campaign: Part of a Cover-Up?
CMU Blogger Says Campaign Wrote Apology Letter for Her
LANSING - CMU Republican blogger Vanessa Oblinger now says she never wrote an apology letter to the Snyder for Governor Campaign, rather someone from the Snyder campaign wrote it for her.
The so-called "apology letter" tries to clear the Snyder campaign of any wrong-doing and accuses Attorney General Mike Cox and Oakland County Sheriff Mike Bouchard of throwing parties where alcohol was served to minors.
But in an interview with Central Michigan Life, Oblinger says she never wrote the apology letter to begin with, but someone from the Snyder campaign actually wrote it for her:
It was prepared by someone else. I didn't really read it over...it was while I was distracted.
"Rick Snyder is so desperate to avoid responsibility that his campaign wrote an apology to deflect blame from himself and his campaign," Michigan Democratic Party Chair Mark Brewer said. "This is why we need a thorough investigation of the events on the Island. The Republicans can't seem to get their stories straight and the candidates are all pointing their fingers at each other. We need to get to the bottom of this and find out which candidates broke the law by serving alcohol to minors on the Island."
