Connecticut GOP Chairman Jerry Labriola Jr. and Democratic Congressman Jim Himes are dueling for Twitter supremacy.
In a Hearst Connecticut Newspapers article about the growing field of would-be challengers to Himes in the 4th Congressional District, which was controlled by the GOP for 40 years before the seat went Democratic during the last two elections, Labriola vowed that there would be a Republican renaissance.
“It’s a Republican seat and we aim to take it back,” Labriola said.
Himes took a dig at Labriola’s comment via Twitter Wednesday.
“Head of CT Repubs called the seat I hold ’a Republican seat.’ Sorry, Jerry, belongs to all my many constituents, not me or you,” Himes wrote.
Determined to get the last word, here’s the latest salvo from Labriola.
I agree with Greg, time to grow up Jerry and Jimmy and stop playing kid’s games in the interweb. Facespace and titter are for children which is exactly what you two look like when you act like this.
Grown men tweeting political hostility at one another…yawn.
This is what our state’s Republican Party’s Chair and 4th Congressional District Rep are ‘busy’ doing.
Hope they have the time to ‘block’ one another on Faecbook as well.
