If only Linda McMahon had a kayak.
The Republican Senate contender missed a trio of fundraising appearances Sunday in Connecticut by her own party’s vice presidential nominee, U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wisc.
McMahon cited a conflict with her campaign schedule.
One of Ryan’s stops was in McMahon’s hometown at the waterfront home of state Sen. L. Scott Frantz, R-36th District.
So what was McMahon up to?
McMahon made a cameo at an annual clambake held by Republicans from her hometown at Greenwich Point Park, as Greenwich Time chronicled.
Frantz managed to squeeze in both events, which were a mere 1.17 miles from each other as the crow flies.
Heck, one can see Greenwich Point from Frantz’s pad.
Could Ryan’s controversial proposal to replace traditional Medicare with a voucher system have kept McMahon at bay?
Actually this was a cove, Greenwich Cove.
At the time the Ryan shindig was taking place, McMahon was spotted with her daughter, Stephanie Levesque, wrestler son-in-law Triple H, aka Paul Levesque, and her grandchildren at the Greenwich Land Trust’s Go Wild! Family Field Day at the Greenwich Polo Club in Conyers Farm, the same guarded enclave where she lives.
McMahons’ defenders say she had a jam-packed schedule that included at appearance at a fair in Durham.
“I’m not so sure she kept her distance from Paul Ryan,” said Pat Longo, the Republican National Committee woman for Connecticut and an ardent McMahon supporter.
Turns out she didn’t. At least, as the crow flies.
