(Idiot) NRSC Spokesman: Ed Markey Might Be Ineligible For Office

[cali]

In a series of Twitter exchanges with me this afternoon, the communications director for the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) posited that Congressman Ed Markey might be ineligible to be the US Senator from Massachusetts because of questions about his residency.

The exchange began after Brad Dayspring issued a press release claiming that Markey lied in last night’s debate when he said that he listed his Malden, Mass., address on his IRS tax form:

On Twitter, Dayspring called it “a HUGE lie with real ramifications.” I responded that it didn’t seem like that big a deal for voters, which led to this exchange:

Bernstein: I don’t know if Markey did his taxes correctly or not. Legit Q. If not, he should pay what he owes. So?

Dayspring: That would mean a) he lied – an issue b) he’s not a resident of Massachusetts, which could disqualify his campaign.

Bernstein: Oh tell me more!
