Scott Brown Rented His Email List To Website That Sent 'Nazi' Messages
CATHERINE THOMPSON – FEBRUARY 6, 2014, 7:24 AM EST
Former Sen. Scott Brown (R-MA) is cutting ties with conservative website Newsmax after it sent a disputed email about Alzheimer's disease to his political mailing list Wednesday morning.
The email from Newsmax, headlined "5 Signs You'll Get Alzheimer's Disease," struck even Scott's Republican supporters as odd. The article promoted a doctor who reportedly compared the country's heath care reform to Nazi-style thinking and said the former Soviet Union introduced drugs and AIDS to the United States, according to New Hampshire TV station WMUR.
Brown explained to WMUR that he does rent out his email list to vendors, albeit selectively.
"With regard to this vendor, I was exploring entering into an occasional rental agreement with the vendor that sent out the email this morning," he said. "While the issues of Alzheimer's is personal to me and an issue I have been working on for years, I did not approve or authorize the sending of this particular email. Due to this and other issues, I am terminating my relationship with this vendor effective immediately."
