Earlier today the Florida Family Policy Council and the Central Florida Tea Party hosted a debate between Florida Republican Senate candidates Adam Hasner, George LeMieux, Mike McCalister, and Craig Miller.
I'll share my thoughts about the debate in general later, but wanted to post this about what happened after the debate first.
You may have noticed a bit of a kerfuffle this week between McCalister and a veterans' group called the Stolen Valor Task Force, who have questioned some of the claims made by McCalister during the campaign.
After the debate, reporters were chatting with different candidates, and Marc Caputo with the Miami Herald approached McCalister. The second Caputo mentioned the issue with the veterans' group, things got interesting.
McCalister claimed, "I did not say testify in front of Congress," became very agitated, and he and his handler hastily headed for the exit.
Here's a link to Caputo's post and video:
