US Senator Scott Brown’s campaign said the senator misspoke when he asserted in a radio interview this morning that he has held meetings with “kings and queens.”
The comments on WTKK-FM were roundly mocked by Democrats. Brown, in making them, was pushing back against critics who say his campaign has not been focused on serious issues, pointing out that he ran a radio ad about military base closings. He also said he was working on substantive issues on a daily basis, some that involve royalty.
“Each and every day that I’ve been a United States senator, I’ve been discussing issues, meeting on issues, in secret meetings and with kings and queens and prime ministers and business leaders and military leaders, talking, voting, working on issues every single day,” he said on the Jim Braude and Margery Eagan Show.
Brown spokesman Colin Reed said in an e-mail that “Senator Brown was speaking generally about private meetings he has had with foreign and domestic leaders.”
He later acknowledged that Brown, who has made his reputation as a truck-driving everyman, has not met with any royalty.
