Obama — in his de facto new role as leader of the Democratic Party — just put out a statement condemning Nikki Tinker's attack on Stephen Cohen, which has been widely interpreted as a thinly disguised reference to Cohen's Judaism:
“These incendiary and personal attacks have no place in our politics and will do nothing to help the good people of Tennessee. It’s time to turn the page on a politics driven by negativity and division so that we can come together to lift up our communities and our country,” Obama said.
(Tinker has pulled the attack ad from her YouTube channel; you can read a bit about it here.)
MSNBC's Keith Olbermann last night labeled Tinker "the worst person in the world."
