Imus sat by as McCain said Nelson resigned RNC over Ford ad
January 04, 2007 4:06 pm ET
SUMMARY: Don Imus didn't challenge
John McCain's claim that his 2008 presidential campaign manager, Terry
Nelson, while serving as head of the independent expenditure
unit of the Republican National
Committee, "realized it was a
mistake" to sign off on an ad attacking Tennessee Democratic Senate candidate Harold Ford Jr. and that Nelson subsequently
"resigned from the group of people who approved of it." In fact,
Nelson has publicly defended the ad, and there is no apparent evidence that
Nelson "resigned" from his RNC position in protest over the ad.
