BOSTON – Massachusetts Democratic Party Chair Tom McGee today called on Republican Charlie Baker to explain why his Republican Party reportedly asked a local news reporter to leave the room before Baker delivered remarks in Newton.

“I know that Democrats in Massachusetts have better ideas than Republicans on how to create jobs and keep us No. 1 in education but I didn’t think Republicans are so afraid of their ideas becoming public that they wouldn’t let the press hear their candidates speak,” McGee said. “Republican Charlie Baker should explain why reporters were asked to leave before he spoke recently in Newton; voters need to know what he stands for.”
