Coakley Turns MLK Breakfast Into Campaign Event

“I certainly didn’t realize that this was a rally for Martha,” said Brown. “I think it’s inappropriate to ask for people’s votes when they’re trying to remember Martin Luther King Jr.”

Coakley was invited by event organizers to speak at the Hynes Convention Center breakfast. Brown sat in the crowd with supporters. He said he was not invited to speak.

“We are in the middle of a very close election. I know that people are frustrated. They’re angry. They may be focusing that in many different ways,” Coakley said during her remarks.

“Do not forget they were problems that were not created by, but inherited by our president Barack Obama,” Coakley said.

Coakley has hit bottom and continues to dig.
