Does Mark believe that Seventh District voters are bigots? The strange case of Ken Brock makes one wonder.

Briefly what happened was this: Ken Brock, Mark's chief of staff, requested an interview with Susan Demas, a Battle Creek Enquirer columnist who has hardly been favorably disposed toward Congressman Walberg.  At the time of this interview, Senator Schauer was trying to avoid a primary battle, and Ken Brock, his chief of staff, said the following about David Nacht, a lawyer who was considering a run for the position:

“…David Nacht, people are not going to vote for a liberal, Jewish trial lawyer from the east side of the district.”

Ms. Demas, commenting on the interview, subsequently, made the following observations:

• "In a 35 minute interview, which Mr. Brock requested from me, he repeatedly castigated both Mr. Berryman [who was also considering a run for the position] and Mr. Nacht. That is why I included the quotes. I am not interested in going after Sen. Schauer or Mr. Brock any more than I am interested in going after Congressman Walberg. I call them as I see them. And when politicians of all stripes cross over a line, I think it's the media's job to report that."
• "I do not profess to know Mr. Brock's heart or intentions. But what he said was not accidental and there was no apology to me or request for a retraction. And no, I don't think it's a minor issue. Mr. Brock was bombastic throughout the interview, holding Mr. Berryman and Mr. Nacht in contempt. As the Senate Minority Leader's chief of staff, his words and actions are a reflection of his boss."

Despite being given several opportunities to distance himself from his chief of staff's  remarks, Senator Schauer has not done so.

Does Senator Schauer think that Seventh District Voters are bigots? Does he believe that Mr. Brock's comments will actually help him in his run for a congressional seat?  If not, then why hasn't he publicly rebuked his chief of staff? One can only wonder.
