The following is a statement of Republican National Committee Chairman Ed Gillespie on a Kerry New York fundraiser:
"Last night at a Hollywood fundraiser in New York City John Kerry said 'this campaign will be a celebration of real American values' and that 'every performer conveyed... the heart and soul of our country.'
"According to media accounts, the performers took the stage to call the President of the United States a 'liar,' a 'cheap thug who sacrifices our young,' and 'a killer.' I look forward to today when Senator Kerry tells the people of West Virginia and New Mexico that he sees hate and vitriol as America's heart and soul. I doubt anyone will be celebrating."
