Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan of Alaska did not hold back during Thursday night’s high-stakes “Debate for the State” in Anchorage when he spotted his Democrat opponent, former Rep. Mary Peltola, appearing to read from scripted notes or answers.
Sullivan appeared suspicious after observing Peltola consulting her notes and suggested that her responses looked suspiciously prepared.
“We weren’t supposed to get these questions beforehand, were we?” Sullivan asked the moderators from Alaska Public Media and Alaska’s News Source.
The moderator replied firmly: “Neither one of you got questions beforehand. Absolutely not.”
Sullivan didn’t let it go. “Okay, I’m just watching my opponent read from questions that seem to be answered.”
Peltola’s response was pure Democrat confidence: “I’m prepared.”
