Sen. Scott Brown (R-Mass.) was never planning to attend a tea party rally featuring Sarah Palin this week in Boston, his staff told POLITICO, and did not intend his absence to come off as a snub.
Brown spokeswoman Gail Gitcho told POLITICO that coming off of a two week legislative recess, Brown had always planned to be in Washington this week.
Brown drew notice Monday after the Boston Herald reported that Brown was skipping the rally.
In a story headlined Scott Brown snubs Sarah Palin, bags Tea Party rally, Herald reporter Edward Mason wrote that Browns decision to skip the first big rally in Boston by the group whose members are credited with helping him win election has some experts saying hes tossed the Tea Party overboard, as he prepares for re-election in 2012.
The story was fodder for bloggers eager to highlight any GOP slight directed at Palin or a rift between a GOP lawmaker and the tea party movement.
