"Talk about fairweather friends.
Iowa state Sen. Kent Sorenson (R), who was Minnesota Rep. Michele BachmannÂ’s state campaign chairman, endorsed Texas Rep. Ron Paul Wednesday night.
At a rally in Des Moines, Sorenson told the crowd, “We’re going to take Ron Paul all the way to the White House.”
He did not tell Bachmann of his decision until he was en route to the Paul rally, billed as an event for veterans.
“Kent Sorenson personally told me he was offered a large sum of money to go to work for the Paul campaign,” Bachmann told reporters.
“Kent said to me yesterday that ‘everyone sells out in Iowa, why shouldn’t I,’ then he told me he would stay with our campaign. The Ron Paul campaign has to answer for its actions.”
