NEW: Tiverton Democratic Party Chairman Rips Anthony Gemma

A member of the Executive Committee for the Democratic City and Town Committee Chairs Association is taking Congressional candidate Anthony Gemma to task after witnessing Gemma’s “arrogance and condescending attitude” during a presentation Monday evening.

Mike Burk, the chairman of the Tiverton Democratic Town Committee, claims Gemma sounded more like a Republican and questioned whether the candidate should even be running in the primary.

“I have to tell you that I was appalled by Mr. Gemma's arrogance and condescending attitude,” Burk said. “While both Congressmen focused on their record and the importance of ensuring a Democratic majority is returned to the House, Mr. Gemma simply reiterated his platform from his first campaign which is better suited for a Gubernatorial campaign and focused on personally attacking Congressman Cicilline. I've done political work in several states throughout my life and met some arrogant and egotistical politicians. Gemma ranks at the top of the heap!”
