Dave Dennis campaign starts ‘sniping’ at Phil Bryant over debates

Dennis camp says Bryant dodging debates

Brian Perry, spokesman for Dave Dennis, was critical of Bryant, and said Bryant also missed a recent debate held at Mississippi State University.

“Kirk Fordice wouldn’t have dodged a debate,” Perry said. “Haley Barbour wouldn’t dodge a debate, and Dave Dennis isn’t dodging a debate. As Phil Bryant dodges more and more, people have to wonder what he’s afraid of.”

But Bryant campaign spokesman Quinton Dickerson said Bryant has a scheduling conflict and “unfortunately, Phil Bryant will not be able to attend due to an event the same time on the schedule that we are unable to cancel.”
