Palazzo denies claims he went AWOL from National Guard
Libertarian Candidate Ric McCluskey dropped one of his biggest accusations about incumbent Representative Steven Palazzo on Thursday night.
McCluskey claims Palazzo went AWOL from National Guard duty while serving in Bravo Company with the 1-155 Combined Arms Battalion in Poplarville. While he has no documentation to back up the claims, McCluskey says several sources came to him with information.
The main source is former Staff Sgt. Rolan Wade of Lucedale, who says Palazzo served as a squad leader under him…
…Jill Duckworth, Palazzo’s campaign manager refuted the claims, releasing the following statement:
““This is a ridiculous accusation and a desperate attempt to smear a soldier’s service solely for political gain. Furthermore it is completely false.””
