Brady, the GOP nominee for governor, says he will not apologize for his party, despite Governor Quinn suggesting he was at the Beck appearance and clapping as Beck made an off color remark about Michelle Obama's healthy eating plan.
"The governor's got to realize that just because he says something, it doesn't make it true. I was not at the Glenn Beck event with Glenn Beck. I don't know what Glenn Beck said," Brady said.
The Right Nation event at the Sears Centre Arena in Hoffman Estates last month featured a long list of conservative speakers, Beck and Brady among them.
The governor brought up last month's event after Brady suggested Quinn apologize for the disparaging remarks made by a supporter. Quinn has refused, and in addition wants the down state senator to apologize for his voting record.. which included voting against a minimum wage increase.
