Matt Gonzalez Condemns McCarthyist Tactics

"I'm a member of the Green Party. I'm proud of that. But I also want to say that I would not be a member of the Board of Supervisors had I not been elected by Democrats. And I would not have been president of the Board of Supervisors if I had not been elected by Democrats. And I would not be in a runoff in this race for mayor if Democrats had not voted for me."

"We don't want to cast this race as simply Greens vs. Democrats. We're also trying to undermine the efforts of the other side in casting the race in that way because we think they are appealing to a certain type of red-baiting of the old days, a certain kind of McCarthyism almost, this idea that, oh my God, if you're associated with the Green Party, there's something different about you."
