I don't think this is a story. If I were a candidate, I wouldn't respond to some random reporter asking for a reaction to a statement made by a third party, based on that reporter quoting the statement. Especially an out-of-town reporter from an national newspaper. That's just asking for trouble. In fact, I would do just as McBride did - deflect the question by saying either I wasn't aware of the statement, or it was the first I had heard of it.
