The Real Nikki Tinker

Defeated Ninth District Congressional candidate Nikki Tinker strikes an apologetic tone over the religious and racially inflammatory ads her campaign ran against Steve Cohen — mostly because they didn’t work:

This is the real Nikki. You know Nikki is not into doing anything that would separate or divide our community,” she said.

But that’s exactly how some voters interpreted Tinker’s strategy, and in the end, hindsight is 20-20.

“If I’d had any idea that was the way it would have been interpreted, we never would have taken that approach,” she said.
