Yonkers City Councilman and New York State Senate candidate John Murtagh was interviewed this morning regarding Bill Ayers and the ever-changing accounts from Barack Obama about how close the two men were. Murtagh noted that Michelle Obama and Bernadine Dorhn (Ayers’ wife and a former Weather Undergound bomber herself) worked together at the law firm of Sidley and Austin as early as 1988.
MURTAGH: Bill Ayers’ wife Bernadine Dohrn, also one of the original leaders of the Weather Underground, and the woman who took credit for the bombing at our home and other New York targets, Bernadine Dohrn was a attorney by training. She couldn’t get admitted to bar because of her crimes. Bill Ayers’ family got her a job at a large Chicago law firm, Sydney and Austin in the 1980s. She was contemporary at that law firm in the 80s with Michelle Obama. It was the firm where a year later – DOOCY: Known each other around the water cooler. MURTAGH: Sure and a year later it’s where Michelle and Barack Obama met. So I believe if the Senator were to come clean and tell us the full story we’d find out this relationship well predates the fundraiser held in the Ayers’ home and goes back to the 80s.
