Attorney General Maura Healey calls Curt Schilling ‘TrumpLite’
Attorney General Maura Healey called Curt Schilling “TrumpLite” on social media Tuesday following his announcement that he wants to run against Elizabeth Warren in the U.S. Senate.
Healey, a Democrat, posted her thoughts on Twitter, writing “Bring it on.” Warren fights for Massachusetts families, she wrote.
.@elizabethforma fights for Massachusetts families. @gehrig38 is TrumpLite. 3 words: Bring it on. #fighter

“I’ve made my decision, I’m going to run,” said Schilling, a Trump supporter, in an Associated Press report. “But I have to talk to Shonda, my wife, and ultimately it’s going to come down to how her and I feel this would affect our marriage and our kids.”
Healey told WBZ, about Schilling, “I respect and admire his exploits on the field and what he did as a Boston Red Sock, but it takes a lot more than a bloody sock, a failed video business and Trump-like comments like that to represent the people of Massachusetts. They deserve more.”
Healey was referring to the collapse of his video game company, 38 Studios. Last month, Schilling agreed to a $2.5 million settlement in a lawsuit over Rhode Island’s $75 million deal with 38 Studios, bringing the total amount of settlements in the case to $45 million.
Schilling was fired by ESPN this year for “unacceptable conduct” after he wrote an insulting Facebook post about transgender people. On Friday, Schilling defended Donald Trump’s comment about a 10-year-old girl to Fox Business Network.
Schilling explained to readers why he will vote for Trump in a May post on his official blog.
