CHICAGO (WBBM) -- The head of the Illinois Republican Party says the party will no longer recognize Andy Martin as a legitimate Republican candidate.
Reaction to the Andy Martin political ads from Pat Brady, the chairman of the Illinois Republican Party?
"Consider the source."
Brady calls Martin "a sick man."
"Let's take a reality check. There's no way this guy will win any elections. He has a history of doing this, this hate-filled speech and this bizarre behavior, so he's not going to be anybody's nominee, but he will no longer be recognized by the state of Illinois... Republican party as a candidate."
Brady says he doesn't believe Martin's ads will have any effect on Mark Kirk.
