“I’m not sure where it kind of went off track”

Ready, an “amateur photographer,” got into a heated tete-a-tete with Bielat during which Ready called him “dude,” mocked the Republican candidate’s jokes and told him to “get used to” having his picture taken. The flap, which occurred last week after a debate at WGBH-TV studios in Brighton, was caught on tape in an exclusive Herald video.

“I don’t think he meant any harm whatsoever,” Frank spokesman Harry Gural said of Ready. “I’m not sure where it kind of went off track.”…

“The photo he took of Sean Bielat is actually quite flattering,” Gural said.
