Who the fuck is Scot Brown, btw?
Never heard the name before this special election thingy.
Let's see wot Open Congress Wiki has to say about him...
Scott Brown is a Massachusetts State Senator and a Republican. He is well-known in Massachusetts for having appeared unclothed in Cosmopolitan magazine when in law school, and also for repeatedly using profanity while addressing a group of high school students, some of whom had posted rude comments about him online. His daughter Ayla was a contestant on the fifth season of American Idol. He has announced his intention to run for U.S. Senate to fill the seat vacated by Senator Edward Kennedy's death. The special election will be held January 19, 2010.

K, Doesn't say anything about his teabaggery.
Back to teh googleZ!
From his wiki page...
In the special election campaign in 2010, controversy erupted over an amendment Brown had sponsored in 2005, which, according to The Boston Globe, "would have allowed a doctor, nurse or hospital to deny rape victims an emergency contraceptive if it 'conflicts with a sincerely held religious belief.'" Coakley ran a television advertisement charging, "Brown even favors letting hospitals deny emergency contraception to rape victims." Brown's daughter Ayla called the Coakley advertisement "completely inaccurate and misleading", and Brown criticized Coakley for running what he described as "attack ads"

K, that's pretty farked up.
Beyond that Brown appears to be a moderate Republican with a nuanced position on both abortion and gay marriage that you simply don't find with the totally 'tarded teabag set.
In terms of Brown "boasting" about his affiliation with the baggers Spud could only find THIS in the Boston Globe...
He also claimed that he was unfamiliar with the "Tea Party movement," when asked by a reporter.

So it does kinda look like Schumer is overstating his case there, to put it mildly.
Be Well.
