Left: Gil Cisneros; right: Andy Thorburn (AP)Two Democrats in a blue-trending California congressional district locked horns Friday over a short piece of audio — a voice mail that candidate Andy Thorburn claims candidate Gil Cisneros left on his wife’s phone. The voice mail, first reported by the Intercept, is just a few seconds long. “The voice on that recording is not Gil Cisneros, plain and simple,” said Cisneros spokesman Orrin Evans. “The Intercept’s ‘story’ about a voice mail — apparently provided to them by the Thorburn campaign — is completely false and manufactured. “Multiple sources familiar with Mr. Cisneros identified the voice as the candidate’s voice,” the Intercept’s legal team wrote.
