Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) recently spoke about fostering “a more civil tone” in Washington at the Bloomberg Washington Summit.
When Rep. Blackburn was asked why she does not condemn the vitriolic rhetoric from the “Tea Party” wing of the Republican party, she reminded the audience why those voices are important to her.
Roll Call reports her response:
Asked whether she would pledge to no longer endorse the language of protesters who accuse President Barack Obama and Congressional Democrats of being “socialist” and “evil” because of their health care reform plan, Blackburn paused before saying, “I’m happy to tell you the American people are very frustrated and what I can speak to is for me. And what I seek to do is represent my constituents in a way that is going to honor the fact that they have elected me and sent me here.”
