A Democratic Member of Congress Just Labeled Tea Party Republicans as ‘Domestic Enemies’
Rep. Steve Cohen (D-Tenn.) branded
Tea Party members of Congress as “domestic enemies” during an appearance
on MSNBC Saturday morning.
“Really, you got to think — we take an
oath to support the country against all enemies, foreign and domestic,”
Cohen said. “These are the domestic enemies.”
The comments were aimed at Tea Party
members of Congress who voted against the debt deal that raised the
U.S.’ borrowing limit and reopened government.
“They think they are somehow umm… like…
it was all talked in military terms. They think they are some kind of
guerrillas there to strike a blow for freedom,” he said.
“I think they may try to pull this off again,” he added.
Cohen credited Nancy Pelosi and a
handful of “reasonable Republicans” for doing the right thing and voting
for legislation that raised the debt ceiling and reopened government.
