Rep. Alan Grayson (D-FL) smokes Republicans on health care
Grayson sticking to his guns...
Rep. Alan Grayson isn't backing down from his claim that Republicans "want you to die quickly." "I stand by what I said," Grayson told reporters on Wednesday. "I didn't violate any House rules. I didn't do anything inappropriate," he said. "I'm not under any pressure at all."
Republicans fumed Tuesday night and Wednesday morning after Grayson portrayed GOP health care plans as: Don't get sick — if you do, die quickly. Republicans have introduced a resolution of disapproval condemning Grayson's comments. Grayson said Democratic leaders had not asked him to apologize — not even Rep. John B. Larson, who had said he would encourage Grayson to say he was sorry.
Asked if he was worried about his re-election in an Orlando-based swing district, Grayson said his chances of winning are better. "It improves them," he said. "People like elected officials with guts who say what they mean."
