On “This Week,” South Carolina Senator Jim DeMint was played audio of him saying, “If we’re able to stop Obama on this, it will be his Waterloo; it will break him.” Terry Moran asked him about it. (via Think Progress)
MORAN: So did you break him? And is that really how Americans want you to behave here in Washington, break the president? […]
DEMINT: I did not want this to be the President’s Waterloo. But pushing through a massive government take over of our health care system was certainly not a good idea. … We’ve been as Republicans pushing health care reform for years.
Senator Bob Menendez of New Jersey pointed out that DeMint said exactly what he claimed he didn’t say.
