Labrador On Bill: ‘Oooh, I’m Scared’
Here's a piece from Politico this morning about House members, including Idaho's Raul Labrador, being unimpressed with the bipartisan immigration measure that's being considered by the Senate. Here's the salient paragraphs:
"If 70 to 80 senators vote for the bipartisan bill — which some in the Senate are aiming for — the House would barely feel pressure to take up the bill. Most conservatives instead would see passing the legislation as an act of mass stupidity. 'I don’t know, Mother always told me that if 70 people jump off a cliff, you shouldn’t follow them,' Rep. Tom McClintock (R-Calif.) said. Rep. Raul Labrador, an Idaho Republican respected on immigration issues, mocked fear of a large Senate vote, saying, 'Oooh, I’m scared.' Full Politico report here.
Question: Is that a classy reaction on Labrador's part to an immigration reform push that he bailed on recently?
