Right-wing extremists ?are guilty of murder,? Sen. Angus King tells Salon - Salon.com
Repubs want to hurt the poor, women, elderly, children. That's their goal.
And, yes, they could be responsible for people dying.
Lots for the R to celebrate.
Thats a scandal those people are guilty of murder in my opinion, Sen. Angus King, a Maine Independent who caucuses with Democrats, told me in a Friday interview. Some of those people they persuade are going to end up dying because they dont have health insurance. For people who do that to other people in the name of some obscure political ideology is one of the grossest violations of our humanity I can think of. This absolutely drives me crazy.
I tried to look up the phone number for one of these guys to ask are you aware of what youre doing? he added.
Forty years ago, when King was 29 years old, he was provided health insurance as a staffer for then-Sen. Bill Hathaway, D-Maine, and for the first time in a decade went to a clinic for a checkup.
I had a health policy that included in it a free annual physical as a part of the policy and they had evening clinic hours. And I wouldnt have taken the day off and if that hadnt been covered under the insurance theres no doubt in my mind that I wouldnt have gone to have the checkup, King said.
