Kendrick Meek: “Ms. Wasserman Schultz, it was not ``finally''; it was because the American people were saying, what's wrong with you…”

“Ms. Wasserman Schultz, it was not ``finally''; it was because the American people were saying, what's wrong with you guys? What is going on? I did not elect you all to go up there and represent the super-wealthy, and I didn't elect you all to make specials deals with special interests. I did not elect you to be fiscally irresponsible. They are reading the same papers. Somebody give me a newspaper. I just need a newspaper. They are reading the same newspapers and watching the same news and getting the same phone calls we are getting in our office about, are you all still with us? Are you with us or are you with them? I need to get my Newt Gingrich quote up here because I just want to make sure that folks do not get confused. Ms. Wasserman Schultz, I want to make sure that we tell it the way it is because I believe the American people and some Members are getting what we are sharing with them. You have the Gingrich quote. I think it is important that we continue to share this information. When we talk about third-party validators, this is not just something that we talk about over lunch and say that sounds good. No, this is from government offices and former Members of this Chamber and generals that are out there that are retired and some are still serving.”
