On the recordApril 19, 2012
It's disturbing to me, with all that the Congressional Progressive Caucus has done to try to level the playing field in this country for working men and women, that we would all be lumped together and called names. I want you to comment about one of our colleagues who, in response to a question asked of him--how many Communists are there in the United States Congress?--this Congressman stepped up to the mike in a calm and polite manner--thoughtful-looking, with a pensive look on his face--and he said, I believe that there are between 78 and 81 members of the Communist Party who are Members of Congress. Now, can you respond to that, Congressman?
