Virginia Foxx said "Our colleague from Oregon has just given us another example of how out of touch our colleagues across the aisle are. If he thinks that public radio is balanced and unbiased and our taking away that funding will have serious consequences, he is obviously not in touch with the American people. Republicans are in touch with the American people. That's why we're making this proposal. I live in a rural area, and I understand that. Again, you're blaming the victim. You're blaming the voters. Please, don't blame the voters. That's not what they're looking for." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
