Blackburn to Wolf: ‘You All Are Hung Up’ on Attendance of the Town Hall

RUSH EXCERPT:
BLITZER: “So they didn’t have to prove they lived in your district?” 
BLACKBURN: “That is fine. You know, it’s one of those things that they had made a reservation. The city let the people who had made the reservation in for the town hall. And quite frankly, you know, I think we have more important things to argue about or to discuss and they were invited in. They were given the opportunity to ask questions. The city was very gracious to them. Not a big deal was made. Even those that identified themselves when they asked their question as living outside of my district, wolf, I did not ask them to not ask their question. I accepted their question and I answered their question. So, I guess you all are hung up on, you know, the percentages. I mean, I’d rather discuss things about how we replace some of the tax code, how we free up the health care system.” 
BLITZER: “We’re not hung up, congresswoman, on the percentages.” 
BLACKBURN: “Well, it sounds like it.” 
BLITZER: “I only raise the question because you were the one who said only a third of the people who were at that town hall —“ 
BLACKBURN: “That was the estimate that was given to me.” 
BLITZER: “Who gave that you estimate?”
BLACKBURN: “People that were there that were watching the crowd and watching people come in, and I wasn’t outside until after the whole event was over.” 
BLITZER: “All right. So, let’s move on.”
