Fmr. Rep. Charlie Dent: ‘It’s Important, I Think, That Elected Officials Push Back’ Against Disparaging Political Rhetoric

RUSH EXCERPT:

DENT: "Well, it’s important, I think, that elected officials push back. You mentioned John McCain. I remember in 2016, I was at a debate with my opponent. There were a lot of tea party there, and somebody made some very disparaging comment about John McCain, really offensive. And I said, hey, man, you know, you know, this guy’s a war hero. I mean, he’s a great American. I mean, how can you say something like that? And people were actually kind of applauding what she said, and they all calmed down. But once I pushed back on her in the audience publicly and it was on it was on television."
