Pennsylvania 8th Congressional District Debate

That's what he did. Now he's singing a different song. But I tell you, I don't think a leper changes his spots. You know, Rick Scott is a senator from Florida and he said the quiet part out loud for Republicans when he said he thinks all federal legislation ought to be written off the books every five years and then reenacted. What does that mean? That means eliminating Social Security, eliminating Medicare, eliminating all kinds of rights. That's where they're going. We can't let them. Cartwright. Mr. Bognett, a rebuttal. (14:20–14:33)
