Cavuto’s Election Eve Effort Against The Wisconsin Recall: Democrats “Look Like Babies”

Posted by Brian -4pc on June 06, 2012 · Flag

Neil Cavuto talked to State Senator Jon Erpenbach, a Democrat, yesterday, on the eve of the recall election for yet another Fox News effort on behalf of Republican efforts. After asking why Senate Democrats “bolted” the chamber during the last legislative session, Cavuto scolded Erpenbach. "The impression I got with the timing, you and I were chatting about this, first on the phone… You looked like babies. We didn't get our way, so you stormed out."

Erpenbach said, "We just wanted to have our say. We wanted to talk to the Governor, we wanted to talk to the Republicans."

Cavuto answered,  "Yeah but when you go out of the state, it troubles me."

Erpenbach said, "We didn't have a choice. The only reason why we left the state was they were gonna slam the vote through immediately. That’s not how we do things here." He said the only way to send a message was to "take a step back."

"It seems like you don't get your way, you leave the state, you have a recall, you recall this person, you recall this Senator, you recall this Governor. There are regular scheduled elections for this. Why do you keep doing things this way?" "fair and balanced" Cavuto asked.

Jon Erpenbach did not back down. He said, "None of this had to happen. Public employees within a day gave the Governor every penny he wanted to balance the budget. That wasn’t good enough. He wanted to go after the collective bargaining language and that’s when things fell apart."

Cavuto did offer up some props. "I gave you credit then, as I do now. You're one of the few who come out and talk about this. You find out we don't bite and tear you apart."

No, not bite – just denigrate.

That’s a good question, Kneel.

I’m gonna keep that in mind and ask the same thing, the next time your fellow rightwingnuts advocate impeaching President Obama for such things as signing legislation passed by Congress {AHCA, ARRA}, or using Air Force One . . .
