A Democratic Member of Congress Just Labeled Tea Party Republicans as ‘Domestic Enemies’

Do you cerebrally challenged liberals know who the REAL domestic terrorists are? It’s YOU! You are a threat to America and American Patriots. We vote against raising the debt limit because of idiots like you and Obama who have an addiction to spending. I don’t get to shop till my hearts content. No one raises my spending limit because I am ready to default on my bills. Why should you be allowed that luxury on the backs of Americans? You, sir, and those like you are MY enemy and as such shall you now be treated!

The Blaze:

Rep. Steve Cohen (D-Tenn.) branded Tea Party members of Congress as “domestic enemies” during an appearance on MSNBC Saturday morning.

“Really, you got to think — we take an oath to support the country against all enemies, foreign and domestic,” Cohen said. “These are the domestic enemies.”

The comments were aimed at Tea Party members of Congress who voted against the debt deal that raised the U.S.’ borrowing limit and reopened government.

“They think they are somehow umm… like… it was all talked in military terms. They think they are some kind of guerrillas there to strike a blow for freedom,” he said.

“I think they may try to pull this off again,” he added.

Cohen credited Nancy Pelosi and a handful of “reasonable Republicans” for doing the right thing and voting for legislation that raised the debt ceiling and reopened government.
