As the deadline for raising the nation’s debt ceiling approaches Wednesday, U.S. Rep. Mike Fitzpatrick (R.,Pa.) was scheduled to attend a fundraising reception in his honor in New Hope.
But the $250-per-person event at the Clairmont Estate was canceled, said Michael J. Mabin, the chairman of Fitzpatrick's reelection campaign.
"Congressman Fitzpatrick will not be there," Mabin said in a statement released Wednesday evening, adding that the hosts maintaned the event to make a surprise wedding announcement. "No donations solicitations for Fitzpatrick for Congress will be made or collected at the now-private event," Mabin said.
Oh yes he did.
Yes, we're quite aware that Congressman Fitzpatrick cancelled the fundraiser as a result of needing to vote on the debt ceiling legislation today to avoid default.
But seriously, what was Congressman Fitzpatrick thinking?
Democratic Candidate running in PA-08, Kevin Strouse, wasted no time in responding:

Kevin Strouse, a Democrat seeking the nomination to oppose Fitzpatrick, had seized on the scheduled event to criticize the incumbent for fundraising during a fiscal crisis.
“This is shameful,” Strouse said in a statement earlier in the day. “Congressman Fitzpatrick needs to focus less on campaigning and get to work to avoid a catastrophe.”
