Scott Brown was asked about the man in Austin crashing his plane into an IRS building and said
"And I don't know if it's related, but I can just sense not only in my election, but since being here in Washington, people are frustrated. They want transparency, they want their elected officials to be accountable and open and talk about the things that are affecting their daily lives. So I'm not sure that there's a connection, I certainly hope not. But we need to do things better."
Oh really Scott? So its defensible to crash a plane into a building because people are frustrated with their elected officials?
When asked about whether people blaming incidents like this are going to lead people to say "that's where populist rage gets you" (to which Neil Cavuto says that is extreme to say)......with pictures of the flaming building being shown contemporaneously, Brown says yeah, it is extreme to say populist rage gets people crashing into IRS buildings!
He goes on to say "no one likes paying taxes obviously"
Pretty sad to use this incident literally hours after it happens (and it was still unclear if anyone innocent had died) as a jumping off point to spout campaign-style crap about how people are frustraed with Washington and don't like paying taxes and there is a logjam in Washington and yada, yada, yada.
Just idiotic, Scott Brown. You're in office two weeks and you commit an idiotic faux pas in which you rationalize attempted mass murder of innocents and insensitively justify terrorism only so you could advance your own ridiculous self-aggrandizing agenda and crap, including your stupid truck nonsense.
The campaign is over. Try to be a grown up, please? Are you capable? Based on this performance, personally I don't think so. Pathetic.
