The difference of course was that that Alan Grayson was able to form multiple sentences in a clear and cohesive manner rather than an emotional one-word outburst like that of a 6 year old.
The next day after numerous demands for an apology by the Republicans and FOX news Alan Grayson again got on the floor of the House and issued this apology. (The Video is courtsey of Harball and the apology occurs at the end of this 2 minute clip)
I can't tell you how refreshing it is to finally see a Democrat stand up to the Republican propaganda and media echo chamber. This man has my support in his next re-election even though I live nowhere near Florida.
Tell Alan Grayson you support his honesty and willingness to stand up for all Americans in achieving comprehensive health care reform that provides a choice and is affordable for all. ActBlue, the online clearinghouse for Democratic action has already raised over $110,000 for his re-election campaign.
"They're going to come after him," American Progressive Caucus Policy Foundation head Darcy Burner wrote on ActBlue. "Let's show him we have his back for speaking the truth." Donate to Alan Grayson here.
