Rep. Steve Kagen (D-WI) is firing back at the disruption of a recent town hall that he held, telling Wisconsin Public Radio that the insurance industry is behind a misinformation campaign that included the right-wingers who stormed his event.

“I couldn’t have organized it better,” said Kagen. “I believe some people are being frightened (with misinformation) … The first casualty of war is truth.”

Kagen said he’s standing by the public option: “You can count on it. I can’t be bought.”
