Sen. Patty Murray (D-WA), who chairs the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, on Wednesday called the National Republican Senatorial Committee’s decision to take another look at Rep. Todd Akin “absolutely shameful.” Read the full statement below:

“The statement by national Republicans in support of Todd Akin is absolutely shameful. All Republican candidates across the country are now going to have to answer for their party’s support of Akin.”

“Their decision to support Akin should leave zero doubt in anyone’s mind that the Republican Party and the candidates they support are downright dangerous for women.”

“I expected more, but sadly, Todd Akin represents the official position of the Republican Party. All Republican Senate candidates support a Republican agenda that would pose a serious threat to women and inflict Todd Akin’s extreme views on our country.”
