Sen. Jim DeMint (R-SC) said on Fox News today that Ben Nelson will be “an American hero if he stands up and says no” to health care reform.
DeMint insisted that Republicans “have not been in the way so far, we haven’t held up anything. They are on their own. It’s the Democrats against the American people. Republicans are pretty much on the sidelines and have been.”
He also said that “Ben Nelson will be an American hero, if he stands up and says no to this. The type of intimidation and pressure he’s under is incredible.”
