Rep. Alan Grayson’s (D-FL) office is making clear that when he referred to a female lobbyist a “K Street whore” during a radio interview, he was only referring to her professional career, not her personal life.
CBS News reports that Grayson spokesman Todd Jurkowski told them:
“Let’s be clear about the context,” he said. “The attack was on her professional career, not her personal life.”
“She attacked the Congressman and his efforts to promote a Republican bill to audit the Federal Reserve,” Jurkowski said. “She actually questioned his understanding of the difference between fiscal and monetary policy. She had the audacity to attack a Congressman who used to be an economist. She’s a career lobbyist who used to work for Enron and advocates for whatever she gets paid to promote.”
