In an interview aired last night on Greta Van Susteren’s show on Fox News, Rep. Bart Stupak (D-MI) said that the top Democratic leadership have not approached him about the health care bill.
“Has the Speaker come to you since I last spoke to you last week,” said Van Susteren “or even Congressman Steny Hoyer, anyone come to you in the top leadership and talked to you, said down and said, you know, What’s your problem?”
Stupak’s answer: “No.”
“Don’t you find that unusual, if they want you and your 11 others?” Van Susteren asked.
Stupak said no, he did not find it usual. When asked why, he said: “Because they disagree me with on the issue, so they’ll wait until the last minute and see if they can run — do an end run, get the votes without us.”
