Tim Huelskamp hits Obama, Maddow

by Naph on March 31, 2014

Rep. Tim Huelskamp went off on the president on Twitter during the State of the Union address, then defended the tweets in a heated interview where he called MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow a “cheerleader.”

The Kansas Republican spent much of the State of the Union address, tweeting insults about President Barack Obama — more than a dozen during the speech — accusing him of using “crony capitalism” and making “dictates from a King.”

Toward the end of the speech, he criticized the president for politicizing the military, tweeting, “Was there a diplomat in Benghazi that gave his life for his country Mr. President? #SOTU #LiesYouTell”
