The legislative year is new, but a newly elected U.S. Representative has already performed a “full flop.”
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel’s PolitiFact reporters say Rep. Sean Duffy (R-Ashland) reversed his campaign position when he recently voted to repeal health care reform legislation.
On the campaign trail, Duffy said he was in favor of "reforming the reform" or "immediately repealing and replacing" the so-called ObamaCare package.
Duffy said he didn’t like some elements of the plan, but admitted it contained "a lot of good things.”
Even on the day of the vote last week, Duffy said "it (was) unacceptable” that his party leaders would schedule the vote before they had a better plan on the table. But he ultimately voted for it.
