“When you’re put into a place of power and you fail at that, I don’t think you should get a promotion.”
MO Sen. Chuck Purgason joins We the People Host Ron Meyer for an exclusive interview about his run for the US Senate. Sen. Purgason — viewed by many as the Tea Party candidate — is taking on the GOP’s establishment’s pick, Rep. Roy Blunt, in the Republican primary.
WTP asks him why he is taking on one of Missouri’s biggest political names and discusses his plans to change Washington. Purgason believes that we ought to return to a Constitutional government and believes “Bailout Blunt” is not the man for the job.
