Republicans recently used a clip to rally support taken from the movie ‘The Town’ in which actor Jeremy Renner asks co-star Ben Affleck whose car they are going to take. Florida Congressman Allen West (R) tells Fox and Friends what the segment was about, and why he says he’d “drive the car.”
According to West, the clip was about “getting on board and supporting the speaker, which is why I said I would be willing to drive that car. We can sit around and wait for the 100 percent plan, but as I said in a short speech I [gave] at a GOP conference a few days ago, this is a 70, 75 percent plan that gets us to continue to move the ball forward down the field, and that’s why I’m supporting it.”
“This is not the perfect plan as I said. One of the things that I’m not warmed over about is this joint Congressional committee,” West said. “But I know you can’t come up here expecting that you are going to get your way each and every time. I think John Boehner’s plan is far more superior to Harry Reid’s plan and is far more superior then anything to come out of the Senate, which has not passed a budget in 820 days.”
When asked if the Tea Party should follow his opinion, West says, “Every person, every man or woman has to search their own heart. And in looking at this situation, I searched my own heart and I understood that this still allows me to stay within my principles.”
