Pierson calls Sessions “shifty” on Obamacare

WASHINGTON – The tea party group FreedomWorks showcased Katrina Pierson on Monday along with other challengers for House and Senate seats around the country.

Matt Kibbe, president of FreedomWorks PAC, called her “one of the best activists in Texas who has been working overtime trying to help Pete Sessions find his way back home.”

{Rep. Pete} Sessions, R-Dallas, a member of the House GOP leadership, is seeking a 10th two-year term. He has raised $1.3 million compared to Pierson’s $76,000. Neither she nor FreedomWorks officials would specify the support—funding or volunteers —the group and its affiliates is providing to her. Time is running low, with the primary looming in 22 days.

Pierson expressed frustration that Sessions has kept a low profile, avoiding joint appearances (other than a joint meeting with this newspaper’s editorial board last month).

What has good old boy Sessions done (or failed to do) to the Koch Brothers to incur their wrath in the form of a Freedom Works sponsored sweet young tea partying woman? Just thinking about it makes my eyes water.
