Related: About this forumWatch David Gregory suggest politicians flawed for listening to constituents' will (VIDEO)
David Gregory continues to show he lives in another world. He shows that he is nothing but a shrill for the powerful.
I had calls nine against to one for, when this whole Syrian crisis came up, said Rep Keith Ellison. The President, I think was trying to stop Assad because he would not stop until he is stopped yet my constituents, I guarantee you, were not in favor of us doing anything in Syria.
After another panelist suggested it was not only about a good policy outcome but the herky-jerky manner to get there. Keith Ellison reminded her that the political environment was in fact herky-jerky. David Gregory then had to chime in. His chime showed what he really thinks about the power structure of this country.
Congressman, you are not suggesting that the kind of calls you get influence your leadership, David Gregory asked.Right? I mean you have to make decisions about whats best Keith Ellison interrupted that rather dictatorial statement. This is a democracy, Keith Ellison responded. You have to listen to what your constituents want.
