I have no idea how Democratic Sen. Kay Hagan's news conference could've been worse except had she lit a baby bunny on fire while stomping on the American flag.
The junior Senator from North Carolina filed for re-election yesterday in Wake County. The media was all there, as her campaign obviusly alerted them to the event. This is pretty standard. It makes for good video to have the pol surrounded by friends, family, and supporters as they sign the paperwork and everyone cheers.
But it seemed to escape Hagan and her camp that after she signs the papers she'd need to actually talk to the media.
About her record.
And that's where the wheels fell off this thing.
... Hagan ... refused on Monday to answer questions about what she knew about the laws limits.
Like President Barack Obama, Hagan said the Affordable Care Act would allow North Carolinians to keep their existing insurance plans if they liked them. The pledge proved false – and earned Obama PolitiFact’s Lie of the Year honors.
But the details about what Hagan knew about the law’s limits and when she learned it remains unclear. Asked about it again Monday at a press conference in Raleigh, after she made her re-election bid official at the State Board of Elections, Hagan avoided the question.
Pressed on the question two more times as reporters followed her outside to the parking lot, Hagan did not answer. She offered this explanation without further details: “it wasn’t clear that insurance companies were selling substandard policies.”

Followed her into the parking lot? This is bad video for the rest of the campaign season.

LOLOLOL!!
Rip it out by the roots.
stooopid cow...
Well, she is a democrat - so to some of her base, that might have been a resume enhancer.
Jeebus! What a bonehead.
If they were, why were people happy with them. How stupid does Congress think we are?
Hagan to voters: If you believed my lie, you’re an idiot!
Mayonnaise Wrestling? The mayonnaise will win... :-)
:)
No matter what, the Progressive base, along with many, many members who are not living, will turn out in droves for her.
IMHO
Exactly, we must free her from JOB-LOCK! The libs have assured us that it is terrible to have to have a job.
Just depends on what your definition of "we" is hattend!
What's clearly substandard here is Kay Hagan and many, many other politicians.
How dumb is Kay Hagan? So dumb she makes Beverly Perdue look smart!
Yes, I know.
My point was that the claim that the "if you like your plan you can keep it" line was not really a massive bald-faced lie because they didn't realize that the insurance plans - that hundreds of thousands of North Carolinians had been happy with for years - were "substandard" is identical to a claim that those same North Carolinians were too stupid to realize that they were satisfied with something that was "substandard."
That's adding insult to injury, because she voted for the law that redefined satisfactory policies as "substandard" in the first place. A second lie, layered upon the first, and compounded with a gross insult to the intelligence every North Carolina voter who had provided their own insurance.
Maybe Hagan should have fellated an Obama blow-up doll to show her Democrat loyalty to Obama?
Sen. Kay Hagan (D-NC) repeatedly promised on at least 24 separate occasions that North Carolina citizens would be able to keep their existing affordable health care plans — once Obamacare went into effect (five years after Obama set it in motion).
However, Hagan dodged the question as she announced her re-election. One reporter asks, “Much has been made about 'if you like you health care plan you can keep it,' but we’re still not sure about when exactly you learned that wasn’t the case?"
The reporter gets specific: "....you were on a lot of committees that helped write the healthcare bill. Was there a specific time frame — a day, a month, a week — that you can narrow it, to when you learned that 'Keeping It' wasn’t going to be the case?”
Hagan ignores the reporter's pointed question, then talks about a bill she is sponsoring that will allow people to keep their plans.....she was again pressed in the parking lot but walked away without answering the question.
NOTE: Hagan's vote caused 500,000 North Carolinians canceled on a population of almost 10 million. Only about 100,000 signed up for ACA (as self-serving Obama admin fudges the numbers). So NC ended up w/ roughly 400k additional uninsured....thanks to Kay Hagan.
