Sen. Pat Roberts (R-KS) told Sen. Bob Corker (R-TN) that he may be the next victim of the anti-incumbent Tea Party mood sweeping America with the defeat of House Majority Leader Eric Cantor earlier this year, Politico’s Manu Raju reports.
“I might be next,” a “deadly serious” Roberts told Corker on a ride on the underground senate subway, Roberts recounted in an interview with Politico’s Raju in Kansas. “You never know.”
Roberts was referring to how Dave Brat beat Cantor using an anti-incumbency style that Roberts’ current conservative primary opponent, Dr. Milton Wolf, is following. Wolf—President Barack Obama’s second cousin—has emerged as a leader in the Tea Party movement over the past few years, and his fiery style of anti-political class politics has played well into the conservative new media brand of grassroots politician.
Wolf’s story aside, however, Roberts’ situation is eerily similar to other incumbents who’ve been dropping at an abnormally high rate.
“He’s been dogged by questions over his residency ever since a February report in The New York Times that he rents a room in the home of longtime friends and donors when he returns to the state,” Politico’s Raju wrote. “Though Roberts does own half of a duplex in Dodge City that he has rented out for years and previously lived in, the issue is reminiscent of the problems that doomed longtime Indiana Sen. Dick Lugar two years ago.”
Raju asked Roberts about the residency question, at which point he sought to differentiate his situation from Lugar’s.
“Dick Lugar had his farm, for goodness sakes, and thought it was his home; that’s not the same thing,” Roberts said during the interview with his wife in the room. “I own the property there, I pay taxes there, I vote there. He didn’t do that.”

We can only hope, jackass
Milton Wolf is a nut case, a publicity hound, a liar and a fraud.
Yes, Wolf is related to Obama, and the similarities are very obvious now.
Wolf posted X-Rays of gunshot victims on his Facebook account.
Wolf is an idiot.
politicians are like diapers..
they need to be changed often, and for the same reason
This tea party guy will be voting for Roberts
He may be an idiot, but Roberts is trying to pull a Thad Cochran with race baiting, which renders him despicable in my eyes.
Milton R. Wolf is an American physician.
He is a Tea Party movement-aligned activist
who is challenging incumbent Kansas U.S. Senator Pat Roberts
in the 2014 United States Senate election.

Right! Active for about 6 months. Never any activity before that time.
What has Pat Roberts said about Thad Cochran and the Mississippi run-off?
If he has supported Cochran - cut him off, now!
If he has said nothing - you are either against lying and cheating, or you’re abetting it!
If he has come out opposing Cochran’s tactics - re-elect him!
Gonna quote you on this one. (lol)
If the name was NOT on the xray, then there is no violation of privacy laws.
how are you related to Pat Roberts?
I’m voting FOR Wolf.
Has he been solid this year cause he has opposition?
Note that Lamar Alexander says he’s a solid Conservative too. He even runs ads showing him challenging Obama tho he voted to fund obamacare and increase the debt limit.
WHEN did Roberts do any “race baiting”
That is silly
Wolf has never put up a yard sign, walked door to door, or campaigned for ANYONE else his entire life.
Wolf doesn't even vote very often.
Wolf is a fake, Wolf has earned the disrespect of the major 2nd Amendment players in Kansas by trying fake “lifelong” 2nd Amendment support.
Wolf posted mostly party pictures in his home, prior to announcing, then he scrubbed his FB page and has pretended to have deep religious faith that was never before apparent.
Wolf has lied repeatedly about his meeting with Obama, his Cousin. Yes they met, but Wolf never “confronted” Obama.
