A Montana Democrat announced his bid for Senate Wednesday with a swipe at the tea party, comparing it to “the Taliban,” and likening the government shutdown to the bombing of Pearl Harbor during World War II.
Former Lt. Gov. John Bohlinger announced that he would run for the Senate seat being vacated by Montana Democratic Sen. Max Baucus.
“We need to challenge the tea party representatives who, like the Taliban, shut our country down,” Bohlinger told reporters, the Billings Gazette reported.
According to the paper, he then continued, likening the actions taken by tea partiers leading up to the government shutdown in October “to the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941, and the terrorists’ actions on Sept. 11, 2001.”
