Campfield vs. Cohen on pork

Posted By katie allison granju

Rep. Stacey Campfield is taking Congressman Steve Cohen to task for calling himself “the pig slayer” in reference to Cohen’s stated opposition to a GOP plan to allow excess lottery funds to be used to rebuild school facilities:

“I was the pig slayer,” Cohen said (in the News Snetinel). “Now they all want to be the butcher who hands out the pork.”

Campfield replies:

I think Cohen is confused as to what part he played in the “pigs life” I agree he may be “the father” of the pig but when you father a pig under the understanding that it may one day be cut up and eaten don’t complain to the farmer as he sharpens the knife.
