Lamar Alexander Dismisses Tea Party Protesters: 'I Didn't Hear Anything They Said'

The Huffington Post, By Chris Gentilviso,07/25/2013 - One month removed from his decision to vote for immigration reform, Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.) does not appear to be fazed by his Tea Party critics. In an interview with Politico posted Thursday, Alexander dismissed protesters who invaded his fundraiser last weekend, sporting "you betrayed us" signs over the immigration decision.

“I didn’t hear anything they said," Alexander told Politico. “They were a mile away. They were enjoying their First Amendment rights, and I was enjoying playing 'Johnny B. Goode' with Mike Huckabee.”  (link)
