Yarmuth: Anecdote from Ryan about car accident a 'poor choice'

10/12/2012 04:00 AM

DANVILLE — U.S. Rep. John Yarmuth, D-Louisville, said the most bizarre moment in Thursday’s debate was Republican Paul Ryan choosing to use an anecdote about Mitt Romney helping with health care costs for a family that was in a car accident.

Vice President Joe Biden’s first wife and daughter died in a car accident in 1972.

Yarmuth also said the exchange between Ryan and Biden over Syria showed Ryan’s inexperience on foreign policy.

    We need a vote on Kentucky’s biggest media whore..Rand Paul or John Yarmuth. And, what foreign policy experience did Senator Obama have before becoming President? Was what we did in bombing Libya even legal, Mr. Yarmuth?

    Paul by a mile Cat Balz. Yarmuth doesn’t even have a wild dream about running for President.
