| Description | A consultant for embattled Senate candidate Todd Akin today compared Akin's fortitude to that of deadly cult leader David Koresh, while making a point about how Akin has withstood Republican attempts to get him off the Missouri ballot.
"I’ve expressed this to Todd as my client for a while now, I’ve expressed it to him directly,” conservative consultant Kellyanne Conway said today on a radio show with Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council. “The first day or two where it was like the Waco with the David Koresh situation where they’re trying to smoke him out with the SWAT teams and the helicopters and the bad Nancy Sinatra records. Then here comes day two and you realize the guy’s not coming out of the bunker. Listen, Todd has shown his principle to the voters."
Koresh was the leader of the Branch Davidians religious sect, whose standoff with federal agents in 1993 resulted in a fire that killed Koresh and 81 others, including 28 children. |
