Tea Party Express hits back at Ben "Cornhusker Kickback" Nelson

Earlier today the Tea Party Express endorsed Republican Jon Bruning, Nebraska's Attorney General, in his effort to unseat Democratic Sen. Ben "Cornhusker Kickback" Nelson in 2012.

That got the attention of Nelson's campaign.

From a Tea Party Express press release:

Tea Party Express Chairman Amy Kremer issued the following response to false allegations being spread by the Nelson campaign:

Shortly after seeing his conservative opponent endorsed by the Tea Party Express, the Nelson camp went into panic mode, and has already started a campaign of lies and deceptions to try and cling to political office. Nelson's campaign has falsely stated that the Tea Party Express wants to cut Medicare, Social Security and deny insurance coverage to children with pre-existing conditions. That is patently false. If Nelson spoke the truth about his role in growing the federal government, the national debt and the excesses of Washington, he would be handily defeated.

Fortunately, the Bruning campaign and Tea Party Express will be sure Nebraskans have the facts so Nelson can be defeated. We would encourage Nelson to rein-in his campaign spokesman and stick to the truth and not lies and distortions of our record.
