Rep. Dave Brat (R-VA) met with members of an addiction support group at a county jail and when an inmate expressed concerns about the challenges she’d face upon release, the congressman responded that he has it even worse, Think Progress reports.
Said Brat: “You think you’re having a hard time. I’ve got $5 million of negative ads against me. How do you think I’m feeling?”
He added: “Nothing’s easy for anyone. You think I’m a congressman. Oh life’s easy, this guy’s off having steaks… No one out there’s got some easy life.”
