CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — The North Carolina Republican Party chairman says GOP state Sen. Bob Rucho should apologize for a Twitter comment in which he compared the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) with Nazis and terrorists.
Chairman Claude Pope in a statement Monday called Rucho's tweet "highly offensive."
Rucho tweeted, "Justice Robert's pen & Obamacare has done more damage to the USA then the swords of the Nazis, Soviets & terrorists combined."
Rucho says he has no need to respond to Pope, and that what he stands on is the truth.
