Jim Langevin (D-RI) rebukes Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) over "wheelchair races" comment
Quote from article:
In comments Monday afternoon, Rep. Jason Chaffetz – a Utah Republican who has emerged as one of Romney’s key surrogates – jokingly said he was unsure what lawmakers in the Senate did other than “the Wednesday night bingo and wheelchair races.”
Chaffetz’ comments drew a sharp rebuke from Democratic Rep. Jim Langevin, who is disabled.
“While wheelchairs definitely are fun to race, my friend from Utah may be interested to find out that they also help many Americans, including members of Congress, work, improve their communities and serve their country,” Langevin told Buzzfeed.
