U.S. Representative Parker Griffith switched parties on Tuesday and became a Republican, a move that underscored challenges his former Democratic colleagues face in next year's election.
"I can no longer align myself with a party that continues to pursue legislation that is bad for our country," Griffith said in announcing his defection in his Alabama district.
Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell pointed out that Griffith, unlike most party switchers over the years, went from the majority to minority party in Congress.
"That's growing evidence of the unacceptability of this national Democratic agenda in much of red state (conservative) America," McConnell said.
HMMMMM!
