Republican U.S. Senate nominee Dave McCormick resurfaced on Tuesday an 18-year-old video that features Senator Bob Casey (D-PA) warn longtime politicians who are unable to secure the U.S.-Mexico border should prepare to offer “a lot of explaining” to their constituents.
The McCormick campaign explained the video was recorded in 2006, when Casey was campaigning against former Senator Rick Santorum.
Casey argued, “Anybody in Washington, who goes around and puffs their chest up and says, ‘We’re going to be tough on the borders,’ if they’ve been there for several years or many years, they’ve got a lot of explaining to do.”
The Democrat went on to defeat Santorum in November 2006 with about 59 percent of the vote. He is currently campaigning for a fourth term in office.
