Sen. Rockefeller Decries Protests At Town Hall Meetings

In response to recent protests against health care reform at town hall meetings, Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D-W.Va.) said the protests are distruptive, but not productive. “The story becomes the disruption, not the message,” he said. “We’re utterly, desperately serious about [health care reform], and we’re trying to interpret it to the people we represent in our states who desperately need it, and we’re precluded from doing so by these types of tactics.” (0:38)
