Pence Joins Forces With Bachmann, Tea Party Caucus

Rep. Mike Pence (R-Ind.) told reporters Monday that he intends to join forces with Rep. Michele Bachmann’s (R-Minn.) newly created Tea Party Caucus.

The Republican Conference Chairman only had two words to say when asked if he would join, “You Betchya!”

Pence said being a part of a caucus allows for that he hopes the Tea Party Caucus will shed light on what he has seen the American people want in Indiana and across the country.

Pence went on to blast the financial regulatory reform bill that is currently awaiting President Barack Obama’s signature. 

“This bill is nothing more than a permanent Wall Street bailout,” he said.

He continued to attack the Obama administration’s agenda by blasting the proposed extension for unemployment benefits that will be voted on by the Senate Tuesday, saying he expects legislation to return to the House.

“House Republicans believe that we can’t tax, spend or regulate ourselves back to prosperity,” Pence said.
