Crapo: Rammell Comments In "Poor Taste"

Idaho Falls - Idaho Senator Mike Crapo today released the following statement concerning recent remarks by gubernatorial candidate Rex Rammell of Idaho:

"Rex Rammell's comments are in very poor taste and should not have been said. Remarks like these should not even be made jokingly. We are engaged in a critical national debate over many major issues facing our country today. Remarks like these are not only unhelpful in that debate, but they undermine it. He should apologize for those remarks and for the perception they may have created."
