I suppose he feels obligated by his love for America. Or perhaps, he's just out to defend the Tea Partay at all costs.

This was pickup up by FOX News, the flames were fanned and the pressure for her resignation mounted.

Considering how much "news" is really made up, out of context or intentionally deceptive and malicious...that this led to the resignation of a Government official is indeed quite a story.
