Rep. Joe Walsh Spars with CNN Host

Rep. Joe Walsh had a heated debate with CNN’s Ashleigh Banfield on Thursday, after the host criticized him for accusing his Democratic opponent of talking about her military service too much. Walsh’s challenger Tammy Duckworth lost both of her legs and the partial use of one arm while serving in Iraq, and Walsh has come under fire recently for his criticism of the candidate. Walsh told Banfield, “I don’t regret anything I said.” But the CNN host said, “It is not respectful for you to say, ‘Now I’m running against a woman who, my God, that’s all she talks about … She comes from a military family, she did lose both of her legs fighting in Iraq.”
