On FOX News’ “On the Record” with Greta Van Susteren, Senator Alexander discussed HHS Secretary Sebelius’s fundraising to implement the president’s healthcare law as part of a “pattern we’ve been seeing” in the Obama administration and an “unpleasant echo” of the past. Alexander said, “This sounds like the way Iran-Contra started. Benghazi sounds like the way Watergate started. The excessive looking for leaks among up to 100 A.P. employees sounds like the way the ‘White House plumbers’ started. The IRS sounds like the ‘enemies list’ back in the Nixon administration. All of these are very unpleasant echoes, and an administration ought to not want that to happen.”
