CNN Badgers Congressman to Tear Up No-Tax-Hike Pledge | Media Research Center: CNN's Christine Romans and Soledad O'Brien teamed up on Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) on Tuesday's Starting Point, pressuring him to renege on his pledge not to raise tax rates. In contrast, O'Brien later tossed DNC chair Rep. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz (D-Fla.) a giant softball asking the congresswoman if she saw herself "as a bridge-builder in Congress" in contrast to Chaffetz.
"So would you be fine doing a compromise where you would go against your signature on that pledge?" O'Brien pressed Chaffetz over Grover Norquist's pledge not to hike tax rates and not to increase tax revenues without enacting equal tax rate cuts. She asked him if he would "say this to the pledge" while tearing up a piece of paper.
