Video: Senator Jim DeMint in Human Events Interview – Conservative of the Year

South Carolina GOP Senator Jim DeMint was named Conservative of the Year by Human Events. In an interview by Jason Mattera he said he believes Republicans should “resist” a vote to enlarge the top limit on the nation’s debt.

“We need to have a showdown at this point that we are not going to increase our debt ceiling anymore. We are going to cut [spending] necessary to stay within the current levels, which is over $14 trillion. This needs to be a big showdown.”

Watch the entire interview.

There will be some fireworks in the new GOP controlled House and the Senate when the debt ceiling deadline showdown comes to fruition in the next few months.
