Former RNC Co-Chair Says She Knows Nothing About Washington
Republican Rep. Ann Wagner may be a freshman in Congress, but she was a co-chair of the Republican National Committee. For four years.
WASHINGTON — Freshman Rep. Ann Wagner is new to Capitol Hill — and, she claimed Tuesday, new to the ways of Washington.
“I’m a freshman,” Wagner said during a press conference with House Republican leadership Tuesday. “I’m new. I was sworn in just three weeks ago as a member of the 113th Congress.”
“I don’t know how they do things in Washington, DC,” she added.
But beginning in 2001, Wagner served as co-chair to the Republican National Committee for four years. She also served as the ambassador to Luxembourg for four years after that — a position that requires a presidential nomination and Senate confirmation.
Wagner was elected in November to succeed former Missouri Rep. Todd Akin in Congress after he vacated his seat to run for Senate.

gregk12 3 months agoMs. Wagner, your response is unacceptable for a person in your position and experience level. No wonder the GOP screwed the pooch in the last election and lost. We have the blind leading the blind. I sure hope the GOP has the stuff together for the mid-term and presidential elections or we are all evemore screwed than we are now with the Dems controlling Capitol Hill.
