Minnick communications director John Foster released the following statement while Congressman Minnick was traveling:
"Walt joins other state leaders and Idaho Democrats in strongly condemning Mr. Rammell's statements. At town halls and forums around Idaho over the last month, Walt has on rare occasions heard the kind of terrible rhetoric Mr. Rammell has refused to apologize for.
Each time, Walt has said that we not only need to be respectful of each other, but also respectful of the office of the president. No matter what your party, after election day, we all want our presidents to be successful in leading the country, and that includes President Obama."
