Stupak Denies Family Ties

By Ed Brayton

The Family, the secretive Christian group that has gotten so much attention lately, is not all Republicans. There are a few Democrats involved as well, including Rep. Bart Stupak of Michigan, who lives at the now-infamous C street house. I had the chance to do a press teleconference with the congressman on Thursday morning and asked him some questions about his involvement with the group and wrote about it at the Michigan Messenger.

He denied completely any involvement at all with The Family, saying he didn't know what I was talking about at all and he just rents a room there. On the call, he was clearly caught off guard by the questions and seemed to be rather flustered in trying to answer. He kept repeating "I rent a room there" as he fumbled around for a coherent response.
