Reality Star-Turned-Republican Politico Draws Crowd At Campus Speech

“You didn’t get Ronald Reagan without Jimmy Carter. Barack Obama is our Jimmy Carter.”

So said Wisconsin Republican U.S. Rep. Sean Duffy to a room packed with College Republicans and Young America’s Foundation members at The George Washington University on Tuesday night.

Duffy gave hope that 2016 will yield a conservative president, just as 1980 did when the country was disappointed with the Carter presidency.

The former MTV reality television star brought these and other words of wisdom to young conservatives and libertarians.

Duffy touted the notion of Republican unity, especially heading into the 2014 midterm elections, in which Republicans are projected to win big.
