Sen. Tammy Baldwin [D] takes down political video that appears to have violated Senate ethics rule

Watchdog: MADISON, Wis. – U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin, without comment, has removed video of her interrogating President Donald Trump nominee Tom Price during a Senate committee confirmation hearing earlier this month after Wisconsin Watchdog reported that Baldwin appears to have violated Senate ethics rules.

The Madison Democrat pulled the 1 minute, 27-second video clip Tuesday, a day after the story broke. Several videos of Baldwin peppering the Health and Human Services secretary nominee with questions, however, remain on Baldwin’s Twitter account.

Baldwin’s office has not returned several calls seeking comment. A spokesman for the Senate Rules Committee, too, has failed to answer Wisconsin Watchdog’s questions regarding the senator’s use of Senate video.

Baldwin’s handlers on Jan. 19 posted the video clip of the senator grilling Price about his position on Medicaid prescription drug price negotiations during the Jan. 18 Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee.

A clip on Baldwin’s Facebook site declared, “A ‘yes’ or ‘no’ answer should not be this difficult,” a dig at Price’s answer. The clip suddenly disappeared Tuesday.  MORE
