“Every time I get an opponent – I mean, every time I get a chance, I’m home”

Kansas Republican Sen. Pat Roberts is struggling to combat criticism from opponents who say he shouldn’t represent a state where he no longer lives permanently.

Roberts, who owns a property in Dodge City that he currently rents out, didn’t help that perception with a verbal slip-up during an interview with KCMO radio. “Every time I get an opponent – I mean, every time I get a chance, I’m home,” Roberts said in the interview. “I don’t measure my record with regards as a senator as how many times I sleep wherever it is.”
