Controversy
Phil Hare made national headlines when he spoke on camera regarding ObamaCare saying, "I don't worry about the Constitution on this to be honest." Also, he has described himself as a veteran even though he was just a reservist. Hare told Chris Matthews’ MSNBC audience he would welcome terrorists from Guantanamo Bay to Thomson, Ill. [1]
