Rachel Maddow On Mark Kirk's Pledge To Repeal Health Reform: 'Really, Mark Kirk?' (VIDEO)

Mark Kirk has not said much about his pledge to "lead the effort" to repeal health reform since the media found out about statements he made at a Republican dinner in suburban Winnetka.

However, his opponent and other health reform supporters have taken those words and run with them--and two weeks after his pledge to end health reform, Rep. Kirk has still been silent on the issue publicly.

On Friday, MSNBC's Rachel Maddow addressed Kirk's "repeal" promise, saying: "Really, Mark Kirk? You want to lead the effort to restore the insurance industry's right to deny coverage to kids who have preexisting conditions? ... That's what you're gonna campaign on?"
