Rep. Allen West (R-Fla.) had a strong message Saturday for President Barack Obama, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz: "Get the hell out."
West made the comments during a speech at a Palm Beach County GOP event in West Palm Beach.
"This is a battlefield that we must stand upon. And we need to let President Obama, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi and my dear friend, chairman of the Democrat National Committee, we need to let them know that Florida ain't on the table," West said.
The audience was booing by the time West got to Pelosi's name.
"Take your message of equality of achievement, take your message of economic dependency, take your message of enslaving the entrepreneurial will and spirit of the American people somewhere else," he continued. "You can take it to Europe, you can take it to the bottom of the sea, you can take it to the North Pole, but get the hell out of the United States of America."
As the audience cheered and many rose to their feet, West added, "Yeah I said 'hell.'"
"This is not about 1 percent or 99 percent. This is about 100 percent. It's about 100 percent America. And I will not stand back and watch anyone defame, degrade or destroy that which my father fought for, my older brother, my father-in-law, myself, my nephew and all my friend still in uniform," he said.
"I will not allow President Obama to take the United States of America and destroy it. If that means I'm the No. 1 target for the Democrat Party, all I got to say is one thing: Bring it on, baby."
