(CNSNews.com) - Rep. Paul Broun (R-Ga.) is standing by a tweet he made during President Obama’s State of the Union Address, saying, “ Mr. President, you don’t believe in the Constitution. You believe in socialism.” In reiterating that belief, Broun unapologetically said this week that Obama "has a philosophy of a socialistic agenda and that’s what he’s promoted ever since he’s been in office."

When asked about the tweet by CBS News, Broun said he sticks by it.

“Absolutely, everything he does is bigger government, more central control from Washington D.C. That’s not what our Founding Fathers envisioned the government to be. I believe in the original intent of the Constitution which means that the federal government should just be doing basically the 18 things in Article I, section 8, very little else,” Broun added.

“Mr. Obama believes in a big, central government where the federal government controls everything in our lives, that’s socialism and so I stick by that tweet, ” Broun said.

When asked about what specifically in the State of the Union address expressed socialism, Broun responded, “Everything he does. He wants the federal government to take over the health care system. He doesn’t want us to repeal it obviously; it’s his flagship type of policy that he’s pushed through against the will of the American people and it’s geared towards becoming a socialized medicine program.”

Broun continued, "Everything that I have seen from this president, he has a philosophy of a socialistic agenda and that’s what he’s promoted ever since he’s been in office.”
