Nevada Republican Sharron Angle came to her own defense on Wednesday
in response[/img] to criticism of her use of inflammatory language that made headlines and raised eyebrows during her unsuccessful campaign to unseat Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid during the midterm election season.
Angle and her questionable choice of words -- such as floating [url=http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/06/16/sharron-angle-floated-2nd_n_614003.html]"Second Amendment remedies" as a possible solution to use "when our government becomes tyrannical" -- landed back in the spotlight following the
tragic shooting in Tucson, Ariz. last Saturday in which numerous victims were wounded or had their lives taken.
CNN reports that Angle released a statement on Wednesday condemning "all acts of violence," but dismissing criticism of her choice of words as dangerous.
"I condemn all acts of violence," said Angle. "The despicable act in Tucson is a horrifying and senseless tragedy, and should be condemned as a single act of violence, by a single unstable individual."
The conservative favorite went on to defend herself, as well as Sarah Palin and the Tea Party movement in response to recent criticism.
