It was a tense exchange on the Sunday morning "Flashpoint" program on WDIV TV between Michigan Congresswoman Carolyn Cheeks-Kilpatrick and the two candidates trying to unseat her. 

Cheeks Kilpatrick was joined by Former State Representative Mary Waters and State Senator Martha Scott on the program moderated by Devin Scillian.  Waters upbraided Kilpatrick for "injecting herself" into the scandal surrounding her son, Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick. 

"She stood up and said 'no matter what my son is doing to this entire region, which destroys this entire region, you all continue to elect him."  Waters said.  She continued to Congresswoman Cheeks-Kilpatrick, "You're his momma, I understand all of that, but the people in the 13th congressional district are truly concerned about your public persona."

Cheeks-Kilpatrick fired back:  "I love my son.  The judicial process will take hold of what happens.  I believe he'll be fine."  Cheeks-Kilpatrick said  that she's running on a "30-year proven record of doing wonderful things for 700-thousand people."

As the program drew to a close, Waters attacked Cheeks-Kilpatrick, while Scillian was trying to intervene, saying to Cheeks-Kilpatrick,  "You haven't done anything.  You haven't."

Cheeks-Kilpatrick fired back, "Girl, please.  You can't carry my bra!"
