Paul Broun’s a birther
Broun says he doesn’t know if Obama’s a U.S. citizen.
I already knew Rep. Paul Broun, R-Athens, is an idiot and an asshole.
Turns out he’s a birther, too.
Here’s Broun with radio host Pete Dominick:
DOMINICK: You think hes an American citizen and a Christian?
BROUN: Im not gonna get involved in that.
DOMINICK: You cant say that hes an American citizen?
BROUN: Well —
DOMINICK: You cant say the presidents an American citizen?
BROUN: I dont know.
Broun’s exchange with Dominick reminds me of an interesting conversation I had with myself 20 minutes ago. It went something like this:
ME: Did Rep. Paul Broun rape and murder a girl in 1990?
ALSO ME: Im not gonna get involved in that.
ME: You can’t say that Paul Broun didn’t rape and kill girl 20 years ago?
ALSO ME: Well —
ME: You can’t say the Congressman from Georgia’s 10th District is a rapist and a murderer?
ALSO ME: I don’t know.
Thank you @beyondtrestle and @jaseliberty for linking to Broun’s vile remarks, and Matthew Yglesias for the audio.
