I couldn’t either.
Looked some more myself. No backup. Seems like embellishment for click views.

Any day now I expect a ban on black people riding in the front part of the bus. And using public water fountains. And using swimming pools even when it’s a pool at the complex where they live.
So, you think they’ll ignore the public health hazard of gay cooties?
Arizona Republican legislator brags to cop he drives up to 140 miles an hour, claims legislative immunity :
According to the deputy’s report, Mosley was swerving in and out of traffic passing vehicles on State Route 95 north of Resort Drive. Radar indicated that the vehicle’s speed was 97 mph in a 55 mph zone.
When he pulled Mosley over, the deputy said that he saw Mosley waving something out the driver’s side window. When the deputy got out of his patrol vehicle and made contact with Mosley on the passenger side, he said it turned out that Mosley had been showing him a placard which indicated that he was an elected state representative, and reportedly told the deputy that he shouldn’t waste his time processing a citation because he has legislative immunity.
“I explained the reason for the stop to Mosley and asked if there was any reason he was traveling so fast,” the deputy said in his written report. “I informed Mosley that 97 mph in a 55 mph zone is considered criminal speed. Mosley stated he was just in a hurry to get home to surprise his family in Lake Havasu City, Arizona. Mosley also told me that I should just let him go and that I shouldn’t waste anymore of my time dealing with him due to his immunity as a government official.”
Mosley was released with a warning.
Hey, it worked.
Congressman Paul Gosar says he can tell that Peter Strzok is biased because "I am a dentist, OK, so I read body language very, very well. "

Louis Gohmert said the same thing but he had to feel the bumps on Strzok’s head.
Here is everything you need to know about Paul Gosar (R-AZ) :
We watched the interview of Paul Gosar on Vice News and believe Paul owes George Soros a personal apology.
This is a matter of right and wrong, not politics. We are aghast that Paul has sunk so low that he now spews the most despicable slander against an 87-year-old man without a shred of proof, and then doesn’t even have the guts or decency to apologize?
Our parents are 87 and 83 and we would be outraged if some sleaze did to them what Paul shamelessly did to Mr. Soros. First, Paul confabulated horrendous lies about Soros as a young boy who survived the Holocaust, and followed it with invented notions that Soros was behind the Charlottesville Nazis. Paul’s deceit was uttered without a shred of evidence.
Those aren’t our family values or the values of the small Wyoming town we grew up in. Character assassination wasn’t revered. Lies and distortions do reveal much about the character of the congressman of Arizona’s 4th congressional district, however.
Paul had no problem going completely out of his way to malign Mr. Soros on Vice, so we can’t imagine anything less than a complete retraction and genuine apology. A press release, inadequate. One of those phony apologies that begins with, “If someone was offended by my statements”….” won’t do either.
It is extremely upsetting to have to call you out on this, Paul, but you’ve forced our hand with your deceit and anti-semitic dog whistle. We look forward to your apology on Vice.
Paul Gosar’s siblings Joan, Dave, Tim, Grace, Gaston, Pete and Jennifer Gosar
AFAIK, no apology was ever issued.
Gohmert really went after Strzok. Did one of Strzok’s emails cast aspersions on his asparagus?
From National Review , about the illogic of Never-Trumpers in the Republican Party leaving the party and voting for Democrats:
A salient question.

At the moment, the federal government and a lot of the state governments *are *being run by a party (the GOP, if I’m not being clear enough) that “that is ruled by identity politics and intent on promoting racial division and class warfare”.

House Republicans and wanting to impeach Rosenstein. Sponsored by Jordan. Whodathunkit?! That shit-eating-gibbon is so fucking annoying.
Hopefully that party, that cheers on a president who frequently uses denigrating ethnic and racist language, who praised white supremacists at Charlottesville, who died a racist and evidence free conspiracy theory for years, who said that a judge couldn’t do his job because he’s Mexican, and much more, we be out of power soon, and we won’t have to worry about this. The Democrats are far from perfect, but they approach these issues much more realistically and compassionately than the Republicans.

Man, you sure had me hopeful for a moment there.

Yes…I know. That was why I posted the quote in a thread called “Stupid Republican Idea of the Day”.
For my part, my heart stopped beating for a moment, at the thought of President Pence getting a swearing-in ceremony.
Best hope for the nation is a Democratic Party landslide in 2018, followed by the installation of a Democratic Speaker of the House, which brings on a fatal stroke on the part of the America-hating fuckstick, and Pence immediately copying him in an attempt to curry favor…
If you find the doublespeak here hard to follow, it means your brain is working correctly.
Republicans for years have proclaimed the federal government’s decades-old War on Poverty a failure.
“Americans are no better off today than they were before the War on Poverty began in 1964,” House Speaker Paul D. Ryan (R-Wis.) wrote in his 2016 plan to dramatically scale back the federal safety net.
Now the Trump administration is pitching a new message on anti-poverty programs, saying efforts that Republicans had long condemned as ineffective have already worked.
The White House in a report this week declared the War on Poverty “largely over and a success,” arguing that few Americans are truly poor — only about 3percent of the population — and that the booming economy is the best path upward for those who remain in poverty.

Saw a thing that suggested that the Rs are rolling out a shiny new slogan: “Better Off Now”. No substance to the claim that they dropped the “Your” from it.
God, I hope you were joking…
