A friend brought this TPM post to my attention. Rep Hoekstra’s twit is best read while humming “Poor Poor Pitiful Me.”
Earlier today, Rep. Peter Hoekstra (R-MI) put up this astonishing post on Twitter, likening the oppression of the Iranian people to the plight of House Republicans:
Iranian twitter activity similar to what we did in House last year when Republicans were shut down in the House.
However, it’s the responses that make it:
ArjunJaikumar @petehoekstra i spilled some lukewarm coffee on myself just now, which is somewhat analogous to being boiled in oil
chrisbaskind @petehoekstra My neighbor stopped me to talk today. Now I know what it is like to be questioned by the Basij!
luckbfern @petehoekstra I stand in solidarity with the oppressed rich white men of Repub Party in the House. #GOPfail Allah Akbar!
Follow the link, there’s many, many more.
…now I know what it’s like to be oppressed by one of the mere 300 people who really run the world.
I missed the comment to which you linked. Suggestions of insanity.
Bob IS one of the 300 people.
Now she knows what it’s like to be victimized by a suicide bomber.
