Alcee Hastings calls Texas a 'Crazy State'

During a House Rules Committee hearing on a bill to repeal the Affordable Care Act, Alcee Hastings, the Florida Democrat grew heated in an argument with Texas Republican Michael Burgess over states that chose not to create their own insurance exchanges — the subject of a pending Supreme Court case. “Had governors worked with the administration, we might not be in this position,” Hastings said. “I don’t know about in your state, which I think is a crazy state to begin with — and I mean that just as I said it.” Before approving a closed rule for the repeal bill, scheduled to be considered on the House floor Tuesday, Burgess asked for an apology. “You will wait until hell freezes over”, Hastings responded.

2. Chairman you're a fucking idiot. I'm glad shot was said the way it was said. This bill is fucking with people's lives. why would representatives who care about the American people sit back and let the American people get fucked over these Republican bastards that only care about themselves and how much money they are getting paid to protect the 1% population that funds their campaigns. I'm glad we have representative still giving a damn about their country and the hard working citizens that deserve a government that has their interests at hand.

I would have said the same shit..lol...did you not here him say..and I paraphrase of course...'with all the shit going on in this country, this is the 58th time you've bought up this bullshit that we all know is not going to pass'? Do you expect Obama to kill his own Law? I would have wanted too smack them too. Instead of working to make it better....they just behaved like fucking idiots.

You can take the ignorant, abrasive thug out of the ghetto(and put him in Congress)but you just can't get the Ghetto out of the thugs..........Embarrassing.Keep in mind, the same Democrats cheering this ignorant prick are the same Democrats saying Trump is too confrontational and that "makes his temperament incompatible with Office"..... Full of shit hypocrites.
