Rep. Hoekstra (R-MI) gets heckled on Twitter
This is very funny. Hoekstra sent out the following post on Twitter:
Quote:
Iranian twitter activity similar to what we did in House last year when Republicans were shut down in the House.
He is getting heckled like crazy. I think the best responses I've seen so far are:
Quote:
ArjunJaikumar @petehoekstra i spilled some lukewarm coffee on myself just now, which is somewhat analogous to being boiled in oil

netw3rk @petehoekstra Someone walked in on me while I was in the bathroom. Reminded me of Pearl Harbor.

Hoekstra complained that the CIA lied to him regarding the shooting down of a plane in Peru, IIRC, with a couple of his constituents aboard. The plane was suspected of being a drug running plane. It was not.

Then Hoekstra joined in on the food fight over Pelosi's similar allegations on a different issue, giving her heat for having the audacity to imply that the CIA could lie. I mean, cmon, everyone knows that lying is not in the CIA's DNA.

You can't say anything in public these days without getting heckled.

I think he was a little too comfortable with a medium he didn't understand.

I would amend that statement just a tad:

You can't say anything ridiculous in public these days without getting heckled.
