It starts around minute 4. She's dead serious.

Brooklyn Rep. Yvette Clarke was the laughingstock of Brooklyn — and the nation — Wednesday after offering a preposterous explanation of New York history on “The Colbert Report.”
The pol told Stephen Colbert, in a spot that aired Tuesday night, that slavery persisted in Brooklyn until as late as 1898. In reality, slavery was legally abolished in New York in 1827.
“Some have called Brooklyn’s decision to become part of New York City ‘The Great Mistake of 1898,’ ” Colbert said. “If you could get in a time machine and go back to 1898, what would you say to those Brooklynites?”
“I would say to them, ‘Set me free,’ ” Clarke responded.
Pressed by Colbert to say what she would have been freed from, the black Democrat responded, “Slavery.”
“Slavery. Really? I didn’t realize there was slavery in Brooklyn in 1898,” Colbert followed.
“I’m pretty sure there was,” Clarke continued.
“Who would be enslaving you in 1898 in New York?” the quick-witted comic questioned, never one to let slip a priceless live TV moment.
Clarke responded: “The Dutch.”

Sadly, she's not that unusual. Consider Rep. Pelosi, Rep. Frank, Rep. McKinney, Rep. Waters, and so on and so forth.

But that's the problem. They "got" welfare. EBT cards. Section 8. "Who's your daddy". etc.

Please tell me that that moron did not say he was concerned the island of Guam would "flip over."


Please?


No one can be that stupid. There must be a reason, and from the slow, moronic cadence of his question I am sure it is either the result of powerful drugs or a brain transplant gone Awrlry ....

Guam can tip over, it's happened before, well maybe not with large masses of land but it's occurred with small boats out in the ocean, that's most likely the reference point.. best and brightest?
