NOT THE ONION: GOP Lawmaker Invokes Tortillas To Scramble Away From Jan. 6 Discussion

[634-5789]

Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.) gave a “corny” take on what Americans are discussing instead of the Jan. 6 hearings.

Biggs, who the Jan. 6 committee identified as one of a number of Republicans who sought a presidential pardon following the attack, argued the hearings were a distraction from manufacturers shrinking package sizes to deal with inflation.

The congressman pointed to one item in particular that Americans are talking about: tortillas.

“They don’t want you talking about, ‘Hey, the size of that pack of tortillas that I just bought last week before it came out, it used to look like the regular corn tortillas, now they look like mini tortillas,’” Biggs said on the same floor where U.S. Capitol Police officers drew guns at a mob on Jan. 6, 2021.

6. Not only that but...

Food companies have been fucking around with how much of whatever is in a container for a long time. All of which is irrelevant to sedition.

7. Shows how often he eats them.

Biggs and Gosar are two cancers I hope the Arizona voters remove this fall but I'm not holding my breath. Biggs has won twice with about 60% of the vote and Gosar is about 70%.

4. An attempt to subvert the results and overturn an election...

...DOES matter to Americans.

Pass the distraction please. Oh, tortilla deflation! Yum!

If your really lucky you’ll get to serve your time at the Federal correction institute in Phoenix where I’m told they have full size ones on Tortilla Tuesday’s.
