Congressman Blake Farenthold Won't Say President Obama Was Legitimately Elected

[TexasTowelie]

In a moment to make his district proud, Congressman Blake Farenthold went on Hardball this past Friday and refused to admit that President Obama was legitimately elected President. The congressman originally went on the program to discuss Senator Ted Cruz and the backlash the Senator has received within his own party on his methods to attempt to defund Obamacare (the Senate has a rule book, somewhere).

Congressman Farenthold told Chris Matthews, "[if] Obama's President, Ted Cruz can be President."

This raised a few eyebrows. Matthews continued to question the congressman asking what he meant by that claim. Apparently the implications were that President Obama was not legitimately elected because the President was born in Kenya, and not Hawaii, like some conspiracy theorists believe.

Farenthold also mentioned that he was not in the office when Congress reported the electoral votes, so it was not "up to him" to decide the President's legitimacy at the time he was elected.

5. He is related to Sissy Farenthold who was Democratic candidate for governor

Blake beat out a very good Texas congressman by dumping $300,000 in advertising the last week of the campaign. The Democratic candidate did not have time to respond. After that narrow win, the GOP redistricted the district so that it is difficult for a Democrat to run.

4. Texas must be so proud of their Congressional delegation. Total IQ must be

something like 200.

6. That only the R's. And I'm not sure it's that high.

I'm willing to bet Louie Gohmert's in the negative numbers.

7. Meet my Congressman

He, along with his meth-head sister, could be the poster children for the dangers of inherited wealth. Neither one of them ever did an honest day's work in their lives.

8. I didn't know this guy was real.

I truly thought he was doing something like the Colbert Report.

That he's real is very disturbing to all normal people.

made flesh, and that is really terrifying.
