27. So I went to one of the "congress on your corner" events

Wed Aug 29, 2018, 12:12 PM

Aug 2018

by my then congresswoman, Gabby Giffords, in Douglas AZ.

There were a bunch of protesters there from the TEA Party... mostly bused in by somebody or other.

Anyway the TEA party assholes would complain loudly about any of the Hispanic people waiting in line to meet with Ms. Giffords with things like "Go back to Mexico" and "wetbacks" and other slurs. One elderly Hispanic man commented to me that his family had been on the same exact ranch for 7 generations... and it wasn't that he had left Mexico... Mexico left him (The US took the property that his ranch was on in the Gadsden Purchase) in 1854.

The stupid really is strong with these TEA Party idiots.
