This past week, the liberal website ThinkProgress.com released two clips of US Congressman James Lankford answering questions at an Oklahoma City Town Hall. Warning, the clips show graphic imagery of stupidity and ignorance.
In the first video, Lankford fielded a question about "the guns" and "psychiatric drugs." Somehow, he found a way to give a response that blames gun violence on evil "welfare moms"who put their kids on psychiatric drugs with the goal of defrauding the government. The video is worth watching not just for Lankford's ridiculous response, but to also get a chuckle at the Derplahoman who asked the question. She looks and speaks like the type of person who stays up late each night wearing a tin foil hat and looking out her window for black helicopters and the thought police. That is, of course, when she's not listening to gospel hymns or Coast to Coast AM.
Normally we would dedicate an entire post to Lankford's bizarre answer to that question, but his gun comment was quickly overshadowed by an exchange with his friend and fellow conservative theocratic nut Sally Kern. Here's the video and transcript via Think Progress:
