Hoyer Ambushed

In upstate New York today, the guy who organized the local Tea Party protest in Rome, New York ambushed Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-MD) and started screaming that Hoyer was a liar. (It’s becoming like a sort of right-wing performance art.)

“You’re lying to me. Just because I don’t have sophisticated language, I can recognize a liar when I see one.”

As an example of screamer Don Jeror’s populism, he was screaming about corporate taxes, which he claimed had been raised even though they haven’t.
