Rep. Don Young (R-AK) offered a way to solve homelessness in his colleagues’ congressional districts: wolves.
Young, speaking at a hearing of the House Natural Resources Committee on Thursday, made the comments while he was arguing that gray wolves should be taken off the endangered species list.
“How many of you have got wolves in your district? None. None. Not one,” Young said. He called the gray wolf a “predator.”
“We’ve got 79 congressmen sending you a letter, they haven’t got a damn wolf in their whole district,” Young said. “I’d like to introduce them in your district. If I introduced them in your district, you wouldn’t have a homeless problem anymore.”
According to The Washington Post, a Young spokesman said that his comments were only meant to support his argument that gray wolves are predators that “pose serious threats to wildlife management and their listing has damaging impacts to local communities.”

Idiot. Fracking isn’t done where I live but I still think it should be stopped. Typical small minded Republican.
HOmeLEssNessm, LiKE gay, IS A CHOice and BOTH should BE hunted dowN By WoLVes. EverYWHERe!1!1!one!!11!!!
This is not humorous regardless of how the congressman tries to spin or explain it. If you are elected (and collect a paycheck) to represent people (which would include homeless people), this should cause him to lose his job.
“How many of you have got wolves in your district?”
Raise your hand if you’re a Republican member of Congress: that’s how many wolves there are.
Republicans hate the people
