WASHINGTON (AP) — Veteran Alaska Rep. Don Young has apologized after he lashed out at a freshman lawmaker during a House floor debate, saying she “doesn’t know a damn thing what she’s talking about.”
Young, 84, a Republican in his 23rd term as Alaska’s sole House member, was offering an amendment about wildlife management on national preserves in his state Thursday night when Democratic Rep. Pramila Jayapal of Washington spoke in opposition.
Young, clearly angry, said that Jayapal, a freshman from Seattle, “doesn’t know a damn thing what she’s talking about.” He accused her of parroting talking points from a special interest group and said, “You may not know me, young lady, but I’m deeply disturbed.”
Jayapal, 51, objected and asked that Young’s words be stricken from the record. Young later apologized.
I knew that !
Completely OT to all the soccer haters/lovers

This is completely true, just not in the way this young man intended.
If you Google “vile human being” a picture of Satan’s spawn Don immediately pops up. He is another candidate for “Alaskan pol who deserves to ride in as many small planes as possible in impenetrably dense fog with insufficient fuel and defective anti-icing systems.”
This Don Young, the certifiable octogenarian Alaska asshole.

And yet, he’s served over 20 terms. Stupid congressmen are elected by stupid voters.
