Few people have heard of Congressman Ted Lieu. He spends most of his time ranting about President Trump like some sort of insane stalker.
The last time he made national news was when he insanely threatened legislative action against a home improvement store for pulling ads from a show he liked. After Lowe's stopped advertising on All-American Muslim, he sent a letter which hung precariously between Stalin and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.
He sent a letter to Lowe's CEO Robert A. Niblock warning that if he didn't get those ads running again there would be hell to pay. "If Lowe's continues its religious bigotry, I will encourage boycotts of Lowe's and look into legislative remedies."
When asked by Fox 11 News last night why he wasn't focusing on the state's major problems... Lieu answered that people could always shop at Home Depot.
Now Lieu is on board with moving from obstructionism to just trolling with bills.
Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) reportedly plans to file a bill that would require the White House to have an in-house psychiatrist.
“I’m looking at it from the perspective of, if there are questions about the mental health of the president of the United States, what may be the best way to get the president treatment?” Lieu told the Huffington Post.
But Ted is the one who actually sounds nuts.
Lieu said he thinks a republic cannot tolerate a president who lies pathologically, claiming such circumstances are dangerous and can lead to authoritarian regimes. He also urged residents to write letters to editors of publications to help publicize their dissent with Trump’s recent actions.
Lieu said he, like many of his constituents, struggles to explain Trump’s presidency to his children. He said he thinks Trump is especially dangerous since he makes the public believe fake news is everywhere and causes them to doubt reality. He urged listeners to tell their children reputable news sources such as the Los Angeles Times and ABC News do their best to report the facts, and that Trump’s disapproval of such agencies does not invalidate their legitimacy.
Can we get an in-house psychiatrist here.
