Juanita Jean-Pete Olson, My Congressvarmint

Pete Olson is an idiot http://juanitajean.com/pete-olson-my-congressvarmint/

Until this year. I’m supporting Sri Preston Kulkarni for this seat and he’s being taken very seriously. That means that Pete has to get out and campaign. Bless his heart.

He blew it and got caught.

I live in the most diverse county in the nation. Pete was asked to speak at the India House to celebrate India’s Independence Day. And out tumbled these words.

“September 11th, 2001: 3,000 innocent Americans were killed by terrorists from Pakistan,” Olson told the audience. “26 November 2008, Mumbai: Two solid days of killing by people trained in Pakistan."

Pete said he misspoke. It’s just coincidence that he misspoke about Pakistan in front of an Indian-American event.
