Hoekstra: Iranian Opposition Is Like House GOP
GOP Rep: Iranian Opposition Is Like House GOP

GOP Rep Pete Hoekstra has the tweet of the day:

Iranian twitter activity similar to what we did in House last year when Republicans were shut down in the House.

Via Spencer Ackerman. This takes the admiration of the Iranian opposition among some GOPers to new levels, since a House Republican probably couldn’t pay the Iranians a higher compliment than comparing them to House Republicans.

In all seriousness, members of Congress do frequently display an inflated sense of their importance on the world-historical stage, so this kind of thing isn’t really all that unusual.

3. What, don't you remember when Pelosi imported police to beat and kill the congressmen? Gosh.
Let's all change our Facebook pages to red in honor of these patriots.
