Remember Michele Bachman? Well in case you were wondering, yes, she’s still crazy as ever. For her latest trick, she has been insisting that Huma Abedin, aide to Sec. Of State Hillary Clinton, is secretly a Muslim terrorist sent to infiltrate the government.
John McCain disagrees:
Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., took to the Senate floor today to rip apart his fellow Republicans’ accusations and came to the defense of Abedin, whom he calls a “fine and decent American,” after observing her work as both a long-time aide to Clinton while she was a Senator and as the Secretary of State.
“These sinister accusations rest solely on a few unspecified and unsubstantiated associations of members of Huma’s family, none of which have been shown to harm or threaten the United States in any way,” McCain said. “These attacks have no logic, no basis, and no merit and they need to stop. They need to stop now.”
McCain argued that there is no evidence to back up the claims by the House Republicans.
“To say that the accusations made in both documents are not substantiated by the evidence they offer is to be overly polite and diplomatic about it,” McCain said. “The letter in the report offer not one instance of an action, a decision or a public position that Huma has taken while at the State Department or as a member of then-Senator Clinton’s staff that would lend credence to the charge that she is promoting anti-American activities within our government.”
McCain said that no one, “not least a member of Congress,” should launch such a “degrading attack against fellow Americans on the basis of nothing more than fear of who they are an ignorance of that hey stand for.”
So does John Boehener:
Boehner said he did not know Abedin well, but that “from everything that I know of her she has a sterling character. I think accusations like this being thrown around are pretty dangerous.”
Kudos to those guys. It’s nice to see a little decency in congress every once in a while. Attacks like this are wildly inappropriate at best, and need to be forcefully denounced by anyone with even a shred of dignity. Having a vaguely funny sounding name does not make you a secret terrorist sleeper agent.
McCarthyism was stupid last time. It’s still stupid this time.
How do you know she’s a witch?
She turned me into a newt!
A newt?
I got better.
Also, while writing this post, my phone auto corrected “Huma Abedin” to “Gums Abedin”. This is definitive proof that she is secretly a mob boss from 1920. Glenn Beck should be notified immediately.
