Representative Angie Craig (D-MN) appears to be having a total psychological break ahead of President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address tonight.
While the rest of the country prepares to hear about the historic economic comeback and the success of Operation Metro Surge, Craig is busy describing self-mutilation as a preferable alternative to doing her job.
Speaking at a press conference earlier today alongside fellow TDS sufferers like Reps. Betty McCollum and Ilhan Omar, Craig let her radicalism fly:
“I would rather stick forks in my eyes than be here tonight to listen to Donald Trump talk about the state of the union, but this is the people’s house, and I will not abandon the people’s house.”
Despite her dramatic outburst, Craig is still dragging herself to the Capitol tonight.
