BOOM: Republican Congressman invites Obama Rodeo Clown to come perform in Texas

Rep. Steve Stockman from Texas has invited the Obama rodeo clown to come perform in Texas. Of all the things I could say, his tweet from earlier today says it all:

BOOM! That was a great quote. See below for more info:

NBC NEWS – The controversial rodeo clown who on Saturday fired up a crowd at the Missouri State Fair by wearing a mask of President Barack Obama — and encouraging a bull to run him down — now has a standing invitation to perform in Texas, a Republican congressman said Wednesday.

Though the clown has been banned from future state fairs in Missouri and the other performers have been ordered to undergo sensitivity training, Rep. Steve Stockman invited the rodeo group to perform in his congressional district near Houston.

“Liberals want to bronco bust dissent. But Texans value speech, even if it’s speech they don’t agree with… They want to crush dissent by isolating and polarizing anyone who questions Obama, even if it’s a rodeo clown with a harmless gag,” Stockman said in a statement.

But Stockman said that the outrage and calls for a federal investigation into the incident violate the clown’s First Amendment right to free speech.

“If you’re demanding a rodeo jester be thrown in the dungeons for mocking the king, don’t pretend you support a free country,” the congressman tweeted.
