Of all the foolish antics the Republicans have pulled off recently, this one really makes us cats hack up a hairball.
GOP Congressman Pete Sessions visited the World War II memorial — House Republicans' favorite prop for the evils of the shutdown they themselves caused — and was confronted by a visitor, who asked him why the House didn't just bring a clean CR to a vote.
"Look, we're not French," Sessions said. "We don't surrender."
Does anybody besides us cats see how inappropriate that was? Do Republicans not understand that the World War II memorial salutes not only all the GIs who served in the European theater, but particularly those who landed on the beaches of Normandy on June 6, 1944 to free France from Nazi tyranny?
Does Congressman Sessions know how many Americans died on D-Day to liberate France from Hitler? We cats know: More than 6,000.
Can Congressman Sessions write that many notes of apology to American families in the next few days? Can he apologize to the entire country of France? If not, we suggest that Congressman Sessions refrain from making stupid, offensive, ignorant remarks — or resign from office.
