U.S. Rep. Sessions stumbles on ‘simple multiplication’
Rep. Pete Sessions (R-Texas), the chairman of the House Rules Committee, has earned an unfortunate reputation. The six-term congressman and former chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee just doesn’t seem overly interested in substantive details.
About a year ago, for example, Sessions seemed to forget what a “witch hunt’ is. The year before, Sessions said he believes it’s “immoral” to extend jobless aid to “long-term unemployments [sic].” Around the same time, the congressman said the House should stop worrying about governing and focus exclusively on “messaging.”
Earlier this month, the Texas Republican said he holds President Obama “personally accountable” for murders committed by undocumented immigrants, pointing to imaginary evidence.
Yesterday, Sessions added a mathematical error to his list of greatest hits.
Precisely how Sessions arrived at that calculation during House floor debate on the budget is unclear.
