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 doesnt 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 its 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.
In an apparent miscalculation, House Rules Committee Chairman Pete Sessions (R-Texas) claimed Tuesday that ObamaCare will cost $5 million per person.
Precisely how Sessions arrived at that calculation during House floor debate on the budget is unclear.
