GOP congressman mocks medical experts: 'We're safer from death if we're not born'



By Oliver Willis -May 6, 2020 1:20 PM

Rep. Andy Harris (R-MD) has pushed for reopening business despite the potential for an increase in deaths.

Recent data has shown that the number of cases of COVID-19 infection is continuing to rise across the country, even as some states rush to reopen for business.

From a May 6 House hearing:

This "guy" is suppose to represents the First District in Maryland which I live in, he is suppose to be a fucking doctor................he got most of his campaign money from the fucking Club for Growth, he has done nothing in the first district...............he has not had a town hall in over 6 months, I really would like to know if he would shake hands and greet people that do not have mask on.....and then ask him is that some element of risk................. Harris..............is that some element of risk......right or wrong................POS..............

It makes them safer and we have to be ALL about making it safe for babies

The worst thing is that there are a bunch of idiots out there who are like, "Yeah, that makes sense, you are safer if you aren't born"

Why yes, yes he was:

GOP frosh: Where's my health care?

Republican Andy Harris, an anesthesiologist who defeated freshman Democrat Frank Kratovil on Maryland’s Eastern Shore, reacted incredulously when informed that federal law mandated that his government-subsidized health care policy would take effect on Feb. 1 – 28 days after his Jan. 3rd swearing-in.

“He stood up and asked the two ladies who were answering questions why it had to take so long, what he would do without 28 days of health care,” said a congressional staffer who saw the exchange.


Come on, Maryland; you have to be able to do better than this selfish fucknuts.

If you aren't born you don't exist therefore...nothing, you don't exist and you don't matter. How does this guy get out of bed in the morning? How does he remember to breathe?

Tell him, "Man, I can't seem to taste anything lately and my joints hurt, but anyway, you were talking about risk?"

Harris has defended Hungarian leader Viktor Orbán, an ally of Vladimir Putin who has pledged to turn his country into an "illiberal democracy". Harris decried the State Departments' efforts to support free and independent media in the country.
