Gov Wolf calls on Rs to remove Daryl Metcalfe

The ranking Dem on Metcalfe's committee touched his arm to interrupt him and Metcalfe went ballistic screaming he's a heterosexual and that he wasn't going to be touched by strange men. No, I am not making this up. There's video (sorry don't have the link) of the incident.

I know Butler county is R territory, but I'd think Metcalfe is too much for even them.

Does this answer your question?

Slightly longer answer: reTHUGS carved out a district for him with practically surgical precision so he's guaranteed a seat whether or not the people actually want him.

It's not like my HD-14 that carved out my primarily dem voting town and others like it so my state rep has all the areas around where I live, but not the town.

That's what's so crazy, it was a completely innocent friendly gesture.
You know, like normal people used to do. There's something wrong with Metcalf though.
I think he's caught the dreaded "right-wingers stupidity" disease. It's been going around a lot lately.
