Rep. Steve Stockman invites rodeo clown who mocked Obama to Texas

Gov. Rick Perry isn’t the only Texas politician offering out-of-state workers a home in Texas.

Rep. Steve Stockman extended an invitation Wednesday to the Missouri rodeo clown who was banned for mocking President Barack Obama at a state fair this week.

The clown, Tuffy Gessling, faced national backlash after he donned a mask of Obama’s face at the Missouri State Fair, while another clown asked the crowd if they wanted to see him run over by a bull.

Stockman said the national outcry, with members of Congress of both parties calling the stunt racist, was over-hyped.

I wish he and all of his stupid cronies would wall themselves off from the sane population.
