This has nothing to do with his place on the liberal-conservative spectrum, it has to do with some really OFFENSIVE language and conduct.
I can't believe you're defending this as a "BS story" when he has acknowledged that the key facts that led to his sputtering melt-down are not in dispute. He set up not one, but TWO, hedge fund accounts, and he did it at the same time he was excoriating Mittsy the Shittsy (lookie there, shit!!! His favorite word) for doing the very same thing. This goes back to 2011--it's not a new thing.
It's called HYPOCRISY--and when an "outspoken Liberal Dem" engages in it, it's just as bad as when an "outspoken Conservative Teabagger" does it.
I, frankly, would LOVE the issue of how these offshore accounts are treated and taxed to be addressed in Congress. Looks like your good buddy, there, knows damn well that this won't be happening anytime soon. He felt comfortable putting MILLIONS down there.
No matter where he was born or raised, he represents a district in FLORIDA now. Since when is the fact that he's from NY give him some kind of pass to be an asshole? I think plenty of NYers might take exception to that characterization, frankly. It is unlikely in the extreme that he'll be given the opportunity to represent the entire state--he's boisterous, out of control of his emotions, and he sounds UNHINGED. He left "impolite" in the dust by the second scatalogical reference, and when he got to "shitting robot" he was out in la-la land.
The man is NOT well, and that's why the DSCC ain't backing him. He's on a collision course with his own hubris.
