SC Tea Partier Challenging Lindsey Graham: The Unemployed Shoudn’t Eat
South Carolina State Senator Lee Bright, a Tea Partier who is challenging Senator Lindsey Graham for his Senate seat, believes if you don’t have a job, you shouldn’t eat.
To give you an idea of what someone running to the right of Lindsey Graham looks like, Bright wants anyone enforcing health care reform in South Carolina to go to jail, wants the state to have its own currency and has even joked about secession.
At a fundraising event in Tulsa, Oklahoma, on Tuesday, Bright elaborated even further on his far-right beliefs, calling for immigrants to “self-deport,” saying that all social services should be provided by the Church and that able-bodied people relying on food stamps “shouldn’t eat,” and comparing the IRS’s income-tax collection to Nazi Germany.
