Cynthia Davis Commentary Prompts Audible Gasps In Health Policy Hearing
The comments of Birther Rep. Cynthia Davis (R-O'Fallon) at today's House Health Care Policy Committee hearing have Capitol insiders buzzing a bit this afternoon.
According to multiple individuals in attendance, Davis left fellow representatives and the crowd aghast as she shared her thoughts with a witness -- who happened to be an African American -- about the nutrition habits of 'your people' and 'your community.'
Davis reportedly questioned the witness about her faith background, and then expressed concern about what she perceived to be poor choices made by food stamp recipients, making multiple references to white milk being preferable to chocolate milk.
I'm told Davis also said something close to, ""We should revamp the food stamp program so people who get food stamps can't buy junk food like potato chips and chocolate milk"...while she was eating potato chips herself.
We're still trying to scrounge up audio or video of the comments, and will update this post as more information is collected.

gotta see the video
i know i saw some cameras around the capitol today, there's got to be a video of this no-talent assclown. KOMU? i thought i saw one of their sweet shoebox-on-wheels vehicles today with the subtle logo on the side. if i considered myself an R, i would be a thousand feet from this walking mess! MUST SEE VIDEO!
Is it really news anymore...
...when Dimthea Dumazz says stupid things? Why are surprised? If we truly get the government we deserve, then I am sorely disappointed in the collective intellegence of the people of O'Fallon, MO.
She's Back!!!
Seinfeld had the Soup Nazi--"No Soup for YOU!"
We have "NO CHIPS, NO CHOCOLATE CYNTHIA."
Lead on, Cynthia
While we're at it, let's revamp legislators' salaries and stipulate that they can't buy chocolate milk and potato chips because it sets a poor example for the rest of us. I do hope Cynthia will lead the way in this effort.
Amazing
I was there for the hearing and can confirm that those statements were said and that there were jaws on the ground as she (Davis) was saying them. The Chair, Rep. Cooper was wholeheartedly embarrased and was seen visibly laughing at the obsurdity of one of his members. He was so nervous about what else she might say, when the next witness came to testify, he cut off questions at the time it was Davis' turn to open her mouth again.
The committee members with nearly no exception were embarrassed and uncomfortable as she backhandidly insulted a witness of the committee.
In all the years I've been doing this, it was one of the most appaling moments in a committee ever. Truly amazing.
