Are North Dakota Republicans this stupid?

Looks that way...

A Republican congressman from North Dakota suggested to the graduating class at University of Mary earlier this month that the Boston Marathon bombings, the Sept. 11 terrorists attacks and multiple school shootings were all connected to the Supreme Court's Roe v. Wade decision that legalized abortion in 1973.

In a video clip pointed out by The Huffington Post's Amanda Terkel on Thursday, Rep. Kevin Cramer (R-ND) says that the ideal of American Exceptionalism has been "turned upside down."

in America prior to Roe v. Wade.

How these people manage to walk and breathe at the same time is a mystery to me.

My qualifications to answer that question come from living in North Dakota for 45 years. Kevin is one of the poster politicians for stupid.
