Virginia GOP congressman claims ISIS has invaded Texas: ‘You can’t make up what a terrible problem this is’

Representative David Brat (R-VA) warned a Washington Times reporter that Texas is under threat from an armed insurgency. And Brat isn’t even talking about “the invasion by federal troops under the auspices of President Obama and Operation Jade Helm,” the Houston Chronicle Reports. Brat says Islamic State jihadists have a base in Texas.

During a taping of conservative media personality Rusty Humphries’ radio show, Brat told the host — beyond the Obama-imposed institution of martial law in the American southwest — he’s worried about ISIS, a Syria-based militia several tens-of-thousands of people strong. In contrast, the U.S. military has approximately 1.4 million people currently serving in active duty positions around the world. And then there are defense contractors.

“In our country it looks like we have an ISIS center in Texas now, that’s been reported last week,” Brat alleges to Humphries in audio reported by Right Wing Watch. “You can’t make up what a terrible problem this is.”

Reporters at the Houston Chronicle point out that no official body in a position to be aware of an ISIS uprising in the Lone Star State believes that such a threat exists in the first place.

1. Well, VA-07 seems to have a very doubtful taste when it comes to choose their reps.\nt

[atreides1]

9. They had another choice!

They could have elected a better man...instead they sent this asshat to Congress, and guess what...he's done less for his district then Cantor did!!!

[arcane1]

2. “You can’t make up what a terrible problem this is.” Oh, yes you can!

Didn't this nut beat Cantor?

[dawnie51]

3. This is what 20 years of Fox gets you......

a stupid population represented by stupid legislators, all of whom either believe this drivel that pours out of Fox 24/7, or cynically use it to further their own interests. Back in McCarthy's day, you could blame it on the alcohol. Now it's just the insanity of the idiots who tune in to Hannity for their daily dose of crazy.

4. Dave Brat, econ prof of small VA college, from Michigan originally. Slid into that election. Shame.

[Elmer S. E. Dump]

5. If he's so damn sure, call 911 and point the cops in their general direction.

But he's just fear mongering. Why? Hell if I know what prompts these people (other than $$$$).

[sorefeet]

6. Well go get them then you fucking fuck

[Liberalagogo]

7. “You can’t make up what a terrible problem this is.”

Except that you just did.


Rethuglicans aren't happy unless their panties are absolutely SOAKED with urine.

[okaawhatever]

8. +100 nt

[tanyev]

10. Make up your mind. Do you want the rubes to be scared of ISIS in Texas or the US military in Texas?

'Cause you can't have it both ways.

[Thav]

12. They just want them scared

It really doesn't matter what of, just so they can blame it on Obama.

[Dyedinthewoolliberal]

11. This points out, again

what a shift there has been in the media in this country over the last 50 years. This stuff would have never gotten within 1000 miles of any news outlet back then. He'd be laughed at and told to go see a doctor about his problem. Now they are treated as though what they have to say is valid and has merit.................

[Jack Rabbit]

13. Isn't this the Koch head who ousted Canotr?

??

[notadmblnd]

14. yeah, all two of them and they're dead.

[wolfie001]

15. Typical dumbass Repuke.

Down south these "morans" don't even try.

[BumRushDaShow]

16. Brat took Cantor's seat (VA-07)

The folks there replaced the slimy Cantor with an absolute loon.

[WorseBeforeBetter]

18. The post-911 Texas calvary didn't do it's damn job!

Geez, Brat, you make Cantor look like the voice of reason.
