Congressman: Californians Have ‘No Loyalty to This Country’

    Rep. McClintock says many town hall protestors want secession, hate 'our Constitution'

    by Kathryn Blackhurst | Updated 14 Feb 2017 at 2:03 PM

    Rep. Tom McClintock (R-Calif.) lamented that the large segment of Californians clamoring to secede from the U.S. have “no loyalty to this country whatsoever” during an interview Tuesday on “The Laura Ingraham Show.”

    McClintock recently endured a raucous town hall event in early February in which the attendance of hundreds of anti-Trump protesters led to police escorting McClintock out of the building. These protesters reflect the 32 percent of Californians who support secession from the union, according to McClintock.

    “When a third of a state hates our Constitution and our country so much that they would back a secession movement, that’s a pretty powerful warning not to let that happen across the rest of the country,” McClintock told LifeZette Editor-in-Chief Laura Ingraham. “And I suspect that part of the reason for the popularity of the secession movement in California is the fact that you have a large portion of the population that has no loyalty to this country whatsoever.”

Stupid thing to say IMO. Lots of states have secessionist movements like Texas and Alaska, doesn't mean the whole state hates the country. Not good to talk about your constituents like that.

Well his future is done.

You know, while secession of geographical areas is unlikely to ever succeed, it's quite possible for those who no longer wish to be Americans to secede on their own.  It's called renunciation of citizenship, and anyone can do it.  They can't take their land along with them, but if they no longer want to be citizens there's nothing stopping them from doing so.  Of course, they never do, which makes their secession bleatings a bit less than believable.

I believe "This Country" are considered to be trigger words in Berkely.

He ain't wrong.  You can think it.  But you just can't say it.  So, he is so screwed.
