Check out this bizarre video posted to Rep. Mike Coffman’s Facebook page on July 30 as a “tribute” to “National Whistleblower Appreciation Day.”

No, really, you need to watch this:

Look, nobody is going to confuse Coffman as one of the better orators of his generation, but this is incredibly weird even by his relatively-low standards.

When we first saw this video, our initial reaction was that it was a joke (though we’re not aware of Coffman ever having made a joke before). But the longer you watch Coffman ramble and stumble along, the more uncomfortable you become. Why can’t he keep his eyes open? Did somebody shoot him with a tranquilizer dart before he sat down in front of the camera? Did a staffer offer him a sketchy brownie? Is he drunk?

When you compare this video to other on-air appearances from Coffman — such as this CNN interview from late 2014 (below) — it’s obvious that something is off with the Aurora Congressman:

We’ve taken plenty of shots at Coffman over the years, but we sincerely hope that nothing is wrong with him physically.
