At Least He's Not Your Congressman (Big Bad Wolf Edition)

Rep Don Young (R-AK).

CBS News–tell us how you really feel, GOP Rep. Don Young of Alaska:

Alaska Rep. Don Young has settled on a novel solution to the problem of homelessness: wolves…

Young has been pushing for the Interior Department to remove the gray wolf from the endangered species list, and during the hearing, he ridiculed a letter sent by 79 lawmakers to [Interior Secretary Sally] Jewell urging her to protect the gray wolf population.

"How many of you have got wolves in your district?" Young asked the other lawmakers on the panel. "None. Not one."

"They haven't got a damn wolf in their whole district," he added. "I'd like to introduce them in your district. If I introduced them in your district, you wouldn't have a homeless problem anymore." [Pols emphasis]

To be excruciatingly fair:

It's not clear whether Young was suggesting the wolves could eat the homeless population — perhaps he expects the homeless to make tents out of wolf hides.

It's at least possible he means that the homeless would make tents out of the wolves and therefore not be homeless anymore, as opposed to the more obvious interpretation that the wolves would eat the homeless people. So give him the benefit of the doubt we guess?

On second thought, probably not.
