Not the Onion

For true stories that are so mind-blowingly ridiculous, that you could have sworn it was an Onion story.

'Suck It Up, Buttercup' lawmaker hangs up on As It Happens

We called up an Iowa lawmaker to discuss his bill, titled "Suck It Up, Buttercup." It targets college students who he thinks are overreacting with rallies, sit-ins and - apparently - therapy ponies after last week's election. But we must have really upset Bobby Kaufmann, because he hung up on us.

Listening to the segment is well worth the 2 minute investment.

    That's ridiculous, they were just asking him a basic question. sounds like he's the sensitive one since he can't take people challenging him. There was a decisive win, but it doesn't take away the 1st amendment rights of people.

    This is hilarious, but not particularly surprising--in my personal experience, people who get upset about things like protests and trigger warnings tend to be unusually thin-skinned themselves.

      Kind of a prerequisite to being this upset about them to begin with.
