Sometimes it seems that House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer (D-MD) is the Joe Biden of rich, old, white, Democrats who aren’t Joe Biden. He says some pretty stupid things at inappropriate times.
Today he was speaking at a rally for Maryland Gubernatorial Candidate Anthony Brown.

It looks like Hoyer is introducing a “Dorf on Politics” skit, but he was the one serving up the awkward comedy.

Hmmm. As opposed to whom?
@rebeccagberg @aseitzwald That's actually a well known part of her bio for Marylanders: first woman elected to the Senate in her own right.

That and being named the “meanest” person in Congress on multiple occasions.

@lachlan @JonahNRO @aseitzwald SHE WAS ELECTED BY GERRYMANDERING

How does that make sense in the senate? “@fa_redleg: @lachlan @JonahNRO @aseitzwald SHE WAS ELECTED BY GERRYMANDERING”

Well, Mikulski did spend ten years in the House of Representatives prior to becoming a Senator, so gerrymandering likely helped her get where she is.

@aseitzwald I noticed this, interesting choice of words here by @WhipHoyer

@lachlan @aseitzwald @DrewMTips How big an idiot is Hoyer? This is par for the course.

Or unlike the man standing next to her. Ben Cardin “inherited” his first elected office from a relative in 1967.
