Rep. Luis Gutierrez, D.-Ill., took a shot at Donald Trump Wednesday by eating Skittles while questioning IRS Commissioner John Koskinen Wednesday during his impeachment hearing.

"Every now and then I get a bad Skittle," Gutierrez said, adding that the few "bad" candies didn't persuade him to "ban them all."

Gutierrez also grilled Koskinen over a Washington Post report that suggested Trump’s charitable foundation had made frivolous purchases with money that had been donated.

The logic of the skittle analogy is unavoidable and valid. Good luck trying to discount its importance.

Add some poison to a few of the Skittles and randomly mix them in. Let’s see if he eats any.

So the same concept applies to gun owners, right? Just because a few baddies get through, does NOT make the case for increased gun laws, right? I mean, according to this sack of sh!t’s...I mean, congressperson’s logic, right?

He would not be eating them at all if he really had some ‘bad’ ones in there, and the bad ones actually killed you.

Some smart GOP congress-critter should have placed a new bowl in from of him and told him ONE of them contained cyanide.

This ranks up there with the Guam-tilting-over congressman.

“Every now and then I get a bad Skittle, ...”

Bad enough to kill you? That was the question posed by Trump’s son.

He can make that choice for himself if he wants to, but to force everyone else to eat toxic skittles while he probably lives in a gated community and have armed guards at home and at work is... let's just say hypocritical, to put it mildly.

Then challenge him to the skittles test. Move in immigrants from the ME to his neighborhood. No vetting.

Along with the sobering reminder that biting the cyanide-laced candy would have permanent effects in under fifteen seconds...

Why is it safe to eat Skittles?

What is our quality and safety policy for immigration and accepting refugees?

“Every now and then I get a bad Skittle,” Gutierrez said, adding that the few “bad” candies didn’t persuade him to “ban them all.”

Just because a few bad skittles get their hands on guns and kill, is not a reason to ban all Americans from owning them.

You can dish it out, Gutierrez, but......when it’s something that does not conform to your agenda, Your ability to reason goes out the window.
So STFU.
