He was a typical Michigan dem.
"An avid sportsman and hunter, he strongly opposed gun control, and is a former board member of the National Rifle Association.[29] For many years, Dingell received an A+ rating from the NRA.[29] Dingell helped make firearms exempt from the 1972 Consumer Product Safety Act so that the Consumer Product Safety Commission had no authority to recall defective guns." (wikipedia)
But then huge on single payer, but a WW2 vet who got a medal from Obama.
I am struggling to buy this from him about the senate..gotta look into it more.
Dingell is old enough to be suffering from some form of dementia. I saw this with my father. In 1990-91 he was in his late 80’s and still lucid but parroted the lamestream crap about ‘the worst economy in fifty or a hundred years’ and the war with Iraq over Kuwait was going to be like WW1 with massive casualties and no decision (because that was how the Iraq-Iran War went). My father was really conservative. I knew he was just repeating what he heard and he was going downhill fast. I suspect prograt operatives, maybe grandchildren or nephews, are programming Dingell to get him to spew out this crap. It does tell one where the prograts are headed as a major talking point.
