The democrats have some whopping morons in Congress like Maxine Waters, Eric Swalwell, Kirsten Gillibrand, and…well, all of them. Pound for pound, however, you’d be hard pressed to find one dumber than California Rep. Ted Lieu. Not only is he an idiot, he has a smug sense of self-importance combined with a complete lack of self-awareness that dovetails seamlessly with his complete lack of wit. Someone accused him of being ineffective and he responded by saying Cirque du Soleil is racist. At least that’s what I think he was getting at as it it’s hard to tell with his brand of idiocy.
On Saturday Ted Lieu went to see Cirque du Soleil and tweeted about it like anyone gives a shit:
Watched #Amaluna by @Cirque du Soleil last night in San Pedro, CA. An amazing show. pic.twitter.com/7HLR5BHqgS

Some Twitter rando saw this tweet as an opportunity to call Lieu out for doing absolutely nothing to improve things in the state he represents:
What is Ted “China Spy” Lieu doing about homelessness in major California Cities?

And because he has nothing better to do than respond to random people on Twitter, Lieu hit back with some of his patented stupidity:
I served on active duty in the United States military to defend your right to say stupid, racist shit. https://t.co/e9d1REJzCn

The first thing is, what the hell was racist about that tweet? The “China spy” thing? Lieu is Chinese (born in Taipei) and he not only hates America but actively works against this country’s interests and wellbeing. Next to “dumbf*ck” I can’t think of a better way to describe ted Lieu than “China spy.” Also, “China spy”is not a racial slur.
But because he is Ted Lieu, I think he’s trying to say that Cirque du Soleil is racist. Or at least accusing him of shirking his duties to see Cirque du Soleil is racist. And this is where his idiocy really starts to shine. Cirque du Soleil is a weird French circus-like thing and not one of those Chinese acrobat circuses. Maybe Lieu identifies as French and thinks accusing him of liking Cique du Soleil is racist, despite the fact that “French” is not a race.
As it turns out Lieu loves to slam people as racists for calling out his bullshit. Last year he accused Fox News host Laura Ingraham of racism for the democrats’ support of open borders and unchecked illegal immigration.
Dear Laura Ingraham: I served on active duty to defend your right to make racist statements.
America is not a race or demographic. It’s a beautiful & bold idea, based on life, liberty & the pursuit of happiness. You @IngrahamAngle are no more American than I am or others are. https://t.co/Op7rnjak5o

Wow, it’s almost the same tweet. In addition to Cirque du Soleil, Lieu thinks protecting our borders from a foreign invasion is racist. I’d be willing to bet he thinks everything is racist so long as it doesn’t come from one of his democratic colleagues.
You may also notice that Lieu keeps saying that he defended our country to allow people to say racist things. I don’t normally call into question a person’s service to this country, but Lieu didn’t exactly lay his life on the line to preserve our freedom. He served in the Air Force for 4 years as a JAG, which is a military prosecutor. He saw absolutely no combat and his entire purpose was to court-martial and jail his fellow service members. Rather than being a Constitution-preserving hero, he was pretty much a snitch.
I appreciate everyone who ever served in the United States Military, but it’s utter bullshit for Lieu to act like he risked life and limb so we can be free. Also, the fact that he is vehemently against our Constitutional rights doesn’t help his claim that he’s the champion of American freedom.
Maybe the weirdest takeaway from all of Lieu’s stupidity is that he seems to think racism is okay. He’s wrong about what constitutes racism, but he’s unusually proud that his military heroics allows for people to be as racist as they want to be. Like I said, he’s dumb.
