Dem Congresscritter to Be Sworn In on Comic Book
If anything could be almost as appropriate as Adam Kinzinger taking a job with Democratic Party propaganda organ CNN, it would be a newly elected Democrat congresscritter getting sworn in on a comic book:
California Democrat Robert Garcia—former mayor of Long Beach, proud representative of the LGBTQ+ community, proud immigrant, self-proclaimed “comic book nerd”—was scheduled to be sworn into Congress [Tuesday] accompanied by some important personal touchstones… including a very rare Superman comic.
Some still laugh at the childishness of a grown man reading comic books. But Bobby is defiant:
“For all of you upset that I still read comics and suggesting that I need to do more serious reading…..um…….anyone who understands comics knows that comics are an essential part of American fiction. And the lessons learned are invaluable. It’s serious sh[**].”
True enough, comics are not just for kids anymore. They deal with themes that no reasonable parent would want their children exposed to — pregnant men, for example:
Today, DC released a comic in which the Joker becomes pregnant and gives birth to a mud monster who transforms into a child-version of himself who he adopts as his son.

Definitely more appropriate for a Democrat politician than a child.
Once sworn in (assuming Congress ever decides on a Speaker), Garcia will make history — not only for the comic book but for being the first LGBTQ immigrant to become a congresscritter. He hails from Peru.
Garcia is very excited about his new job. Here’s why:
Ok y’all I’m freaking out. This is the Congressional members reading room in the Library of Congress. I can pull any comic book from what is the largest public comic collection in the country and read them here. Let’s go! pic.twitter.com/SyIrCvHkfT

Hopefully he will be too busy sprawled on the floor in the Library of Congress with comic books spread out all around him to cast many votes.
On a tip from ABC of the ANC.
