This is United States Congressman Clay Higgins, Louisiana’s answer to Louie Gohmert.

He came to a congressional hearing dressed like he was late to be groomsman at a hillbilly wedding.

And he said that he didn’t know who Michael Cohen was until last week.  And he didn’t have any smart questions. And, considering that he consumed several beers during one teevee interview, he may well have been drunk.

He’s an ex-cop and says he’s all law and order, claiming he has arrested “thousands of men.”

Well, he forgot one.  His congressional aide was arrested on human trafficking charges. District Director Jerod Prunty and his lady friend were apparently running several massage parlors where they messaged in all the right places.

Prunty’s arrest was the result of an expansive, 17-month long investigation undertaken by the Lafayette Sheriff’s Department. “Deputies served warrants at five massage parlors and three residences in a coordinated sting on Feb. 12, (Sheriff Mark) Garber said,” according to The Daily Advertiser. “The raid was the result of the first phase of the investigation, he said, and it’s not over.”

They seized $50,000 in cash and several cars.

Now you’d think an ex-cop would ask someone if they dabbled in human trafficking before hiring them to work in congress.  Yeah, apparently he was drunk then, too.

Thanks to Quaker Granny for the heads up.
