James Clyburn Admonishes Steven King

Congressman James Clyburn admonishes Steve King (IA-5) for saying the Austin Plane terrorism was a noble act. I’ve detailed my thoughts on the Austin event here.

Interestingly enough Vernon Hunter, the man killed in the terrorist act, was a two-tour Vietnam Veteran.

Update I To finish the thoughts on Vernon Hunter, generally politicians from both sides are quick to praise military service members sacrifice. In this instance, the plight of Vernon Hunter and his family, a federal worker doing his job has been largely ignored by both the media and both Republicans and until recently Democrats. I seriously doubt Vernon Hunter’s family will receive millions of dollars like the victims of other terrorist attacks have received.
