Rep. Cresent Hardy (R-NV)

I have three children. One of them is summa cum laude and two were magna cum laude. The other one, he didn't need an education. He works for Raytheon, smarter than all the rest. He works hard, he builds things that are genius. Some people have that ability .... But they all work hard. They are raising their own families. They will not be a drain on society, the best they can. Hopefully they will never have some disability that causes them to have to utilize that.

Hardy, asked about the speech after a House vote Thursday in Washington, said he did not remember making the comment and suggested it was altered or taken out of context. "I would like to have it analyzed," he said. "People try to manipulate things. I've seen that happen early on." Hardy was referring to the flap during the 2014 campaign when video surfaced in which he agreed with Mitt Romney's infamous comment about 47 percent of people living off the government.

GOP Rep. Cresent Hardy, who already has a giant "D"-shaped target tattooed on his back, is now saying that GOP Rep. Cresent Hardy didn't say the things that GOP Rep. Cresent Hardy most definitely said What is Congressman Cresent now claiming , exactly? That he suffers from " brain fade " and paranoid delusions:Oh really? Because when Hardy got flayed last year after he declared that "the 47 percent is true—it's bigger now," he didn't dispute that he'd said just that. In fact, he refused to back down and only offered that he'd "never been slick or polished." The only thing that needs analyzing here is the mind of a man who would declared the disabled a "drain on society."
