South Dakota state representative Jenna Haggar gave a spectacularly awkward speech to CPAC yesterday, in which she said that President Obama and his “big government progressive policies” are using “handouts and welfare” to make “generations of Americans dependent on the government.”

Haggar, who serves alongside her father in the State House​, said that unlike Americans today, the people who settled South Dakota and the Midwest never needed government aid (she may want to read about the Homestead Acts).

Obama is changing American values, Haggar added, lamenting that “we live under the imperial president His Highness Barack Hussein Obama, mmm mmm mmm.”
