Did you know that it’s illegal to mock a member of Congress? Even if you didn’t know that, it’s still no excuse. If you do it, you will be tracked down and thrown in jail. Frederica Wilson is done playing around with you people.

Jon Brown, Washington Examiner:

Democratic Florida Rep. Frederica Wilson asserted that people who mock members of Congress online should face prosecution.

“Those people who are online making fun of members of Congress are a disgrace, and there is no need for anyone to think that is unacceptable [sic],” Wilson said…

“We’re gonna shut them down and work with whoever it is to shut them down, and they should be prosecuted,” she continued. “You cannot intimidate members of Congress, frighten members of Congress. It is against the law, and it’s a shame in this United States of America.”

I agree wholeheartedly. Once a person is elected to public office, he and/or she is legally protected from criticism and mockery. As we approach the Fourth of July, we need to remember that talking back to our leaders is simply un-American. We’re beneath them for a reason.

From now on, the following insults, and any others, are prohibited by law and subject to severe criminal penalties:
