Do Freshmen Congressmen get shoved in lockers?
Notes de l’épisode
In this Chosen People Problems edition of “people we thought were Jewish,” we welcome CNN contributor and former Congressman Peter Meijer of Michigan to ask him: how screwed are we? We discuss the midterm elections, being one of 10 Republicans who voted to impeach Trump, his service in the US Army, and why he still supports the Jews - or at least until the latest polls come out.
As a reminder, you can also watch this episode on Youtube - and Peter's facial expressions are not to be missed when we ask him about his congressional colleagues.
Before we welcome Congressman Meijer we catch up for a few minutes about the worst thing about elections - they may be making us fat.
And Happy Veterans Day! We all really appreciate your service.
