Hey Jamaica Congressmon
Congressman Emanuel Cleaver opened up his part-sermon, part-speech at the Jackson County Democratic Party's unity brunch Saturday morning by talking about his recent trip to Turkey.
The former KC mayor lamented the anti-Americanism sentiment he found there. "We are hated everywhere," he said.
How bad did it get? Well, the first four days he would proclaim he was from the United States when asked where he was from.
"After about five days, I stopped telling people where I was from. When people would ask me where I was from, I would say, "HEY MON!"
