“Congressman, grateful that you’re here willing to stand up for the most American of all pleasures, which is tobacco, sorry to say it. It’s true. It founded the country,” a sorry-not-sorry Hungarian tourism director Tucker Carlson proclaims, apparently referring to the Confederate States of America and ignoring the work of slaves. The story is about the Republican House passing rules that allow for cigar smoking in Congressional offices because the GOP absolutely loves their old-fashioned stereotypes about lawmakers and smoke-filled rooms. (It’s also led to accusations of lawmakers and staff cigar “hotboxing” people to make them sick enough to leave offices.)
