Would be Arizona Congressman tells local news crew that he saw "fear" on the faces of immigrant children being bused from the border. Turns out it was a bus full of YMCA kids out on a field trip.

Republican candidate Adam Kwasman making friends in Oracle, Arizona.
Courtesy of the LA Times:  

Oracle's Sycamore Canyon Academy confirmed that it had a contract to house a "small number" of the children, the Associated Press reported. Protesters gathered early and waited for buses to arrive -- inspired at least in part by a July 1 demonstration in Murrieta, Calif., that forced three buses of immigrants to turn back. 

Then Adam Kwasman, a state representative and tea party member who is seeking the Republican nomination for Arizona's 1st Congressional District, tweeted from the scene: 

"Bus coming in. This is not compassion. This is the abrogation of the rule of law." 

Kwasman, demonstrators and camera crews converged on a yellow school bus filled with children, according to video. 

Later, Kwasman told KPNX-TV Channel 12 in Phoenix, "I was able to actually see some of the children on the buses, and the fear on their faces. This is not compassion." 

Reporter Brahm Resnik responded, "You know that was a bus with YMCA kids?" 

"They were sad too," Kwasman retorted. 

Okay at this point you are probably shaking your head and saying, "No, nobody is that stupid."

But there is video oh doubtful one. 

Okay I am not going to lie to you, I am literally laughing so hard at this that I can barely see my keyboard to type anything.

So feel free to add your own snark

    Are the fucking baggers completely bonkers? Why would DHS use goddam school buses to transport kids when DHS own buses have been used in other instances.

      The U.S. media always treats Israel war crimes with kid gloves, 5:58. You must REALLY be trying to distract interest from the ugly and embarrassing AZ incident if you're willing to throw your Armageddon pal Israel under the bus.

      I'm Jewish (by heritage but Atheist by practice) and Israel needs to grow a heart and step the fuck back and stop acting like such a bully. They all need to step back and take a breath, Jews, Muslims and Christians. Israel gets to be the primo bully because America subsidizes them to the tune of 6 Billion Dollars per year (yes, 6 Billion Dollars! While American kids are starving....Britain also subsidizes them)

      The shit is never going to stop over there as long as a bunch of people, people on all sides of the religious fence, cling to their God and use it as an excuse to do harm to each other. The Middle East is a prime example of what religion can do to people. When you have Christians, Jews and Muslims all coming together in one small geographical area shit hits the fan, the shit has always hit the fan and it will keep hitting the fan because these religious fanatics are, well, they are fanatics and once you go religious you can't be reasoned with, nor act reasonably.

      Before Israel was created, there were Muslims, Christians, and Jews living pretty peaceably in the area. Then after WWII, the rest of the world took over that bit of land and kicked people out of their homes to house the Jewish folks of Europe, and ever since, Israel has been gobbling up more and more land and treating the native people there abominably.

      So very true. Stop the Aid to Israel since they seem to use it for weapons to kill others. We could use that money in THIS country, fixing roads, bridges, taking care of unemployed, underemployed. Kristol, McCain and the rest of them who seem to represent Israel more than their constituents, should shut up and do the jobs they were elected to do.

    These people don't care if they lie. Lying is just a means to an end. Good that the YMCA bus came through. It shows how these Tea Party types will almost do anything to make a point.

    That Kwasman guy just got ran over by the wheels of his own bus. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

    YMCA campers were sad too. They were probably happy until they saw a mob running towards them. No wonder they looked sad.

    That guy's excuse is hilarious. If that's the best he can come up with on the spur of the moment, he might want to go back to his day job.

    Ok, all ideology aside I want to know: WHO is it that thinks yelling at a busload of kids is going to accomplish ANYTHING?

    Seriously, no matter what side of this issue you're on, if you think screaming at kids like a fucking psychopath will accomplish anything more meaningful than letting the world know you're a giant throbbing insufferable asshat, then I think we know who needs to be stuffed onto busses and shipped far, far away from contact with kids.

    I mean seriously, if you are angry at the price of shrimp, do you wait in the Safeway parkinglot and scream obscenities at the first delivery truck that pulls up?

    WTF is wrong with these idiots??

    He stopped yakking for the cameras for a photo op with a YMCA bus? In a way, I understand from where his fear lies. Didn't the Village People do a song by that name? Can't get more "immigrant" looking than a construction worker, a cop, fireman and A NATIVE AMERICAN "INDIAN".

    Hold that bus, fellas, I want their autograph, NOW!

    The best part was the kids on the bus laughing at him.
