Rep. Mark Takano Channels “How I Met Your Mother” to Stage an Intervention

Washington DC – Earlier today, Rep. Mark Takano took to the floor of the House of Representatives to stage an intervention, a la “How I Met Your Mother.”

 

During the remarks, Takano said, “I rise today to stage an intervention for Speaker Boehner and the House Republicans. This intervention is not because they are wearing goofy hats, or are spray tanning too much. This intervention is over their obsession with repealing or delaying the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare.

 

“To my Republican friends, I want to say, this is a safe place. We are here to help. Your addiction to repealing Obamacare and peddling conspiracy theories about the law are not doing any good – for yourselves or for the American people.

 

“Stop standing on the wrong side of history. 

 

“Let’s move on. Let’s accept that Obamacare is the law of the land and get back to being a productive legislative body.”
