worst members of congress by state?

[freepcrusher]

Alabama - probably some seggy from pre-WWII
Alaska - they all seem ok

Arizona - Gosar seems like the most egregious of all them though there have been other cranks (Biggs).

Arkansas - Cotton. Some of the Pre-WWII guys were probably worse, but I'm pretty anti-claremont and he was a "publius fellow".

California - Schmitz (crazy even by late 60s/early 70s OC standards)
Colorado - Musgrave or Tancredo

Connecticut - they all seem ok

Delaware - all seem ok

Florida - DeSantis. Gaetz is not far behind but I feel the former is more dangerous than the latter. Also, Gaetz seems like someone you could go gambling/party with while DeSantis has a kind of Lionel Hutz insincerity to him.

Georgia - McDonald (Green will probably catch up)
Hawaii - Hirono
Idaho - tie between George Hansen and Bill Sali
Illinois - Crane was bircher adjacent but I feel Gus Savage was a whole different level of crazy.
Indiana - tie between Jenner and Banks.
Iowa - Steve King or Ben Jensen (kind of the OG Steve King).
Kansas - Huelskamp
Kentucky - Comer
Louisiana - Rarick
Maine - Brewster
Maryland - Harris
Massachusetts - Pressley
Michigan - Hoffman was crazy, but Tlaib is really getting on my nerves.
Minnesota - tie between Bachmann and Omar
Mississippi - Rankin with Bilbo not far behind
Missouri - Hawley
Montana - no one in particular
Nebraska - no one that really pisses me off
Nevada - McCarran (Malone not far behind)
New Hampshire - Bridges
New Jersey - Garrett
New Mexico - Haaland
New York - AOC
North Carolina - Helms
North Dakota - can't think of anyone
Ohio - tie between Jordan and Ashbrook
Oklahoma - tie between Nickles and Inhofe
Oregon - Cooley
Pennsylvania - Perry
Rhode Island - can't think of any
South Carolina - Albert Watson, Thurmond pre-1970
South Dakota - no one in particular
Tennessee - Blackburn
Texas - Gohmert (lot of competition)
Utah - Lee
Vermont - they're all good
Virginia - any of the Byrd era guys really
Washington - Jayapal
West Virginia - Mooney
Wisconsin - McCarthy
Wyoming - Lummis

[Interlocutor is just not there yet]

Massachusetts - Pressley
Michigan - Hoffman was crazy, but Tlaib is really getting on my nerves.
Minnesota - tie between Bachmann and Omar
New York - AOC
Washington - Jayapal

Tell us how you really feel

[freepcrusher]

most of my "worst members" were republicans. Those just happened to be some of the dems i picked. Also, most of the squad are from states where republicans tend to be more moderate so it's hard to find a louie gohmert type in any of those states. MN was the one where it was a tie.

[Xing]

Jayapal is worse than McMorris Rodgers? That’s a take some Republicans might even disagree with.

[pbrower2a]

Michigan -- Tim Walberg, (R, MI-07), for trying to set aside Michigan's votes for President even after the January Putsch.

Because it's pretty stupid to say things like AOC is the 'worst' Rep. from New York, when there's Vito Fossella, Michael Grimm, Eric Massa, Charlie Rangel, Anthony Weiner, all of whom engaged in things far worse than 'be left-wing', and that's just this century. He also didn't claim it's a list of Reps. he didn't like, rather the 'worst', so it's just the same as the tired commentary from people who said things like 'AOC danced in college' etc.

You're right, there's very little difference between inciting violent insurrections / promoting white supremacist ideals and fighting for healthcare and environmental policies you happen to disagree with.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

TX Cruz and MO Hawley and whole R Delegations of TX and MO for the Insurrectionists on Jan 6th, that's why I still don't like Bushes, they are from Insurrectionists TX

Again the same question: why everyone must admire "progressive fanatics"? Why everyone must like BLM? And so on. Is that a "democracy" More like Stalinist dictatorship...

No one said you have to admire them, but saying AOC and Presley are the worst politicians to ever come from NY/MA is clearly extreme hyperbole

Methods, by which they "fight" are only slightly different from nethods of "far right", and include open lies, slander, moral "extermination" of opponent's character,  and so on. So - let me have absolutely no respect for such people...

For you. And for me AOC is no better then Jack Kemp, whom i strongly disliked too... Or Claudia Tenney if you want a more modern example.And Ilhan Omar is worse then even Emmer and Hagedorn..

[TiltsAreUnderrated]

The OP seems to have picked the loudest firebreathers rather than the members of Congress who actually did the most harm. They’ve also done a good Berlusconi impression:

Gaetz seems like someone you could go gambling/party with

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Ted Cruz, Trump and Hawley all need to be prosecuted, they all had a hand in the Insurrectionists, but without Commission, it's unlikeky

But, neither them will ever be Prez

what did Rarick do that was so questionable? I would say William Jefferson was the worst rep in Louisiana history

[freepcrusher]

what did Rarick do that was so questionable? I would say William Jefferson was the worst rep in Louisiana history

an almanac of american politics from 1974 says that even fellow southern conservatives don't take him very seriously. Like it mentioned him injecting antisemitic remarks into the congressional record.

I will mention ten:

• California — Nancy Pelosi
• Florida — Debbie Wasserman Schultz
• Illinois — Cheri Bustos
• Maryland — Steny Hoyer
• Massachusetts — Richard Neal
• Michigan — Elissa Slotkin
• New Jersey — Josh Grottheimer
• South Carolina — Jim Clyburn

• Virginia — Abigail Spanberger

with the exception of the first two - that reads like best.

I would add, that staying virulent racist in mid-1970th was out of step even with most conservative southern whites. It was rather "normal" in 1950th, may be - even in 1960th, but by 1972 all major Civil Rights laws were already in place, and even James Eastland and Strom Thurmond softened their position on issue, Rarick - didn't...
