Really, the tea party is to blame for nearly all of the issues facing Congress, he said, as Politico reported.
"I think they have - there's a mental health problem in Congress," Mr. Penn said. "This would be solved by committing them by executive order, I think. Because these are our American brothers and sisters, we shouldn't be criticizing them, attacking them. ... This is a cry for help.
Mr. Morgan encouraged Mr. Penn to continue: "You literally commit what, people like Ted Cruz?"
And Mr. Penn's reply, as Politico reported: "He is my American brother. I think we should take care of him, he is in trouble."
Mr. Morgan then double-checked if Mr. Penn mean to say that he wanted to forcibly commit Mr. Cruz for mental-health treatment.
"Yeah, I think it's a good idea," Mr. Penn said with a laugh, Politico reported.
A nice peak inside the mind of the liberal authoritarians eh? I’ve noticed that it is a theme amongst the liberal authoritarians to mention “helping” their political opposition by forcibly committing them to “mental health treatment.” Makes sense: "If you don’t agree with our ideology, you are sick and need some thoroughly altruistic help forced upon you by agents of the state!"
