"help us, jesus!" meet theresa cao, the obama birther protestor


Asians behaving badly... Congress interruption edition!

This week, a crazy birther person interrupted the House's reading of the Constitution, as a representative read the natural born citizenship clause mandating that only candidates born in the U.S. are eligible to serve in the Office of President: Birther Reportedly Arrested After Interrupting House Constitution Reading.
Except Obama, except Obama, help us Jesus!" the woman interjected over Rep. Frank Pallone's (D-N.J.) recitation of the Second Article clause.

Politico reports that the woman was arrested by the sergeant at arms after being scolded by Rep. Mike Simpson (R-Idaho), who was serving as Speaker pro tempore:

An officer removed her from the gallery as she yelled out "My name is Theresa."

"You're under arrest," the officer could be heard telling her as he led her through double doors at the back of the chamber.
Much to my dismay, it turns out that 'Theresa' is 48-year-old Theresa Cao of New York, who was arrested on charges of unlawful conduct, disruption of Congress: Theresa Cao: 5 Facts About the Obama Birther Protester.

It also turns out that this outburst is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Ms. Cao's misadventures drinking the crazy sauce. She's something of a viral video star, thanks to her lively appearances at a couple of anti-Obama protests: Birther arrested in Congress connected with anti-Obama, anti-gay rally.
