Jonathan Gruber: “Guns Are A Public Health Issue”

Another video has resurfaced of MIT economist Jonathan Gruber, this one showing the Obamacare architect speaking candidly about guns while claiming that the National Rifle Association is holding “hostage” President Barack Obama’s nominee for Surgeon General.
“By the way you have now permanently prevented yourself from winning a high elected office in the United States despite your charisma,” Harold Pollack told Gruber at the end of a three-part interview about Obamacare recorded in April, predicting the backlash Gruber is facing by months in advance.
“You know they’ll be playing this tape back in an endless loop with a guy with a deep voice in the background,” Pollack predicted.
Gruber doubled down, segueing from speaking openly about Obamacare to another topic.
“I’ll guarantee it further by highlighting that guns are a public health issue,” Gruber said.
Says the man who lives on the right side of town, in a pricey home, away from the unwashed masses. Here is what I think is a public health issue: pampered, effete, urbanized, metro-sexual self proclaimed elitists.

He didn’t ‘go’ bad. He was performing his duties exactly as programmed.
His mistake, if there was one, was allowing himself to be videotaped making these statements. These tapes should be “number 1” in a video dictionary definition of Hubris.

Why would it be a mistake? The MSM will bury it. No one but “extremist” web pages and “right wing talk radio” will ever mention it.

Hard to tell which is his own worst enemy – his mouth, or his BRAIN.
