Video shows Florida Congressman joking about Trump drowning
Florida Congressman Alcee Hastings kicked off a Democratic rally with a joke about President Donald Trump drowning.
The 81-year-old representative from Florida’s 20th district told the joke while emceeing a “Stronger Together” rally in Sunshine, Florida, on Sunday.
“I will tell you one joke,” Hastings said. “Do you know the difference between a crisis and a catastrophe?”
“A crisis is if Donald Trump falls into the Potomac River and can’t swim,” he went on, “and a catastrophe is [if] anybody saves his a__.”
The joke was met with uproarious laughter and cheers from the rally crowd.
