He’s just a loudmouthed posturing old bully counting on the odds that even somebody who dislikes bullies won’t punch an 81-year-old man in the chops.

Some people have really intense touch issues. I HATE being touched by someone I don’t know or trust to the point I will actually put money down on the counter at a store for the cashier to pick up rather than touch them. So it is reasonable that someone could react that way.
Well, unless he actually killed someone. That’s not reasonable at all.

Young: “Sure. The last guy to touch me ended up dead. Cancer.”
Don Young - patient zero. Call the CDC.

That he might not like to be touched is understandable to a point. I want to know about somebody ending up dead. Did that really happen? There should be public records.
He also told Forrest to get off his lawn.

So, Don Young is trying to be Palpatine to Michael Grimm’s Anakin Skywalker?
GOP: Grumpy Old Party
With respect: no, I think the empirical evidence confirms that he’s a loudmouthed posturing old bully.

I have no doubt that Congressman Young is a loudmouth posturing old bully…that does not necessarily take away from the fact that there are people, possibly him, who have intense phobias regarding being touched. I’ve snarled at people who touched me without asking.

Yes, I hear that. I guess my point is, did you threaten them with death or brag about having previously killed touchers?

We’ve known for a couple of decades now that Don Young is batcrap crazy.
This is just an affirmation of what we’ve known all along.

No, I did not, and that part of it really is rude. Then again, I tend to be incredibly polite and the last time someone touched me without asking I asked them not to.
I think responses like, “Move on,” and “There’s some truth to that,” just give us permission to assert as truth anything we want. The last person who touched Don “Dart Frog” Young died instantly from lipophilic alkaloid toxins secreted through the Senator’s skin.

“ornery, aggressive – and maybe even a little unstable.”
Well, that pretty much sums up his party, now doesn’t it.

When I lived in the southwest, I traveled to Mexico frequently. It was very hard for me to get used to complete strangers coming up to me and touching me. After a bit, I started to ask questions because they did not appear to have the same ‘touching need’ with other people. I found out it was due to my red hair and blue eyes. The touchers thought it would bring them good luck if they touched me. I even had a couple of women put their infant child in my arms to hold. I would coo over the baby and give it back ASAP. It really freaked me out at first. Then I got used to it and decided it was a bit of a compliment.
But, I NEVER threatened to kill anyone that touched me. A smile and a hello was about as aggressive as I became. They meant no harm.

There’s a simple, perfectly reasonable explanation.
Don Young has Ebola.
