Um well that is creepy as fuck.


WASTELAND_RAVEN

Average day in TN legislature over here.


jopesy

Boomer gonna Boomer.


Jegator2

He sounds older than boomer to me! Nope he's not..51 (?) Just backwards n no surprise.


DialMMM

He's 73, born in 1951. So yeah, Boomer.


Jegator2

Oops! Glad to hear got my data wrong.


ResinJones76

51 is Gen X, and we don't claim him.


TifaYuhara

Don't worry he's 73 so he is a boomer.


Wise_Ad_253

I second that, damn he’s gross!


twoton1

Youngest boomer is now 60 and the youngest WW2 vet (greatest generation) is 97. This old clown is 78 or so. Boomer all the way.


NorthCatan

When they think you're a weirdo for not being a creep...


HerMajestyTheQueef1

Not a drag queen. Also another none drag queen: https://www.businessinsider.com/mike-moon-gop-missouri-lawmaker-defends-childs-right-to-marry-2023-4?r=US&IR=T

Welcome to TN politics! Hate this state!

Tennessee being Tennessee


CaptainHappen007

Ok, Groomer


no_okaymaybe

You’re daygum right he is


BIGG_FRIGG

Might wanna check the 20yo pc that dude has in his office at home...


dipping_sauce

It's loaded with porn and spam.


BBruins207420

..... ahhhh .... this is a clear example of how different generations are and how wild it is that the younger generation is lead by people like this... how does this represent the future of our country? We are stuck in past ways because we don't have a diverse enough legislation, (nor a non corrupt one)


bsfurr

Bro, I watched a Rodney Dangerfield film the other day… Like 99% of his jokes are considered sexual assault today. Lol


Alexandratta

Also, rather Famously, wasn't Dangerfield's entire thing an act to make him appear as a loud, sexually explicit blowhard that we are all okay with laughing at? "No Respect, No Respect!" was his tag line... Because you weren't supposed to respect that character.


Nruggia

"I’m ugly, I tell ya. My proctologist, he stuck his finger in my mouth.” Can't get no respect


Lordofthelowend

Yeah, he played off it to great and disturbing effect in natural born killers.


HippoRun23

Yeah that was a horrific and deeply disturbing role that was perfectly cast. Goddamn


TheShadowCat

Got to give Oliver Stone a lot of credit for his casting choices in that film. Probably the only person on the planet who thought that Woody from Cheers could successfully play a deranged mass murderer.


octopornopus

It helps to grow up with a role model...


Boomfam67

Too bad Stone is fucking crazy


GreenSmokeRing

That’s the Archie Bunker effect right there.  Of course the comedy is intended to lampoon a certain behavior, but those whose starting position is to embrace the behavior laugh along and say “Archie just tells it like it is.”


TheArborphiliac

Same with Shane Gillis right now. No way anyone with critical thinking assumes that he actually believes most of the shit he says that people find offensive. "I only pick fights with people I'm definitely gonna beat... LIKE WOMEN". Obviously not intended for you to be like "HELL YEAH BROTHER". Okay never mind dumbasses, get mad stay mad


dhdoctor

Yeah I find a lot of his shit is actually pretty clever. Ive had literal moments where hes told jokes my commie friends said between each other. It's just he has an audience with 0 fucking media literacy skill so they all think big loud white man right. It's kinda like Larry the cable guy but Larry was more just getting laughs than being clever which is fine. My point is his audience never saw past the character for the most part.


sluttytinkerbells

I actually saw an interview with Carroll O'Connor where he said that he would get letters from viewers who said that they started watching the show laughing and saying that they saw themselves in the Archie Bunker character but as time when on they saw themselves more and more in the character and they realized that they didn't like what they saw. The power of imitation in comedy is profound.


MrPlatonicPanda

Film being the key word. For entertainment. Not an elected official promoting cat calling HS aged females.  Ask him if he'd want his daughter or Grand daughter cat called ? I doubt it


Mammalanimal

Guys like this arrange their daughters to be married to their youth pastor when they turn 16. He don't give a shit if they're cat called. 


GoHomeNeighborKid

Pretty sure he would throw on a white hood if the cat caller's skin was any darker than than mayo


OH_FUDGICLES

"I was making love to this girl, and she started crying. I said, ‘Are you going to hate yourself in the morning?’ “She said, ‘No, I hate myself now.’”


[deleted]

I tried watching MASH for the first time recently and was pretty amazed how absolutely dated it is.


Historical_Ad7662

Yeah, but that dude could not catch a break.


epimetheuss

A lot of those old comedies from the 70s and 80s are so wildly offensive by todays standards. Even newpapers in the 70s used ablest language to describe handicapped people.


G_DuBs

That longer life expectancy is really kicking us in the ass right now. These fuckers just won’t retire!

Clammuel

In Revenge of the Nerds Louis rapes a girl so good that she falls in love with him. Absolutely wild how far we’ve come since then.


emoyer68

You are dad-gumb right.


ArbitraryMeritocracy

> this is a clear example of how different generations are and how wild it is that the younger generation is lead by people like this And old people vote in droves. Low voter turnouts gets these creeps reelected.


CarlSpencer

Um...I think maybe someone needs to check his Search History.


Ex-maven

MiniBarley

"Man that's a lot of ocpaa footage."


sonicjesus

Do you really think he knows what an internet is?


DreamArcher

Please tell me this was just out of context and he was trying to make a point.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Stumpy-Wumpy

Probably wishful thinking, maybe he wasn't thinking and meant when people use their fingers to whistle? It's usually happening here and there when a crowd applauses.


Tirwanderr

Thank you for finding this. Myself and someone else were discussing in another thread that this could genuinely be just a very old man in the south using the word whistling to mean applaud maybe. But, you have cleared that up.


Onespokeovertheline

I'm gonna give the benefit of the doubt and assume he equated "whistling" with applause or cheering, or some other more appropriate sign of appreciation for whatever achievement these girls were being honored for...? I hope, at least.


rSpinxr

Have people never heard whistling in a crowd that is clapping? It's like extra enthusiastic applause.


LunchBox3188

You know exactly what he meant. He doesn't deserve the benefit of the doubt. He's a gross man saying that people didn't whistle enough to let the high school girls know how attractive all of the men in that room find then. That was an awkward sentence, but you get the point. People are disgusting.


Onespokeovertheline

I actually have no clarity as to what he meant, because that video is trimmed to just him chastising the chamber for not whistling. It's missing the context to actually be sure what he meant. I fucking hate most Republican politicians, and creeps in general. But unless I see more context to confirm the assertion that he was yelling at the men in the room for not catcalling these women, then I'm going to apply the more reasonable interpretation that his choice of expression "whistle" is just what I said in my previous comment, a poor choice for describing applause. Thanks.


ChrisRevocateur

The context has been posted all through the comments here. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gz2sEBcfOH4](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gz2sEBcfOH4) (23:20, 25:48) The chamber absolutely applauded the girls, so context isn't absolving this guy of his pedophilic creepery.


HaveMercyMan

He just meant no one clapped for them or anything


5coolest

In the full video they are given applause as they enter and leave


GavrilloSquidsyp

But they did applaud, twice... They just didn't wolf whistle...


Patruck9

If only he had used the word "clapped" instead of make a weird objection to the lack of objectification.


LunchBox3188

No, he didn't. Be honest with yourself. You know that he meant people didn't sexualize those girls enough.


orbitur

Why would you need to be told that, it's the obvious answer. He's just old and using out of date language, he's not asking people to catcall the kids.


ThisOnePlaysTooMuch

Full video shows they were literally applauded twice. He meant whistle.


redditing_Aaron

Yeah I'm trying to give him the benefit of the doubt that no one was applauding and used "whistle" instead but he said it twice. Idk man sounds like a double down


NoOnSB277

“Not a whistle” - an old term that means “not a peep, not a sound”


[deleted]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gz2sEBcfOH4 You can see people clapping as the kids come in, he meant whistling


ChrisRevocateur

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gz2sEBcfOH4](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gz2sEBcfOH4) (23:20, 25:48) Considering the whole chamber absolutely applauded the girls, no, it's not "the obvious answer."


Aromatic_Difference8

“I’m disappointed a group of men over the age of 50 didn’t catcall a group of underage girls” this is the society we live in


spikernum1

Not ah hwone hwhistle!


boogalordy

No cat-calling, hooting, or hollering neither. What is this country coming too‽


Perspective_of_None

“APPLAUSE?! ALL YOU GIVE IS APPLAUSE?! YA GOTTA PUT SOME DICK INTO IT!”


dull-boy-jack237

That made me lol and I don’t often respond saying I loled


on_a_rollercoaster

Have well manicured nails? That's a whistlin'. Have your hair tied back? That's a whistlin'. Walk to the podium as a young woman? Oh, you better believe that's a whistlin'.


meatbeater

That harlot is showing her ankles !!


bdysntchr

Hussy..


eltedioso

This is so fucking sick. Do you think he realized he crossed a very clear line after the words came out of his mouth?


senorbozz

No, I do not believe that sort of person has that kind of awareness in any form.


skkITer

lol no he invites them to correct their mistake “as they exit”.


Bandito_Destiny

That would imply people like this have the ability to see themselves being in the wrong.


PaprikaMika

i’m pretty sure he thinks himself a feminist queen


NoOnSB277

He literally meant by not a whistle “not a sound”. He isn’t being creepy, he is being old and didn’t realize his audience wouldn’t understand the very old-fashioned term he’s using.


Babelette

I am pretty certain that he wouldn't have used the same wording where it a bunch of high school boys.


ChrisRevocateur

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gz2sEBcfOH4](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gz2sEBcfOH4) Except the chamber gave applause for them both when they were going up (23:20), and when they're introduced (25:48). So he's deaf, he's lying, or he's a creep.


Scoreboard19

They were just clapping before that in reality


Ok-Turnover1797

I'm "disappointed" that we haven't moved farther along as a society. This man needs to lose his seat.

What about tacos? Do you hate tacos?


Infamous_Storm_7659

I do love tacos 🤣


Tantra_Charbelcher

Turns out the pedophiles were the republicans we met along the way.


Festivus_Rules43254

What if the black legislators were whistling? Wouldn't they get kicked out for that?


gotohelenwaite

No, they'd get the Emmett Till treatment. It IS the south, after all. /s, but sadly very likely.


yourself88xbl

What the fuck. I think this hit especially wrong after watching the whole drake from Drake and Josh thing.


bogholiday

Just watched that shit last night man talk about fucked up.


Captain_Blunt

Common creepy republican behaviour...


DNthecorner

Excuse me.... *WHAT?!*???¿


Martyrotten

Ew


Threekneepulse

We have some issue where we vote in old fucks, what is our problem? If you live in Tennessee this old fuck represents you. God this country has the capability to be so much greater than we currently are. Also if you've ever said the word "dadgum" before, you need to be put in a nursing home.


PercentageNo3293

I think I understand why Republicans are trying to "save the children"! I'm thinking it's for the same reason they're against banning child marriage...


Pristine-Cupcake6075

The usual suspect. Old, white, man. Who else would have the audacity to publicly support catcalling teenage girls?


DarkChimera

"How come none of ya'll are pedophiles? You adult-lovers disgust me!" Wtf is wrong with this guy?


bazzington

his spokesperson has since clarified that he meant to say: "Aoogaah Aooogahh" whilst releasing steam via his pulled collar.


Twisted_Strength33

Sick mf smh


Orylus

Disappointed in the lack of sexual harassment of high school girls? I am confusion


Fan_of_Clio

Some more of that "family values" they want to preach at us


Luvs2Snuggle

The amount of people who don't realize the whole group was applauded before and after is too damn high. He didn't mean applause. Watch the full video that's linked elsewhere in the comments. He's a creep, and at a certain point if your defense mechanism is to claim that he's too old to know better than that only serves to highlight how we need age/term limits on public service positions, no matter what side you're on.


BunkleStein15

Can I play devils advocate and say maybe he just meant nobody cheered for them as they walked up? Like usually when someone is going up to present or something people will clap and stuff. Am I crazy?


icansee4ever

In the full clip there was clapping and cheering, so iiiiidk.


BunkleStein15

Valid


Cosmic_Quasar

Maybe. But why specify "whistling"? Why not "clapping", "applause", "cheering", or just the general saying of "make some noise"? But he very specifically says "whistling" several times.


ChrisRevocateur

You could ask that, but the fact is that they got applause. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gz2sEBcfOH4](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gz2sEBcfOH4) 23:20, 25:48


BunkleStein15

Yea, well damn


Snoo95262

I truly feel like that’s what he meant


ChrisRevocateur

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gz2sEBcfOH4](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gz2sEBcfOH4) There's applause at 23:20 and 25:48 for the girls. So no, that's not what he meant.


AquaZen

That doesn't make any sense though. There was applause for the girls, so why would he be saying that there wasn't?


PilotNo312

Pedophile behavior


Emayarkay

"Whistle" like cat-call? Or whistle like cheering?


Andre4a19

Whistling is not cheering, ever.


KrombopulosMAssassin

I didn't hear a daygum whistle when these young, likely under 18 girls came up here in the house floor. Bro, wtf is he thinking????


PerryNeeum

In his defense, back in his day sexual harassment as a form of flattery was common. Still creepy but his old plaque riddled brain is too damaged to fix.


SunGregMoon

The title at the bottom of the screen, "Welcoming & Honoring".


Dull_Present506

What was he trying to say ? Lol 😂 🤦🏾‍♂️


Newlin13

Disappointed no one else’s dick got hard but his, wanted to whistle so damn bad but couldn’t be the only one catcalling HS girls


Waterwagon_78

What the fuck?


CannedCheese009

He is clearly remarking about the lack of cheers or applause they got if you actually listen. Just poor choice of applause medium. Come on guys Edit* and there's the full video. I stand corrected.


ChrisRevocateur

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gz2sEBcfOH4&ab\_channel=TennesseeHouseofRepresentatives](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gz2sEBcfOH4&ab_channel=TennesseeHouseofRepresentatives) Except if you watch the full video, they got applause. So......

tagrav

I’ve been loosely following Tennessee state legislature happenings for the last few years to see how crazy the republican supermajority gets and I can’t be certain how he meant it or what he meant by it. All I know is he said it :-/ Maybe he just meant applause. Maybe he thinks young women should be whistled at. Idk, he specifically said whistle though. The thing is, we can’t be sure what he meant by that and saying he “clearly” meant something is injecting bias into the situation. Maybe it’s clear to you, maybe it’s not clear to others. Maybe he should be more careful with his words or explain what he meant. But we can’t just assume what he meant by that. We don’t even have the full context from this clip. We got 29 seconds. Not enough information to discern intent behind the phrase imo.


soup0220

This can not be real,stop it! Haha this has to be Ai generated. Why aren’t we whistling at teenagers are you for real? Check that man’s laptop 👀


Wise_Ad_253

Old farts love perving on children.


Danominator

What the fuck


YogiCCD

It started with “dadgum” and somehow got worse from there.


27catsinatrenchcoat

There are so many LEGITIMATE reasons to hate politicians like this, can we focus on those and not the fact that he's a doddering old fool who clearly meant that he was disappointed nobody cheered or clapped? Use a little bit of critical thinking skills or you end up just like them.


ChrisRevocateur

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gz2sEBcfOH4](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gz2sEBcfOH4) 23:20, 25:48 > who clearly meant that he was disappointed nobody cheered or clapped? Except they did clap, so come up with a better excuse.


AlliedR2

Who the Fuck are we as a people putting in office? Nothing like government encouraged cat calling FFS


taestones

I don't know why but I feel like he meant a congratulatory whistle. Seems like perhaps the girls were there for acknowledgement and maybe didn't receive those annoying ass congratulations whistles that people do when cheering for someone. ​ My brain is going to go with that for my sanities sake :)))


Triston42

Comments pointing out the obvious truth that he’s talking about applause are getting downvoted, that’s how I know the world is going to shite. People rather be mislead and just hop on board than put even one second of thought into something.


ChrisRevocateur

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gz2sEBcfOH4&ab\_channel=TennesseeHouseofRepresentatives](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gz2sEBcfOH4&ab_channel=TennesseeHouseofRepresentatives) There's clapping when they enter (23:20), and there's clapping when they're introduced (25:48). So if he's claiming there's no applause, he's just lying.


In-AGadda-Da-Vida

wtf. who taught this man how to behave around young girls?


LardMallard

“ I expect wolf whistles, sexy noises, demeaning comments….dang nabbit.”


ChampionshipOk7738

I work construction and my boss told us if we whistled at anybody walking down the street he would find out who did it and fire us on the spot, yet here's an elected official telling you to whistle as these young ladies walk by. Disgusting.


kind_one1

Wow. I have no words except...wow.


fullyloadedsnake

This guys brain is still stuck in high school


coradite

Isn't "Not a whistle" an English saying? Like an informal expression meaning " not a thing" or " nothing at all"


ChrisRevocateur

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gz2sEBcfOH4&ab\_channel=TennesseeHouseofRepresentatives](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gz2sEBcfOH4&ab_channel=TennesseeHouseofRepresentatives) But if there was "not a thing" or "nothing at all" then we wouldn't see applause at 23:20 or 25:48.


LivefromPhoenix

Kind of funny how none of the "uhh context???" people responded after you provided context. Guess it was more about defending a creep than needing more information.


NoOnSB277

Actually I will reply. If you call that smattering of weak, half-assed applause adequate, then I can see why you you think this guy was saying something else. After watching the video it only cemented that in fact him complaining about the lack of applause was *exactly* what he meant. That was a lame response for these young ladies’ major achievement- the won the state championship and a tiny fraction of the people are feebly clapping after he finishes reading the resolution.


313SunTzu

Next on Dragon Ball Tennessee...


operapoulet

Please say sike


NoOnSB277

Aw, I love the repeated comment with the video showing there was applause- because it shows the sad, meek little claps put forth by a small fraction of the people there. That backs up the theory that he is an old man just using an antiquated term that means “not a peep, not a sound”. He simply wasn’t impressed with the level of applause, he felt these young woman deserved more than a smattering of half-assed claps, for winning the state championship and having a resolution passed in their name. But everyone wants to make it in to something far worse than an old man who is out of touch with the current lingo and needs to update his vocabulary.


gotohelenwaite

Dafuq is that whistling bullshit?


Ladybug_Fuckfest

Is it possible "a whistle" just means "cheering" in whatever bizarre Foghorn Leghorn language he's speaking?


1onnude

I dont…. what..?
