What s it like to work in Congress right now? U.S. Rep. Andy Kim delivered a succinct description to a group of Cub Scouts and Brownies Wednesday night.
“Sometimes it’s about passing laws, sometimes it’s about picking up some trash,” he said.
The image generated feedback from around the world.
“I have a whole stack of thank-you notes and cards people have been sending me,” Kim told the youngsters. “What a lot of them say is they were very thankful for what I did, because it shows that we love this country, that the Capitol building should be treated with respect, and it’s not just because of the building, but because the Capitol building represents our country, our democracy.”
Several law enforcement agencies continued their search Tuesday for a convicted felon from New Jersey who remains on the lam four weeks after allegedly beating and stabbing another man to death at a Boy Scouts campground close to the Pennsylvania border.
