They really are that ignorant.
OOPS!!!! I forgot, that couldn't be, the Colleges are controlled by the loonie left, self anointed and faux enlightened, progressives (Socialists) so it never got taught.
I'm sure they did.
Hoyer is not an idiot, he knows who they are.
From his website
Steny Hoyer also is a widely respected voice on foreign policy and international affairs. As the former Chair and Ranking Democrat on the Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe (the Helsinki Commission), he championed the cause of human rights, individual freedoms, democracy and religious liberties throughout the world. He called for decisive U.S. and NATO action to stop the carnage throughout the former Yugoslavia, and, more recently, condemned the repressive tactics of Afghanistan's former ruling regime, the Taliban; recognized the danger posed by that government before the terrorist attacks of September 11; and urged action against genocide in Sudan.
Meeting with them is not beyond ignorant, it's treasonous
