I don’t believe anyone saw any real tears. His eyes were dry. So no need for onion or garlic, all he did was screw up his face and try to SOUND like he was crying.
Poor congressman. Perhaps he was having a convulsive fit. The way to stop that is to kick him in his muslim butt very hard.
This is what is done to convulsive camels.
Another way is to take two bricks, placing them carefully on each side of his scrotum. Bring the brings very hard and very rapidly together. Voila! I was asked if this method was painful and I replied only when you forget to remove your thumbs.
Also, bear in mind this is a Catholic cum Muslim. Try to figure that one out.
