This eastern Oklahoma idiot. Puh-lease. Statistically Greater chances in his hometown of: food insecurity - having a low birth weight baby - having to travel 30 minutes or more to see a OBGYN or a hospital or a doctor! - than getting carjacked in DC.
Markwayne Mullin: "I'm not joking when I say this. I drive around Washington DC in my Jeep - yes, I drive myself - & I don't buckle up. The reason I don't buckle up - people can say whatever they want - is because of carjacking. I don't want to be stuck in my vehicle when I need to exit in a hurry."
