Rep. Pat Garofalo, has tweeted his way into another controversy, an online death wish.
The Farmington Republican, who once got some national attention for a tweet about NBA players some considered racist, turned his online ire to cat lovers gathered at CHS Field in downtown St. Paul last night for an evening watching cat videos.
I'm NOT saying I want a meteorite to hit CHS field. But IF it did right now during #CatVidFest – it wouldn't be the worst time for it.

Not surprisingly, that earned him some immediate pushback.

@PatGarofalo @JackieC1989 One person in this thread is a smart, respectable, wise, funny, and insightful person. The other is a state rep.
