Anybody got a source on that quote? Looked for a minute but didn't find proof he said that. Chuck is a dumbass and those sentiments are echoed here, but this kind of seems like a fake meme quote to me. Please provide a source if I've missed it!

Spoiler: It's a humorous text

But it's... well it's something...

If I'm elected president, I will…

Bring on Donald Trump as my apprentice. When my presidential term is complete and he has obtained his black belt, or whichever comes first, he can buy the White House and of course rename it (to, what else, "The Trump House").

Create new immigration legislation: to deport all liberals (then force them to listen to Bill O' Reilly every day for five years, at which point they may return).

Require Bill Gates and Warren Buffet to personally pay for national, comprehensive medical coverage for every American.

Chuck Norris is a Socialist he's just too dumb to realize it.

This isn't even Socialism, this is just a basic provision against being a Dystopia.

Weird that he's ok with taxing billionaires so they can provide universal health care. I see this was in 2007, so when Obama proposed it in 2009, I'm sure he did a complete 180.

Thanks for providing this. Very well might be the source of the quote based on the date published.

Also worldnetdaily.com is known for promoting falsehoods and is considered a hate group so I think there's still a decent chance that even that article linked isn't a real quote from Norris, though it might be since he was self-promoting via "Chuck Norris facts" for a while.

Jesus. The foreshadowing with trump. Chuck is cray cray.

OP doesn't care about the truth, only finding reasons to be outraged. Take everything they post with a huge grain of salt.
