    • No insults or personal attacks.

Not a fan of Faux News personally, but they certainly have a large audience so this is good to see.

I am not one to dismiss the possibility of UFOs being something cool/alien/crazy. But I get the feeling that these congressmen are latching on to this issue because it's easy. Gives them something "serious" to act all consternated about. They get to furrow their brows on national TV and muse about Very Serious Things™. But conveniently they can't say anything about it because it's all so classified. Very top secret, don't you know. You wouldn't know her, she goes to another school. Just a fun distraction they dangle out there so that they aren't shamed for avoiding all the important work they have to do as legislators.

UFOs being seen as serious business in the republican party, that really speaks volumes.
