CONCORD, N.H. -- A 91-year-old freshman Republican state lawmaker is unapologetic about suggesting New Hampshire's mentally disabled should be shipped to Siberia.
State Rep. Martin Harty of Barrington said he was kidding around with an unidentified female caller who supported funding for the homeless when he raised the issue of eugenics and the world's population explosion.
"I was kidding with her and it kind of got away from me," he said of the conversation. "It was a girl that wanted money for the crazy people, the people ... a good percentage of the homeless people are mentally disturbed."
