Cuellar and His Sushi

Rep. Henry Cuellar's main gripe with the carjackers wasn’t the theft of his phone or vehicle, but “what really got me upset, is that they stole my sushi,” he said. https://t.co/alc2Pw5uIH

I find Henry Cuellar's line about the sushi to be extremely inappropriate. He's lucky he survived being carjacked at gunpoint, and of course, he's thankful to be alive. I still don't think it's right to joke about sushi when thugs threatened his life. It serves to diminish the seriousness of the crime.
