They can't read

Mayor Bloomberg of New York City ( a place I have some fondness for, since I was born there) thinks that he has an explanation for why our new congressman (ugh, I hate to write that) lost his bank account:

“If you look at the U.S., you look at who we’re electing to Congress, to the Senate—they can’t read,” he said. “I’ll bet you a bunch of these people don’t have passports. We’re about to start a trade war with China if we’re not careful here,” he warned, “only because nobody knows where China is. Nobody knows what China is.”  [Emphasis mine]
