The former Mayor of Cleveland and perennial presidential candidate, U.S. Representative Dennis Kucinich (D), is an “angel.” At least that’s how PETA’s founder and President, Ingrid E. Newkirk, describes him.
On January 14, U.S. Rep. Kucinich (D- Cleveland) earned the dubious distinction when PETA declared him the “Most Progressive Member of Congress.” Rep. Kucinich received the award as part of PETA’s sixth annual Proggy Awards dedicated to recognizing “animal-friendly achievements in commerce and culture.”
In its press release, PETA stated that Kucinich earned the recognition for his efforts “to promote animal-friendly legislation on Capitol Hill.” Newkirk further gushed, “Dennis might be a ‘menace’ to animal abusers, but to animals, he’s an angel.”
Rep. Kucinich will receive a framed certificate and be featured on PETA’s website.
