Ouch!
Predictably, there were two kinds of reactions on Twitter. The first kind of reaction was “loved it”:
Classic!!!! KS Rep. Huelskamp: ‘Trusting Obama w/ border security is like trusting my daughter w/ Bill Clinton’ – @NBCNews

Kansas' Rep. Huelskamp: 'Trusting Barack Obama with border security is like trusting my daughter with Bill Clinton'
LMAO!

The second type of Twitter reaction was “offended that Huelskamp doesn’t think Obama’s strong on border security”:
@NewsBreaker @PoliticaILine @NBCNews Really? Is Huelskamp aware of the amt of deportations? I trust this man COMPLETELY!

@politicsnation Pls call out this despicable behavior. RT “@ericlewis0: @LiberalPhenom Huelskamp http://t.co/pmTKVPrMTx”

A third school of thought was that Huelskamp’s rather dated joke in regards to a former president who was impeached for lying under oath about “sexual relations” with an intern in the Oval Office is evidence that he thinks about sex too much. And by “he” we mean Huelskamp:

@rosierifka Wow. Just wow. They can't take their minds off #sex for one damned minute. Rep #Huelskamp is a #RWNJ

As Huelskamp’s quote makes the rounds, here’s some predicted media perspective:
MSM thought-bubble: Sanford, Spitzer & Weiner are all a disgrace, but Huelskamp's crazy for saying he wouldn't trust his daughter w/ Clinton
