Before Trump, Before Bernie Sanders -- Congressman Jim Traficant was the original bombastic populist but with mobbed up street cred. As sheriff Traficant beat organized crime, defeated the Justice Department in a RICO case...he even vanquished President Clinton. Once in DC, Traficant became infamous for his polyester suits, shock top wig, and profanity laced rhetoric against the FBI, IRS, and every president. The self proclaimed "son-of-truck driver" lampooned the hypocrisy of modern politics while standing tall for his blue collar steelworkers of Youngstown, Ohio.
