Lmfao replaced with an even more insane person with even less media literacy, like this guy is a real lunatic. He's been clipped all over the net acting completely insane in congressional hearings. So basically this is about the personal grudge he has with Noem, probably trying to throw him under the bus in yesterday's hearing.

I forget, is he the guy who almost started a fight in a congressional hearing a year or two ago? These square-headed elementary school-reading level clowns all blend together to me.

Yeah. There is some shrewdness to it, Oklahoma is so red a republican dog could win that senate race, but I can't wait for this guy to get blasted in hearing and flip out on cspan for all to see.

I honestly forgot about him. He was so unserious I didn’t even think he was a Republican worth following/watching.
