    Heard about this from Hemant Mehta. This guy is filling these wishful bill proposals knowing they are too extreme and that they won’t pass even in Oklahoma. So instead of, I dunno, working on legislation to help literally anyone in his state, he’s doing the congressional equivalent of trying to look busy.

    And make no mistake, he would likely love to see some of these passed into law, he just doesn’t care enough to try to break the system so that they could.

      He’s a congressional troll on the state level. No different from Boebert or Greene. Accomplish nothing but make a lot of noise. Basically the opposite of Republican hero Teddy Roosevelt.

        Yep! You’re thinking of the recent Tennessee story, except that one unfortunately passed.
