Tuberville is a complete imbecile. That’s not a baseless ad-hominem attack - he’s established a solid, bipartisan reputation in the Senate as the densest, dumbest motherfucker who’s been elected to that legislative body in a long, long time.
It hasn’t been all that long since Louie Gohmert was in Congress.
Notice that the comment you're responding to specifically qualifies him as the dumbest person in the Senate. There's a lot more competition for "dumbest member of Congress" in the house. Boebert is still a representative (for now at least), after all.
Not to mention, Greene. And Gaetz.
Don't forget meat puppet Senator Ted "Cancun" Cruz!
While Bobert probably has a singular brain cell randomly impacting her skull forcing a vomit of nonsense from her mouth. Cruzy boy barely classifies as sapient even after he's been loaded up with whatever bullshit he's meant to unload into people ear cannals.
The difference is that Raphael Cruz is a Princeton and Harvard educated attorney who understands that he's unloading bullshit as part of a political grift. Boebert barely got her G.E.D. and truly believes every idiotic word that comes out of her mouth.
Well, in point of fact, Cruz actually appears to be somewhat intelligent, based on transcripts of private conversations he’s had. It’s just that he’s an asshole who had pretty much zero integrity. And everyone knows it.
Good point!
People keep naming others, but after hearing him say things like we don't want poets in the military and whit supremacy isn't racist, I think he's so fucking stupid he can barely breathe. He also insists people call him Coach instead of Senator, which is also unbelievably stupid.
He should be made to apologize to trees for wasting the oxygen they’re so kind to provide us with.
