Here are some of his "gems:"
“You know, our government wasn’t set up for one group to have all three of branches of government. It wasn’t set up that way, our three branches, the House, the Senate and executive,” the senator-elect said, apparently unaware that the House and Senate form one legislative branch and omitting the judicial branch altogether.
Additionally, he incorrectly asserted that Al Gore was president-elect for 30 days in 2000.
[Well, "national socialism," i.e., Nazism or German fascism]“My dad fought 76 years ago in Europe to free Europe of socialism,” he told the Daily News (it was fascism, not socialism).
And did he ever shit himself on what the Voting Rights Act was about:
Not.......a......clue.“You know, the thing about the Voting Rights Act is…it’s…you know…there’s a lot of different things you can look at it as,” he stuttered when asked if he supports extending the law. “Who’s it going to help? What direction do we need to go with it? I think it’s important that everything we do we keep secure. We keep an eye on it. It’s run by our government.”
