Go ahead and laugh. He would lose this race horribly but I do believe that with the right conditions and district, Mike Lindell could get elected to the House. And once there he would be a median member of the House Republican Conference.

"Hold Disney accountable?" The purpose of the Oversight committee is oversight of the government's activities, not random companies or people. It's why the investigation of Biden's son and brother made no sense. If Frost wants to probe ABC or Disney or whatever, he should be on Energy & Commerce.

Schmitt also bragged about his German ancestors arriving in the 1840s. I had Portuguese ancestors in California *long* before that. But I doubt he'd recognize the same claims to land he's winking at here, not that anyone should. But his reasons are, well, different
