Mr. Gosar embraced the fraud claims so closely that his chief of staff, Tom Van Flein, rushed to an airplane hangar parking lot in Phoenix after a conspiracy theory began circulating that a suspicious jet carrying ballots from South Korea was about to land

Liz Cheney smacked GOP Rep. Jim Jordan's hand away when he tried to escort her during the
Capitol riot, telling him,'You fucking did this.'
If proven to be true why should any of these people be allowed to sit in Congress. They supported a violent coup whose
purpose it was might have been the killing the Speaker of the House and the Vice President, cause massive violence and
bloodshed, in order to allow Trump to declare martial law in and stop the Constitutionally mandated peaceful change of power.

I have to admit that Perrys name didnt jump off the page for me. I didnt even know the state he represented.
Looks like hes been doing some projection as of late though:

GOP Rep Unleashes Islamophobic Attack on Ilhan Omar in Response to Bill to Fight Islamophobia
A Republican lawmaker launched an Islamophobic attack on Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) on Tuesday in response to a bill she co-sponsored seeking to fight Islamophobia. Rep. Scott Perry (R-PA) was blocked from speaking on the House floor after he accused Omar, one of only a handful of Muslim members of Congress, of terrorist sympathies, The New York Times reports. American taxpayers shouldnt be forced to pay terrorist organizations, organizations that the maker of this bill is affiliated with , Perry said, apparently in reference to the Muslim civil-rights group Council on American-Islamic Relations previous honoring of Omar. The bill, which would set up a new special envoy position in the State Department to tackle Islamophobia, passed 219 to 212 late Tuesday despite Perrys attack. His comments followed fellow Republican Lauren Boeberts portrayals of Omar as a suicide bomber in comments to supporters and dubbed her a member of the jihad squad.

(60,320 posts)Now we know why.
On January 11, 2021, tRump presented Jordan and Nunes with the Medal in a private event with no press.
And now Nunes is tRump's last get-rich-quick scheme.
