Some real idiots and weirdos have served in the House of Representatives, but Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) takes the cake.
When it comes to choosing the dumbest senator of all time, Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) obviously takes the crown (and you should really read this article about him). Over on the House side, it’s much more difficult to choose because it has always been a place for colorful individuals… quite a few of them complete morons.
Take Hezekiah Buford (Whig-PA), who once bit off his thumb when trying to eat a hot dog. Or Philomon Sherman (D-TX), who accidentally married a sock puppet named “Mr. Wobbles.” And then there is Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA).
Hold on, time to come clean. We made up Buford and Sherman. Sadly, Greene is very real.
And, in spite of all of the wack jobs, oddballs, and idiots who have served in the House over the past two-and-a-half centuries, she is heads and (powerful) shoulders above the rest in terms of sheer stupidity, ignorance, and conspiracytheoryness.
Then again, it would be unfair to simply refer to her as an idiot just because she has never uttered an intelligible thought.
Because Greene is also nuts… and the fact that she is a member of the United States House of Representatives is a testament not only to the current radicalization of Congress but also to the fact that her voters can’t be too bright either.
