At the Farmfest governor forum six days before the primary, Lindell closed with a satanic statue, a false claim about Amy Klobuchar and a documentary, and an $80 million boast from a man who tells judges he's broke.
The House Majority Whip told Fox Business that Americans just have a 'perception' problem. Federal data says eggs cost $2.14 a dozen and milk is $4.32 a gallon — more than double what he claimed.
One Nation, the Senate GOP's dark money arm, runs at least six websites that look like local newspapers. They exist to flatter Dan Sullivan, Susan Collins, Jon Husted, and Ashley Hinson — and the ads that push them never say who owns them.
A governor, an attorney general, a state bill and a 50-member congressional caucus have all mobilized against a Sharia takeover. In Arkansas it traces back to a hate group's blog post and a small subdivision that's been there for two decades.
Minnesota's House Speaker bragged that her caucus worked with Nick Shirley on his viral daycare fraud video. Shirley said it was completely false. State inspectors found children at nearly every center in the video — and thousands of federal agents showed up anyway.
The fourth-ranking House Republican told POLITICO the secret to her job is honesty. In the same interview she floated a false claim about Social Security — and a month later she told a Michigan mother there were no cuts to Medicaid, then voted for the bill that cut it.
Michigan's Tim Walberg pushed the birther conspiracy, suggested impeaching Obama to force out his birth certificate, and still wouldn't accept it months after Obama released it. Nine years later, impeachment was suddenly a sacred thing Democrats were abusing.
In July 2021, as Missouri led the nation in COVID cases, Jason Smith told his constituents Biden wanted to knock down their doors to force vaccines on them. Weeks later he admitted he'd taken the vaccine himself and that it works.
Lindell's 2021 Cyber Symposium promised '100 percent, non-subjective evidence' that Trump won. It produced no evidence, a $5 million arbitration award against him that an appeals court later threw out, and the platform he's running for governor on today.
