Rep. Ryan Zinke (R-MT) is a new member of Congress who used to serve as Secretary of the Interior in the Trump administration. He was forced to resign after the department’s inspector general referred him to the Justice Department for ethical violations and lying to investigators.
According to Zinke, the “deep state” and federal government are trying to “wipe out” American cowboys.
Speaking on the House floor Tuesday, Zinke had this to say about his election to the House:
“Despite the Deep State’s attempts to repeatedly stop me, I stand before you as a duly elected member of the United States Congress and tell you that a Deep State exists and it is perhaps the strongest covert weapon the left has against the American people.”
But Zinke was just getting warmed up:
“There is no doubt the federal government Deep State coordinates with liberal activists and uses politicians and willing media to carry their water. The Deep State runs secret messaging campaigns with one goal in mind: To increase its power, to censor and persuade the American people.”
Then came the conspiracy theory about the assault on cowboys:
“Dark money groups funded by liberal billionaires and foreign investors funnel money to shell organizations and repeatedly attempt to destroy the American West. In many cases, they want to wipe out the American cowboy completely, remove public access to our lands and turn Montana into a national park.”
Yep, the feds are getting rid of the cowboys. But what Zinke failed to disclose is that someone stole was was left of his brain a long time ago.
