He didn’t steal it, he just took it for a walk around the Capitol.

Folks, you can’t make this 💩 up. Florida man strikes again. I love it. You think God doesn’t have a sense of humor? Ever go looking for your hat and it’s on your head, or wonder why you can’t hear because your air pods are in your ears. Seriously. I think God likes a great irony too.

Sounds like someone ELSE has a good case for libel against See: BS!

He didn’t “steal” the lectern, he MOVED it.

What was he charged and convicted for? Oh, right. NOT “theft.”

I hope he wins his race.

I’d have CBS donate to his campaign by suing them for libel. He didn’t steal anything. He moved it 20 feet.

Is that from 5 years ago? Does anybody at CBS know what is currently going on in Iran? Will they tell us if they do?
