From Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Niceley):

“Statements and controversies
2009
In 2009, Niceley was one of four Republican members of the Tennessee House to announce plans to join a legal action to force President Barack Obama to release his birth certificate and prove his citizenship.[3][4]

2012
During a Tennessee House committee hearing in February 2012, Niceley declared that coyotes had been introduced to Tennessee by the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA) for purpose of controlling the wild deer population, but had subsequently become pests that attack livestock. This allegation was investigated by PolitiFact Tennessee. PolitiFact determined that coyotes had arrived in the state naturally, without any involvement by the TWRA. Stating that Niceley had repeated an “urban myth” that had been debunked previously, PolitiFact characterized his statement as a “real howler” and categorized it as “Pants On Fire”, indicating a statement that “is not accurate and makes a ridiculous claim”.[5]

2017
Niceley rejects mainstream views of climate science. At a December 2017 meeting of the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), he told E&E News reporter Zack Colman: “I think the whole premise that carbon dioxide is a pollutant is flawed. It’s not a pollutant, it’s just as natural as oxygen. The trees and plants depend on CO2 just the same way we depend on oxygen.”[6]

2022
While speaking in favor of a bill that would make camping on any public property punishable by a $50 fine, Niceley cited Adolf Hitler as an example of someone who worked his way out of homelessness to “lead a life that got him in the history books.”[7][8]”

Yeah. Read that.

So Niceley is a bit of a nut, but not that much. The fact that Leftist online organizations say things like “rejects mainstream views of climate science” tells us all we need to know. Probably everything he’s ever said that was controversial was taken out of context.

Loomer needs to moderate her comments.

The fact that a State is trying to do this is rightfully pointed out as a problem. The unhinged little girl who is the Colorado SoS - Griswold - is trying to claim the same thing: that she can just label anyone an “insurrectionist” and take them off the ballot. So it’s definitely a dangerous road once you try to go down it. The NBC conditions should be clearly debated and defined at the Federal level and a way to verify them put in place that is not simply Nancy The Mafia Princess Pelosi signing a little paper that says “Barry izza ‘Merican!”.
