====Larry Craig====
On June 11, 2007, [[Senator]] [[Larry Craig]] was arrested at the [[Minneapolis]]-St. Paul International Airport in a sting operation aimed to [[entrap]] [[homosexual]]s.<ref>[http://msnbcmedia.msn.com/i/msnbc/sections/news/Craigtranscript.pdf Transcript of arrest interview] [http://www.break.com/index/senator-craig-police-audio-tape.html Audio]</ref> He then plead guilty using a mail-in form hoping to avoid public scrutiny. At an August 28, 2007 press conference, Craig attempted to back away from his admission of guilt. A judge denied his effort to withdraw his guilty plea, and Craig served the rest of his Senate term and retired from the Senate in January 2009.<ref>{{cite news|title=Sen.

====Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez====
Among numerous other unintelligent statements, [[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez]] in February 2019 took a quotation of Mussolini by Senator [[John Cornyn]] blatantly out of context, making it seem like he endorsed the [[socialsit]] dictator when he actually shared the quote to criticize socialists such as Ocasio-Cortez.<ref>Adams, Becket (February 26, 2019).

John Cornyn of endorsing Mussolini, because everyone is dumb]. ''Washington Examiner''. Retrieved February 26, 2019.</ref>
