McClain, meanwhile, falsely claimed last year that Trump “caught Osama bin Laden,” the al Qaeda leader who was killed in a 2011 raid ordered by President Barack Obama.

Timmons has made some especially wild claims prior to landing his seat on the committee. In January 2021, he suggested that just before the 2020 election, rich people colluded with liberals and state and federal judges to manipulate election laws in swing states to make it easier to vote and more difficult to challenge the results of an election.
“These efforts were numerous, targeted, and in open contravention of legal norms,” Timmons said at the time.
The actions by liberals and judges were “unprecedented and unconstitutional,” he continued, and what made it more scary was that “Big Tech, the media and ‘pollsters’ piled on” to change the outcome of the election. All told, these factors were “drastically worse than the supposed (and debunked) ‘Russian collusion’ in the 2016 election,” he concluded.
None of this makes any sense. But it’s the conspiracy Timmons pushed right before voting to overturn the 2020 presidential election results based on Trump’s conspiracies about widespread voter fraud ― the same conspiracies that fueled a violent insurrection at the U.S. Capitol just hours earlier.
