Description

"We are dealing with a politics that does not reward substance, that does not reward, you know, reality," the congressman said on CBS' "Face the Nation." Meijer was defeated by John Gibbs, a 2020 election denier backed by former President Donald Trump. Gibbs will face Democrat Hillary Scholten in the general election. (One word: Trump. Trump has changed politics, and not for the good.)
