Republican Sen. Eric Schmitt's (R-Mo.) "accusation that the U.S. military has lowered its standards due to diversity, equity and inclusion programs was spectacularly undermined by a typo on a poster behind him."
What can you say? We'll be putting up with this idiocy for the next 4 years.

Well Lookee Here
The second photo in this Huff story shows a man in a white shirt seated in this panel. He's U.S. Senator Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) and yes, I've spelled his name correctly. He's the doofus who challenged a labor leader to a physical fight during a Congressional hearing, standing up to head for the official before being chastised to sit down. Thank you, Bernie Sanders.
Ex-military and in good shape, Mullin's always spoiling for a fight. And yet, he was the subject of a Jan. 6th photo him literally cowering behind the desks in the Senate chamber as rioters approached. Oh...and...I guess he was too busy lifting weights to learn how to spell. (Why DO all the serial killers have names like, "Markwayne?")
