The list of truly ignorant republican women who get elected to high office is long. Marsha Blackburn, Joni Ernst, Marjorie Taylor Green, Lauren Boebert, Kim Reynolds, and Kristi Noem are just some of the better known Einsteins.

The one thing all of them have in common is misplaced confidence. They actually think they’re smart. It is rather stunning when you think about it. They lack all humility or doubt. They burst with self-confidence while saying the most inane things. I don’t get where that comes from.
