Senator Bob Smith of NH whose term ran from 1990-2003 is infamous - widely regarded as the stupidest senator in Congress. I offer the following:
Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) said that he can’t comment on allegations against Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) because bad weather has prevented him from reading the news, Business Insider reports.

Based on this, I would say he’s hell bent on supplanting Smith and wants to kick him to stupider so he, Tuberville, can become stupidest.
