Actually, no. Rep. Steven Smith isn’t an elected official, nor does the 15th congressional district he claims to represent exist. The Twitter account has managed to fool quite a few, including “Daily Show” co-creator Lizz Winstead. How could she not respond to this reply?
When God closes a Fred Phelps, he opens a Cliven Bundy.

@lizzwinstead @RoninMara Oh gee, now you're attacking a poor man who Obama persecuted? I think I've heard it all. #Disgusting

@lizzwinstead @RoninMara The good Lord created all of us, including people like Barack Obama. We need to show more understanding. #Smith2016

@twh @lizzwinstead @RoninMara The reality is that Obama sent in an army to collect a grazing fee. #PoliceState #LiberalLies

@WhakoDog @twh @lizzwinstead @RoninMara An army to collect a bill? If you approve, move to North Korea.

[Update]
The tweet calling “Rep. Steven Smith” an elected official is gone, but not forgotten. Doesn’t Ms. Winstead know by now that Twitchy is forever?
