He described evolution as ?
just a theory?.
He is obsessed with gold and wants to return to some kind of gold standard.

He borders on the conspiracy mindset with concerns about NAFTA and the supposed North American Union.
He sponsored the
We the People Act where he for the most part pretends the 14th Amendment does not exist.
He?s ignorant of the
Founding Fathers? views on religion.
