Rep. Pat Fallon (R-Texas) said Monday he does not “make much” of reports that allege crew members aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln are suffering from declining mental health and supply shortages due to its long deployment.

In an appearance on Fox Business’s “Mornings with Maria” anchored by Cheryl Casone, Fallon, a member of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, responded to the reports and calls for congressional oversight into the physical and mental state of crew members on the ship.

here's a photo of what it looks like when Pat Fallon (R-Texas) DOES make much of something. in this case, he was mad at a secret service honcho for being in a photo that was taken at an event, accusing this secret service guy of endangering their principles by "breaking protocol" and "endangering the detail" so he could be caught in a photo and raise his profile.

the red circle is the guy he's accusing of trying to get famous. don't recognize him? he was the Acting Director of the Secret Service, Ronald Rowe Jr. here are some side by side pictures of them telling the other one that they're politicizing 9/11 and abusing their position to raise their own political profile.

in summary, this is the type of thing Pat Fallon "makes much" of. not like, whatever the eff is happening with the undersupplied, self-sabotaged and suicide prone carrier persecuting the epstein war. it would legit be hilarious, with all the denials of reports at this point, if something really crazy happened with that dumb ship running aground or having to be evacuated or scuttled or towed away or some other embarrassing shit.
