It was in both 2016, and in 2017, that “Fanatical Republican Extremist of the Day” posted profiles about Susan DeLemus, a member of the New Hampshire House of Representatives whose wide-eyed stare does not seem to suit someone of rational mind. That unsettling gaze does not belie her wackiness, by any stretch, as DeLemus is a passionate believer in the Obama Birther Conspiracy to the extent that she caused other legislators to lock themselves in their offices at points to avoid having to deal with her furious insistence that Barack Obama was not a legitimate president.
While during her first term in office, DeLemus supported a bill to sue the federal government for the Affordable Care Act, but in her second term apparently decided to just stop showing up to vote on bills altogether. Instead, it seems she was busy spending her time with her husband in supporting the domestic terrorists related to Cliven Bundy. Her husband, Jerry, is still in jail for this, and she unsuccessfully sought a pardon for her husband for Donald Trump throughout his administration...
That may be why she was rallying under the banner Donald J. Trump during the 2016 presidential race, pretending to be a “independent voter” in a CNN Panel until she was outed by some people who recognized her from her previous antics in the New Hampshire legislature. She believed many of Donald Trump’s most paranoid conspiracies even outside of the Birther movement… she also believed Cheeto Mussolini that there were "thousands of Muslims celebrating in Jersey City on 9/11". She also insists in that Barack Obama lies all the time and that Trump would never lie to us, as she herself lied right into the camera on CNN, saying she had "never been involved in politics" in spite of being a twice-elected state representative.
Oh, and in February 2016, after Pope Francis spoke and said that "people who build walls aren't Christian", she rose to the defense of The Donald by getting on Facebook to warn everyone that “The Pope is the anti-Christ. [sic] Do your research. I’m not sure who the Pope truly has in his heart.”
Susan DeLemus was booted from office by voters in 2016, when she was defeated by Democrat Chuck Grassie by 106 votes…But then she slid her way back into the office when folks had forgotten about her in 2020, and was repeatedly thrust back into the spotlight, reminding anyone and everyone that she is quite unwell. Perhaps that was best demonstrated when she personally went out to scream at pro-choice protesters at the state capitol in May of 2022:
