Guess this is what happens when you are dangerously out-of-touch with reality: soon-to-be-billionaire Stewart Mills III was caught in a red-handed lie – and forced to admit it – when he accused Rick Nolan, a U.S. Congressman, of funding terrorists.
Stewart Mills III knew he was in hot water when a reporter pressed, “Are you saying that a Congressman who swore an oath to his country, that he would protect the country, are you saying that Congressman Rick Nolan – is trying to fund terrorism organizations?”

Mills tried to backtrack, but the damage was done. Funny, since Stewart has no qualms about accusing others of lying, like when he lashed out at construction workers calling for Mills to pay them a higher wage at his own job site.

“Inheriting piles of money somehow gave Stewart Mills III the impression that he can say what he wants, when he wants, and face zero consequences, proving yet again how devastatingly out-of-touch he is with reality,” said Sacha Haworth of the DCCC. “Minnesotans know it isn’t nice to tell lies – but I guess Mills has to distract hardworking families from a campaign that’s all about protecting millionaires from paying their fair share of taxes.”
