30+ year political hack. Only in office b/c of gerrymandered districts in Texas. Chair of House Science, Tech. & Space Committee. Smith is anti-science; huge climate change denier; and believes modern medicine is not as powerful as prayer. Let the quack speak for himself: ""The national liberal media won't print that, or air it or post it," Smith said. "Better to get your news directly from the President (Trump). In fact, it might be the only way to get the unvarnished truth."
