Hung Cao, the fabulist and nutter replacing Phelan, is a good fit for Trump's Down the Rabbit Hole War.*

* During his Senate campaign in 2023, Cao said "witchcraft" had taken over Monterey, California and he did not want that to happen to Virginia.[30][31] In the same interview, Cao also said "I'm African American because I grew up in Africa, too," referring to a few years spent in Niger as a child.[32]

On June 24, USA Today reported that Cao had claimed in campaign appearances that "I'm 100% disabled, you know, because just from being blown up in combat many times." But he had not received either the Purple Heart or the Navy's Combat Action Ribbon, both of which would normally have been awarded to someone injured by enemy action. Cao declined the newspaper's request for clarification about his injuries.[33]
