Freedom Caucasians leader Congressman Scott Perry became so obsessed with the “Italian satellites” bullshit in the aftermath of the 2020 election he started nagging former Trump White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows to get Donald on the phone with then-Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conti to try to arrest the supposed malefactors, according to text messages sent to Meadows and obtained by Talking Points Memo from the House January 6th Select Committee.
“Why can’t we just work with the Italian government?” wrote Perry at 11:44 PM on December 31st, 2020, evidently not enjoying New Year’s Eve enough to stop ruminating over some nonsense fantasy that a shadowy Italian defense contractor used military grade satellites to beam a signal into voting machines to flip the Trump votes to Biden. Two days later Perry wrote “Also, has POTUS been able to have a conversation with Conti? Can he move the ball today?” Meadows did not reply to either text, but he himself had asked the Justice Department to look into it at the time.
