The congressman tried to attack CNN and the hearings, but only got an egg on his face.

The Florida lawmaker, like many of his Republican colleagues, was looking for a way to dismiss this month's hearings from the House committee presenting its findings about the January 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol.

He shared an image of a CNN discussion about Thursday's and said that the January 6th hearings are just for TV ratings.

Rep. Greg Steube removed his tweet calling CNN "The Communist News Network" who built "a full TV set where Abraham Lincoln's desk once stood" because was informed this what we the TV business refer to as a screen. pic.twitter.com/h7HLPEOFCa

After he became aware that CNN was using a digital screen in a studio and not actually setting up shop in the National Statuary Hall where Lincoln's desk was once located, he deleted his account.

The man waved three guns around during a virtual hearing on gun violence.

You can scroll down for the reaction.

Something that actually did happen: insurrectionists incited by Trump's Big Lie stormed the Capitol on January 6th, some carrying the Confederate battle flag. Many of those who tried to overturn an American election marched over the place where Abraham Lincoln's desk once stood. https://t.co/FdssYY4LXA

He may have deleted this tweet, but GOP Rep. Greg Steube will forever remain a moron.

He literally believed that Jake Tapper was anchoring his 1/6 Hearing coverage inside the Capitol and not in front of a green screen. pic.twitter.com/gp2hU5chXd
