U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet recently celebrated the two-year anniversary of that time he bought a one-day fishing license to pose as a fly-fishing enthusiast for a 2022 reelection advertisement.
PeakNation™ could never forget the hilarity that ensued once Bennet was busted in this whooper of a fish tale.
That pasty white politician only waded into the stream long enough to get video for the commercial and have his picture taken while barely touching a fish the other guy obviously caught.
The campaign was forced to confess to the one-day ruse where the Arkansas River was used as a prop for Bennet.
The short-lived ad cost $600,000, earning more mockery from national press coverage than respect from Colorado voters.
The one-day fishing license cost $14.46. A real fisherman would have coughed up the extra five bucks and change for the $20 annual license.
Bennet marked the two-year anniversary of the fly-fishing license by reusing a photo from that fateful day to pretend once again that he’s an avid outdoorsman and fisherman to mark National Public Lands Day.
Happy #NationalPublicLandsDay 🏕️
Our public lands are central to our way of life and heritage as Coloradans.
We owe a deep gratitude to those who preserved these lands and a responsibility to protect them for future generations. pic.twitter.com/SQIcobbyFu

But in all likelihood, Bennet was already in Columbus, Ohio pretending to knock on doors for U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown, who has been a member of Congress for more than 30 years but wants another six-year term.
Knocked doors at my first apartment in Columbus, Ohio yesterday.
No one was home but I was glad to see @KamalaHarris and @SherrodBrown signs in the window! pic.twitter.com/Z1AdvXT1aH
