I wouldn’t normally publish another post in this series so soon after the last one, but Rep Gaetz’s (R-FL) remark is simply too deliciously absurd to ignore:
Movie star looks doesn’t mean shit when it comes to performance in these circumstances.
[Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL)] told [Steve] Bannon he would “absolutely” resign from Congress to fight for Trump on the Senate floor if the former president asked him to.
“I would leave my House seat. I would leave my home,” Gaetz declared. “I would do anything I had to do to ensure that the greatest president in my lifetime, one of the greatest presidents our country’s ever had, maybe the greatest president our country has ever had, got a full-throated defense that wasn’t crouched down, that wasn’t in fear of losing some moderate Republican senator, but that was worthy of the fight he gave to the great people of this country for four years.” [TPM]
Former President Trump must have been hooting with laughter at this statement. And what do the voters in Gaetz’s district think they’re doing? This ain’t a circus, voters. Selecting a Representative is serious business. Sending a clown just makes you look bad.
