Matt Gaetz of Florida had his ass handed to him yesterday (on Fox News, nonetheless!) for that spectacle he made at the nation’s capital last month when he wore a gas mask to mock the coronavirus hysteria during an emergency floor vote.
On March 4, Gaetz made a big show of wearing a gas mask during a floor vote for an emergency spending bill to combat the virus. Two days later, one of his constituents, a man in his 70s, died of COVID-19.
Less than a week after that, Gaetz himself entered self-quarantine after potentially being exposed to the virus at CPAC.

Yesterday, 37-year-old Gaetz, who doesn’t believe in same-sex marriage and was once arrested for drunk driving, appeared on Laura Ingraham‘s show, where he was taken to task by Democratic strategist Chris Hahn.
During the heated exchange, Hahn criticized Gaetz for accusing Democrats of politicizing coronavirus after the stunt he staged with the gas mask.
As the two agued, Hahn yelled, “I hope you lend [the mask] to your constituents so they can show up and vote, Matt!”

Gaetz replied by accusing Democrats of voter suppression in Wisconsin because they tried to postpone the state’s primary, as many other states have been doing, to limit the potential spread of coronavirus.
As soon as Gaetz said this, Hahn responded, “Buddy, you shouldn’t be talking about people dying. Because people in your district saw you making fun of [the coronavirus] and took this less seriously and may have been infected as a result.”
“You are responsible,” Hahn raged. “You should be resigning from Congress, sir!”
Watch.

Look at the sallow skin and puffy face. Gaetz clearly hasn’t stopped hitting the bottle, and more besides. And should any Republican be grand standing on voter suppression when their party leader gave away their play book and admitted that republicans don’t want widespread voter participation?

And media will never point it out. Just like when they kept talking about John Boehner’s “tan” and the fact that he was so sensitive he would cry at the drop of a hat…… Well combine that with his constantly watery eyes and it was obvious that the guy was constantly drunk while at work.

Before the virus, Gaetz had access to hair stylists and make up artists who made him look good. But after he came in contact with people who tested positive, those make up artists and stylists probably don’t want to come near him.
On a side note, a few months ago I watched a documentary about Robert Chambers, the “preppy killer”. When he was shown from certain angles he looked a lot like Matt Gaetz to me. Just an observation.

Gaetz should be forced to spend a day in the ICU watching Covid patients gasping for their last breath on a ventilator! He’s a true pig, and I pray in the next election his ass gets voted out!

Dear RobF…I thank you for your passionate and spot on comment. I could not agree more!
OhHellNo
To be fair, if you spent all day every day licking Trump’s pucker, you’d need a gas mask too.

Very intense though. LoL!
PLAYS WELL WITH OTHERS
Anything to gain favor with the Orange Führer.

The shit stain Robert Chambers look-a-like (thanks keebler) is laughing while lying his ass off because he knows the fox viewers so well.
