Now if they could just get Cruz in a package deal they'd be golden.
I was going to suggest that they add Nunes for the perfect trifecta. Then I realized if you limit it to those 3 you're letting lying slime-like Gym Jordan, and the man who could easily be the stupidest, most hypocritical moron in Congress (Louie Gohmert) off the hook...
Obviously after all of the qanon conspiracy allegations there is more of a 'hypocrite busted' reaction.
It just once again goes to show that moral majority politics is a very tough game to play especially at the party level.
Feels like we spend more time and energy framing guys into a moral light which is why if you're a new politician, being aware that every single sentence fragment can be used against you in a clip and every appeal to a moral basis will likely blow up in your face.
What's next....MTG having an affair with a priest?
Speaking of MTG, turns out that She (and the aforementioned Gym Jordan) were the only GOP colleagues that leaped to Gaetz's defense. Jordan's tepid defense "I believe Matt Gaetz" was fairly muted compared to MTG's denouncement of the investigation as a "witch hunt" and inspired by (get this) "
conspiracy theories and lies like Trump/Russia collusion"...
MTG is being unintentionally ironic there, since she is an adherent of QAnon and they thrive on "Conspiracy theories". Turns out they are currently convinced that the ship that was stuck in the Suez was full of children being sex trafficked, and of course, it was the "Obama-Clinton" nexus that was to blame. The reasoning- HRC's Secret Service code name "EVERGREEN" and the recently freed ship (Ever Given) is owned by Evergreen Maritime Management out of Taiwan.
Of course beyond the lunacy of the Qtips trying to make that connection is the fact that Evergreen Management was established in 1968, and I'm pretty sure HRC was still a Rodham studying at Wellesley College. But you know the Qtip motto- never let FACTS derail a potentially useful conspiracy theory...
Btw, turns out many in the GOP viewed Gaetz as a scandal waiting to happen...
"Gaetz—the Trump-loving, Fox News-grinning, 38-year-old Florida Republican—has a less-than-sterling reputation among his congressional colleagues. More than a half-dozen lawmakers have spoken to these reporters about his love of alcohol and illegal drugs, as well as his proclivity for younger women. It’s well-known among Republican lawmakers that Gaetz was dating a college student—one over the age of consent—in 2018. She came to Washington as an intern. "
