Matt Gaetz and Marjorie Taylor Greene team up to be extra horrible together
When she’s not warning people about the government ‘zapping’ people for eating meat, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene uses her webcast, MTG: Live, to discuss other, totally made up issues facing the nation.During a recent episode, Greene sat down with her GOP colleague Matt Gaetz, who harshly criticized Democratic Rep.
Jamie Raskin on the basis that he can’t properly do his job in Congress because his son died by suicide.The anti-LGBTQ lawmakers were discussing the House select committee investigating Jan.
6, which includes Raskin, when Gaetz said:“No one would ever want to lose a child, particularly to suicide, and as a human being our hearts go out to him.
I think that he takes that trauma and he associates it now with his work in the Congress in such an interwoven way that he’s unable to do the Congressional experience outside of the dungeon of that personal trauma.”Gaetz added that he thinks Raskin’s loss makes him “look at everything in these very dark and severe ways” and that it “clouds his judgement.”Related: Matt Gaetz marks Pride Month by coming out against Drag Queen Story Hour“The country shouldn’t have to go through all that with him,” Gaetz, who is currently under FBI investigation for sex trafficking minors, said.As Gaetz gave his unqualified hot take on trauma, Greene nodded and “mmhmm’ed” in approval before calling Raskin a communist.Raskin has served in Congress since 2017.
