Matt Gaetz Is Proof There's No Bottom to the Barrel

The Trump-stanning dolt from Florida had a message for Michael Cohen on Twitter.

ongressman Matt Gaetz, Republican of Florida, already has made quite a name for himself as an up-and-coming lunatic phenom in the order of a Louie Gohmert, a Steve King, or a Glenn Grothman. He's a dolt with a DUI arrest who's made his mark as the primary administration mouthpiece in the Congress.

He's not a member of the House Oversight Committee, which means he won't be sitting there on Wednesday when Michael Cohen comes by that committee to chat. This, Gaetz apparently reasoned, was an appropriate excuse to engage in a little witness intimidation and/or witness tampering on the electric Twitter machine anyway.

There is no bottom to the barrel.
