Matt Gaetz gets Punked into Retweeting a Picture of ‘Veteran’ Lee Harvey Oswald on Memorial Day

Matt Gaetz and his MAGA buddies don’t seem to know who their history. They could tell that they were retweeting a picture of Lee Harvey Oswald in uniform. If they were true patriots they would know what JFK’s assassin looked like. And certainly shouldn’t be celebrating him as a proud veteran on Memorial Day.

You can’t make this up

On Memorial Day, Twitter blew up as several prominent right-wing figures were tricked into honoring Lee Harvey Oswald, the gunman who assassinated President John F. Kennedy.

The ruse was pulled off by The Intercept reporter Ken Klippenstein, who shared a picture of Oswald as a young private first class to several conservative accounts with the request, “My grandpa’s a big fan of yours and is a veteran, he would be thrilled if you could RT this photo of him for Memorial Day.” Right-wingers who fell for the prank included Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), American Conservative Union president and lobbyist Matt Schlapp, and revisionist history documentary filmmaker Dinesh D’Souza.

Rapid school reopenings may have led to thousands of COVID cases, hundreds of deaths in Texas

The GOP are mass murderers:

A plan to rapidly reopen schools in Texas may have contributed to thousands of COVID-19 cases and hundreds of deaths, according to an analysis by economists and public policy experts from the University of Kentucky.

The analysis, which has not yet been peer reviewed, used a statistical model to estimate that roughly 43,000 people contracted COVID-19 and 800 people possibly died in Texas two months after schools reopened statewide, when virus transmission already was high.

Senator Romney: Capitol riot was ‘an insurrection against the Constitution’

Truth telling. He is obviously inspired by Liz Cheney. And you don’t have to like either one of them to support their voices in helping to destroy the current Republican Party leadership. That’s a good thing. Dividing the GOP is good for America:

Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) called the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol an “insurrection against the Constitution” as some GOP lawmakers sought to minimize the violence this week.

The comment came as several Republicans, including Reps. Andrew Clyde (Ga.), Jody Hice Norman (Ga.) and Paul Gosar (Ariz.), downplayed or made false claims about the attack.

…“I was there,” Romney said. “What happened was a violent effort to interfere with and prevent the constitutional order of installing a new president.”

“As such, it was an insurrection against the Constitution that resulted in severe property damage, severe injuries and death,” he continued.

Escort who snorted cocaine with Matt Gaetz had ‘no show’ government job: report

I think Gaetz is in a whole heap of trouble. And his mentor and leader can’t help him. No one can help him:

“When Rep. Matt Gaetz attended a 2019 GOP fundraiser in Orlando, his date that night was someone he knew well: a paid escort and amateur Instagram model who led a cocaine-fueled party after the event, according to two witnesses. The Florida congressman’s one-time wingman, Joel Greenberg, will identify that escort to investigators as one of more than 15 young women Gaetz paid for sex, according to a source familiar with the investigation,” The Beast reported.

The woman was identified by The Beast.

Watch Michael Flynn butcher the Pledge of Allegiance at a Lin Wood rally in South Carolina

Just like his master, Donald Trump, this disgraced military man can’t do a simple patriotic thing: the pledge of allegiance. They only do treason well:

Michael Flynn, the short-tenured national security adviser hired, fired, then pardoned by former President Donald Trump, appeared at a rally in South Carolina on Sunday to support pro-Trump attorney Lin Wood’s bid to oust South Carolina GOP Chairman Drew McKissick on May 15. Flynn led the Wood supporters, gathered at the Honkytonk Saloon in Ladson, in reciting the Pledge of Allegiance, after urging everyone to take off their hats and place their hands over their hearts. Then Flynn botched the pledge.

Matt Gaetz wingman penned confession letter admitting they sex trafficked a minor

I would say Gaetz is toast right about now:

The shocking and salacious scandals surrounding Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) escalated on Thursday.

“A confession letter written by Joel Greenberg in the final months of the Trump presidency claims that he and close associate Rep. Matt Gaetz paid for sex with multiple women—as well as a girl who was 17 at the time,” The Daily Beast reported Thursday evening.

The Beast obtained a copy of the confession letter.

Congressman Nunes buried evidence on Russian meddling to protect Trump. I know because I’m on the committee

This is a big deal even though the press isn’t covering it. A Congressman is accusing his colleague of Russian collusion:

No one really expected President Donald Trump, who benefited from Russia’s 2016 election interference, to counter that hostile regime’s active measures: Russia wanted him to win, and when they hacked, he invited them to hack more.

But America should have been able to rely on a united Congress to ensure that our next elections aren’t just as vulnerable if not moreso. Instead, due to House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes’ persistent and pernicious obstruction, America has been spectacularly let down.

Just last week, hours before the Republican-led House recessed for six weeks, Nunes broke out his shovel yet again to bury even deeper the evidence of Russian interference, once again demonstrating there’s no distance he won’t go to protect this president.

Republicans Have List of Trump Scandals They’re Covering Up

It’s all going to come out after January when the Democrats take control of the House:

Axios has obtained a list of Trump administration scandals. The list hints at the overflowing sewer of Trumpian corruption and incompetence, and the refusal of congressional Republicans to investigate any of it. Oddly enough, this list is being circulated by Republicans in Congress. The list, composed of Democratic requests for hearings that Republicans have blocked, is meant to warn of what Congress would look into if Democrats win the midterms. Axios reports that Republican “stomachs are churning” at the mere thought that any of the items on the list could receive a public hearing.
