It’s a good thing the Democrats re-took one of the chambers of U.S. Congress last November, so they could restore and be the “adults in the room.” Sunday, one of those esteemed “adults” discussed how he or she fantasizes about how punching Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) in the face.
“I should show you the texts from me and my brother every time he’s on TV,” the Democrat lawmaker said, according to Raw Story. “We rank him as one of the top two assholes in Congress. My brother said ‘he has the most punchable face in Congress.’ I said, ‘I thought Ted Cruz is still number one. He’s number two.’”
The Congressperson chose to remain anonymous for obvious reasons – it’s not exactly standard workplace etiquette to discuss physically harming a colleague.
Apparently, discussing which of your colleagues you’d like to punch the most is the way to restore civility to the hallowed halls of Congress, which was, according to the left, was lost when Republicans controlled the House and the Senate.
Gaetz responded to the piece on Twitter.
“This doesn’t encourage violence at all,” he said.
GOP Congresspeople have been and the party as a whole have been the subject of repeated violence committed at the hands of leftists. First, rabid left wing lunatic James Hodgkinson shot up Republican Congressional baseball practice. Later, Sen. Rand Paul (R.-Ky.) who was present at the shooting, was attacked by his socialist neighbor while mowing his lawn.
