Republican Congressman: “I serve with some real scumbags. Matt Gaetz, he paid minors to have sex with him at drug parties. Bob Good endorsed a known neo-Nazi. These people used to walk around with white hoods at night, now they’re walking around with white hoods in the daytime.”

I think the douche bags name is McGuire. State Senator who’s on Trump’s Leadership Team whatever that is. He spoke on stage at Trump’s rally in Richmond while Good stood in the crowd.

To my mind, he feels he's grifted enough so he can move on to a lobbying job or something. He endorsed Trump for 2024.

That fringe has been with us for a long time. It is coddled, promoted, and protected.

IDK who that is, but an R after his name is a clue.........He might not be a MAGAt, but I suspect he has done his share of damage to humanity as a "moderate republican." Women's healthcare, tax giveaways to rich folks, etc.--we know the litany.

What is it about the GOP that attracks these "chickens for Colonel Sanders" types? Is it just "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" mentality?
