Grade-schooler flips off Trump-loving Rep. Matt Gaetz

Florida Republican Matt Gaetz’s visit to a local middle school has gone viral thanks to a selfie posted by the Trump-loving U.S. representative.

“Stopped in for a quick civics lesson at Shoal River Middle School,” wrote Gaetz, in a Facebook post accompanying a selfie.

But in the photo a girl can clearly be seen flipping him off—Gaetz said that he did not noticed before posting it.

A woman who identified herself as the mother of the girl said she would be disciplined.

“As the mother of the little girl very disrespectfully flipping the ‘bird’, I will be dealing with her at home tonight! I absolutely have raised her better than this, and I promise this will NEVER happen again!” she wrote. “I have been dealing with her wanting to ‘fit in’ and I promise you, I am livid. Political views aside, this is completely unacceptable. Mr. Gaetz, I apologize on behalf of my daughter. I am very sorry this occurred.”

1. Rule of thumb for the times we live in: NEVER apologize to fascists. Ever.

3. the mother's statement makes it all about her.

even going so far as to apologize "on behalf of" her daughter.

how does that work exactly? if mini-unblock does something that i think calls for an apology, i ask him questions to make him think about what he did. if he doesn't clue in, i spell out that he needs to apologize. but in any event, *he* is the one who needs to apologize. it's kinda meaningless for me to do it, even if i claim it's "on his behalf". maybe especially if i claim it's "on his behalf".
