Matt Gaetz, who got a drink sloshed on him by a woman who objected to his presence on the planet, wrote the judge asking for the maximum sentence for her.

Based on your knowledge of ethical teachings down through the ages and preserved in writings some consider sacred, between Rep. Omar and Rep. Gaetz, who was more in line with those high ideals?

(If you're stumped for an answer, read Matthew (not Gaetz) 21 verses 28 through 32.)
