(34,136 posts)That's more than a fifteen hour drive, with no stops.
The article in the Pensacola News Journal said he was coming from National Harbor, Fort Washington, MD and said I slept in a Walmart parking lot somewhere off (Interstate) 85.
No indication as to what WalMart or what state or town. For his route I-85 leaves I-95 at Petersburgh, VA, goes around (or through) Atlanta and joins I-65 at Montgomery, AL.
Then, as he was nearing home, I couldnt stay in a hotel, he said from the car as he arrived in Okaloosa County at mid-morning Tuesday, where he plans to spend the remainder of his self-imposed quarantine. (Pensacola News Journal)
How did the News Journal know where to intercept him for the interview? They don't say. https://www.pnj.com/story/news/2020/03/10/coronavirus-matt-gaetz-florida-congressman-slept-in-parking-lot-to-avoid-infecting-others/5012695002/

(63,221 posts)Bullshit! He was bombed out of his mind and passed out. He didn't want anyone to see him in the condition he was in. What a joke!

If this is true, hes trying to stay in the news.

(8,090 posts)and couldn't risk staying at a hotel, so he slept in his car in a Walmart parking lot along 85 (?). That story makes sense, although drunk and passed out sounds *totally* Gaetz.

A definite WTF ....
Does this guy not have a home?
Is Gaetz a homeless bum?

(4,612 posts)Why wouldn't he just be in his house, again?
Did he just totally lose his shit when he realized what a fool he'd made himself?

(86,591 posts)Where does he sleep when he's in DC any other time? Under -45's bed?
Is he driving home to Florida?
Idiot.
