Matt Gaetz Hails 'Testing President' Trump In One Of Most Sycophantic Tweets Yet

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) lavished praise on Donald Trump’s (widely panned) handling of the coronavirus pandemic on Friday, declaring him to be the “greatest testing President God has ever created” in an awkward tweet.

The GOP lawmaker’s outlandish claim was made in defense of Trump, who is receiving ongoing criticism over the lack of adequate testing in the U.S. for the virus that has killed more than 37,000 nationwide. Public health experts say a vast increase in testing is essential to slowing its spread.

Gaetz, whose Twitter bio features a positive comment that Trump once said about him, drew stinging criticism in March for downplaying and mocking the threat of the virus (in lockstep with the president) by wearing a gas mask on the House floor.

He provoked similar ire with this tweet.

Gaetz simply looks untrustworthy, much less the garbage he's been spewing.

Can't wait till the new Fox blonde starts taking the podium and proclaiming that Trump has never told a lie in his life. At that point, every reporter should walk out laughing.
