Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz wears gas mask during vote to address new coronavirus

[groundloop]

Source: ABC News

As the House of Representatives voted on a $8.3 billion emergency measure to fund the administration's response to the new coronavirus, one lawmaker caught the attention of Capitol Hill when he wore a gas mask onto the floor.




Just before the vote, Gaetz, not hiding his disgust, referred to the House floor as a "Petri dish."

"Essentially the floor of the Congress is a Petri dish. We all fly into these dirty airports, we touch and selfie everyone we meet, and then we congregate together," Gaetz said.

A statement from Gaetz's office added, "If there’s anybody that’s going to get coronavirus it’s going to be the United States Congress. House rules do not explicitly allow medical headgear even at this time of heightened concern. This is a rule that should be revisited."

What The Fuck ????????

[sakabatou]

1. Gaetz is just looking for attention like the troll he is

[Haggis for Breakfast]

33. Baby Gaetz is a media whore.

If he had a real clue, he'd be wearing a respirator mask with dual filters. He looks like he's prepped for an attack of mustard gas.

[edbermac]

2. Just helps to stop the overpowering stench of his bullshit.

[Yeehah]

21. LOL

[Ingersollman]

37. I

always called Donofrio's character "The Leaner". You knew when he started to lean on someone, the jig was up.

[TheCowsCameHome]

3. He must have been kissing Trump's ass again.

[greenjar_01]

4. What a dick

[Talitha]

5. Best he's ever looked, IMO.

[TheCowsCameHome]

11. He looks like an anteater that rear ended trump.

[dem4decades]

6. I'm on a fishing site that's very conservative and it had a thread on the coronavirus.

I thought it would be a lot of posts about it being a hoax but one of the members posted that he's older, and has a very compromised immune system. Her figures of he'catches iit he's done so he's stocked up and is preparing to more or less shelter in place as the virus threat grows in his area.

If this virus turns into a pandemic, everyone will want a leader that knows what they're doing.

[llmart]

7. Gaetz - showing the world the ass he really is.

What a weirdo in a party of weirdos.

[Atticus]

8. Please try to be understanding with Matt.

If you had his face wouldn't you use any excuse to wear a mask?

When not at work, I understand he favors a hood.

[tanyev]

9. Well that doesn't look like he's taking "great comfort" in Trump's leadership.

[Grokenstein]

28. "Best scientists in the world" that they refuse to listen to.

"An outstanding job informing the public and keeping us prepared" by lying about the seriousness of the issue.

"this coordinated response" that has all the coordination of an angry hippo with a serious brain injury.

...Yeah, we'll be fine.

[SoCalNative]

10. Hopefully he's the first to contract it

then passes it along to all of his republican colleagues.

[keithbvadu2]

12. Are there any House rules that explicitly prohibit medical headgear?

Are there any House rules that explicitly prohibit medical headgear?

1. Yes - good point, Matt. Keep it on. All day, every day.

2. No - Keep it on. All day, every day.

D'ya suppose Matt has any clue that there are various filters for gas masks?

[riversedge]

13. What kind of gas will be sprayed on the House floor? Why a gas mask.??

[Traildogbob]

14. Ass dwiller

He no has germaphobe concerns while sliding his head up the Petri Dish ass of trump that never wore condoms while pushing his mushroom into all the vaginas he grabs. Does he lube that mask before entering dear leader?

[paleotn]

15. I hope P-cola is proud....

of subjecting us to this monumental asshole.

[Sneederbunk]

16. I bet 20 bucks he had a beer in there.

[turbinetree]

17. I just gotta ask a question did he wash his hands............................

[EarthFirst]

18. What the fuck is "selfie everyone we meet...' ?

A selfie is a self captured image of oneself...

It’s not a social greeting that involves physical contact as implied by Gaetz.

Although I suppose this is the least odd aspect of this situation...

[iluvtennis]

19. What a dick.

[Kid Berwyn]

20. He's his own prop.

Tool.

[Skittles]

22. yeah that installs confidence

what a dick

[Yeehah]

23. A cowardly buffoon

Amazing that people vote for dirtbags like Gaetz.

[UpInArms]

24. Can someone photoshop him

With the trump quote about not using masks?

[Marie Marie]

25. That ought to piss Trump off - bigly.

Trump is trying to downplay the danger while this tool is hiding behind a mask. His master will not be pleased.

[Grokenstein]

26. Does make a nice contrast with Generalissimo Corpulente's gibberish, though.

Don-Don: "Fake news! Hoax! Good for economy! Obama! Soros! No one has done more! Than me! For coke can virus!"
Gitz: "B'AAAAH!! DO NOT TOUCH ME, FILTHY SUFFERERS!! GET BACK!! BACK, I SAY!"

[ms liberty]

27. Good news Matt, you asswipe. We provide you with the best healthcare

In the nation. And you laugh at us for wanting it for ourselves and our children. So have a nice big cup of shut the fuck up, and crawl back into the primordial ooze from whence you came.

[sheshe2]

29. Darth Gates on the House floor.

[NRaleighLiberal]

30. republicans. fear. bullshit. ignorance. period.

[howardmappel]

31. Gaetz is safe

Even a coronavirus has standards.

[Mr.Bill]

32. He'll have to take it off soon when the alcohol craving becomes unbearable.

[Ellipsis]

34. ...

[sarcasmo]

35. #Floridaman making a fool of himself on the House Floor.

[Scarsdale]

36. People actually vote for this childish clown?

Does the mask cut down on the alcohol fumes? He is one of those "lucky gene" recipients. Daddy gets him out of any mess he gets himself into. How is the ethics investigation on him going? I think he does look better in a mask.

[DBoon]

38. Has Gaetz been drinking again?

rhetorical questions.

"When was the last time you were sober"

[padah513]

39. Hey!!!

Look at me!!!

[iscooterliberally]

40. That's one way to improve his looks.

Honestly I'm surprised that they make a gas mask large enough to fit over his huge block-head.

[BlueIdaho]

41. I'm sure he's safe

Since he’s at least 60% alcohol...

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

42. "Look at me!!!!" cried the horse's ass.
