1. Tubby?

There are so many better names to call him. Tubby doesn't track as well as, say, Crazy Jesus Freak.

It is so fun watching them blow up.

enter a shit hurling contest.

3. Tinky Winky?

Perhaps VanOrden was slyly referring to the TeleTubby character, Tinky Winky, who, the late Rev.Jerry Falwell insisted was a stealth indoctrination and acceptance of "homosexuals" into society.

6. Yep. They think "gay" is an insult. It's a way to call him gay without saying gay.

[Earth-shine]

8. I thought that too. It seems more likely than calling him "fat."

4. Speaker Johnson does not look fat in pictures. Is he?

5. He looks fine to me

Especially compared to TFG.

7. Van Orden claims he called Gaetz "tubby" instead of Johnson, but since he is a drunken lunatic, who knows?

He's as kooky as any of them, and he can't control his temper.

He is the legislator who screamed at some Senate pages in the Capitol rotunda, calling them jackasses and pieces of shit and to get the fuck out.
