According to a report from Politico, Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) has tested positive for COVID-19.

Following reports that White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows had tested positive — along with other White House staffers — and it had been kept quiet, Gaetz reportedly fessed up that he also tested positive.

“GOP Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida told multiple people on Capitol Hill and in the White House that he too had contracted the virus,” Politico is reporting.

I mean, if he wants to stay true to his branding... and the claims that it's no worse than the flu... he should refuse the respirator.

If you go there to visit, and enjoy the beach, or just passing through, it seems a nice enough place. The under-belly of religious intolerance and racism is ugly. From women's health centers being blown up to American AND rebel flags adorning panel trucks filled with bible-waving morons to hidden back-roads with poor Blacks still occupying "I-swear-to-God" original slave quarters, the place is a mess.

Joe is President. My first presidential choice, Kamala Harris, is now Vice-President.

And Matt "Rick" Gaetz has COVID (kiss my Rick).


Think I'm going to go play the lottery.

Of course he's compromised by russian/libertarian rubles/dollars.

It'd be a real pity to watch him hack his way back to health (or otherwise.)

The virus is a hoax, and it went away on November 4.
Meadows and Gaetz are just trying to get a free day of sick leave.

the only one of them to actually die so far is Herman Cain, and apparently black lives truly don't matter to these people.
