Appearing on "War Room: Pandemic," the Northwest Florida congressman said, "If the [former] president called me and wanted me to go defend him on the floor of the Senate, that would be the top priority in my life."

(65,978 posts)he has a cush job being the loud mouth halfwit he's always has been. he gets paid for it and free health care.
he's a self promoting opportunist.
he's blowing smoke to look as if he stands for it.
but if push came to shove, he would be the first to back off and claim some bullshit reason not to.
whatever, matty.
