Some facts: Gaetz's dad was prominent Republican Don Gaetz, president of the Florida Senate--which is how "Mugshot" Matt avoided losing driving privileges after a DUI despite refusing a breathalizer and binding law. He was given a +22R district to run in, as arranged by daddy.1/x

Matt Gaetz was recently rebuked by the Florida bar for his witness intimidation antics, when he tried to discourage Michael Cohen from testifying to Congress, saying Gaetz was "unprofessional, reckless, insensitive and demonstrated poor judgment." 2/x floridapolitics.com/archives/30356…

Matt Gaetz was literally the only no vote on an anti-human trafficking bill that passed the Senate unanimously and passed the House 418-1. 3/x

Matt Gaetz is widely-viewed as the intellectually weakest thinker in any room of the House not also containing Lou Gohmert and a bowl of moldy pudding.

He is a square-headed wrench constantly throwing himself into the works of the impeachment process. 5/x

Here Matt Gaetz is, as the front singer for his old (white) boy band, DU-ISIS, trying to disrupt testimony in a secure room in the House: 6/x

And here's Matt Gaetz's email, the night before Michael Cohen's testimony to Congress, trying to indimidate and silence the witness with threats. It's probably felony witness intimidation under 18 U.S.C. 1512(b) but it's not like Barr will prosecute... 7/x

The truth is, the only places Matt Gaetz has earned through his own conduct are on the propaganda-regurgitating slots on Fox and prison, but he was a well-born white guy with a kingmaker daddy in the @GOP who handed him a safe district.

He falls up. Our standards fall down. 8/8

Geez, even typing about Matt Gaetz lowers my IQ and grasp on facts.
