Lindsey Graham, Tommy Tuberville, Ron Johnson & Marco Rubio Are The First Gaetz Cheerleaders
Yesterday, a Trump transition team member, explaining Trump’s determination to get Gaetz confirmed (also Tulsi, Hegseth and RFK Jr), said “He wants to bend them to his will until they snap in half and then thank him for the privilege.” Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson, who says he doesn’t need to hear any evidence and that he’s voting to confirm Gaetz because he’s not a transsexual like Rachel Levine, an assistant secretary in the Department of Health and Human Services.
If you’re not conversant in dogmatic right-wing narratives, you may not be aware of conservative ideologue, Fox News fixture, think tanker and polemicist Ben Domenech. He was already spouting his right-wing creed as a teenage National Review columnist and sporadically in columns for every right-wing publication from the Washington Times to Human Events— and eventually for the Washington Post (although he was forced out in less than a week for plagiarism).He was a co-founder of The Federalist. And the intellectual engine behind the failed right-wing efforts to repeal ObamaCare. A speechwriter for Tommy Thompson and later for John Cornyn, he also worked in the Bush White House.
OK, so now you know who he is. On Thursday, he warned Republican senators that Matt Gaetz is a vile sex pest and that any senator who votes to confirm him owns that.
For any senators who haven’t been following the news since 2016, he begins by writing that he wants to be perfectly clear: “Matt Gaetz is a sex trafficking drug addicted piece of shit. He is abhorrent. His eyes are permanently rimmed with the red rings of chemical boosters. In person, he smells like overexposed Axe Body Spray and stale Astroglide. The fact that he boasted on the floor to multiple colleagues in the House of Representatives of his methods of crushing Viagra and high test Red Bull to maintain his erection through his orgiastic evenings is perhaps the least offensive of his many crimes against womanhood and Christian faith. The man has less principles than your average fentanyl addicted hobo. He likes them underage and he’s not ashamed about it. Matt Gaetz isn’t just your average extreme Florida MAGA Man, he’s a hypocritical ass with the worst Botox money can buy, pursuing an ever-thinner nose and higher cheekbones at every opportunity like a Real Housewife gone mad for fillers. Every Republican in Washington has an opinion about Matt Gaetz, and 99 percent of those opinions are ‘Keep Matt Gaetz away from my wife/daughter/friend and anyone I care about.’ He is a walking genital, warts included as a bonus. If I was merely attempting to count the number of women I know who have had bad experiences with Matt Gaetz, I would run out of fingers and toes. If you vote for him to be the Attorney General of the United States, you don’t just need your head examined, you need to be committed to a mental institution. The man is absolutely vile. There are pools of vomit with more to offer the earth than this STD-riddled testament to the failure of fallen masculinity.”
That was picturesque… but Domenech quickly pivoted to what he called just dealing with the facts. “Did Matt Gaetz transport an underage woman across state lines with the stated intent of her having sex with him and his friends? Yes. Did he later claim to Tucker Carlson that this woman did not exist? Yes. Does this conflict with the fact that one of his closest friends was convicted of having sex with this underage woman for pay? Yes. Are Gaetz and his orgy friends attempting to destroy the records— images, videos, etc.— from this sex party to protect his political future? Yes. Does this matter to Republicans? Who can say? Donald J. Trump has the best judgment in politics, of course he would never name a sex trafficking drug addled lying philandering piece of shit to be the Attorney General of the United States simply to avoid investigation. Or would he?”
…Here’s the real deal: “Matt Gaetz is the line for how we assess the Republican Party. If they are truly a cult of personality, beholden to Donald Trump in ways that we could not even imagine for a party that rejects cults and idol worship, they will approve this choice. But if they have a degree of independence, any kind of free thought, mindful of the fact that a presidency is four years but your career is forever, they will reject this choice so emphatically that it sends a very simple, straightforward message: you can be an absolute dirtbag wannabe pimp pounding dick pills and caffeine while you film your ‘girlfriend’ twerking on the gram, or you can be a Republican. The choice is yours.”
