Gaetz undoubtedly returned to his office and yelled at his staff because *HE* didn't do his homework

[saulshine]

We have hit an all-time low, literally scraping the bottom of the barrel with these clowns.

[jeffbrown]

He made Gaetz look like the clown that he is!

[trebor]

Butthead probably cited The National Enquirer for his research papers in school.

[walterjohnson]

This is what happens when someone is looking for a gotcha moment rather than doing the research yourself to point and direct your line of questioning

[Teeveepicksures]

One of Gaetz most endearing traits is how self-assured he is in his absolute wrongness. 😂

[charyleemel]

Clearly, Florida GOP has a huge cluster of these horrific Republicans!

[koda]

I so love that this witness knew the source being cited and was able to 'fact check' immediately. 😂

Matt Gaetz, Jim Jordan, and Ted Cruz are all cut from the same sad cloth: they think they are much smarter than they are, and the strain shows.

He knew exactly what he was doing. He was hoping the other didn't know what was read to him. I like US Senators that don't use Chinese Propaganda to fool their colleagues.

[airigone]

What a beautiful week we've had!! First Trump, then Boebert and Gaetz fall on their misinformed faces in committee.

[evanholley]

That dude 100% knew where Gaetz was going and smirked while he dared him to go. Getting him to enter Chinese government propaganda into the record is legend status!

[darkwillis]

Wow, what a surprise! Another GOP politician repeating foreign propoganda to aid the GOP talking points. What patriotism!

[TheWolfers]

The sheer and utter bravery it takes to be so loud and so wrong at the same time.

[glennbennett]

These politicians need to held accountable on their job performance like everyone else. We would be fired

[deionford]

He didn’t unknowingly cite propaganda. That is just what the right does, they feed propaganda. Only difference is he got caught.

[hardryv]

Gaetz is like an article from the Onion manifested in reality.

[AllenTolbert-ldms]

Why is Gaetz asking this does he want to join🙄

[baconsenior]

Amazing! How these GOPs continue to prove their ignorance and embarrass themselves in public.

[knjns]

He is an absolute clown. Can’t believe they let him sit at the adults table with that foolish question.
