Matt Gaetz (R-FL) echoed on Sunday what’s become a familiar GOP excuse for the appearance of a large number of positive coronavirus cases in his state: more testing. But now, it’s not just more testing that’s to blame, it’s an uptick in “strategic” testing that targets areas where a high incidence of the virus is expected that has caused record-setting caseloads of the virus in the Southern state.
Gaetz is the Prince of Strategic Assholery. I didn’t have to look to know that it was Faux News interviewing him - everyone else seems to have learned their lesson and are keeping him at microphone length.
You know Matt, you could take the same enthusiasm you’re using to avoid the stigma of high case counts in efforts to get the testing up even higher to properly identify, contain and eliminate the virus.
I think those things are all very helpful,” Gaetz said. “But the absolute radical approach to shutting things down hasn’t worked really anywhere, and I don’t suspect that that will be the plan that we return to in Florida.”
It’s interesting that he can’t see a difference between reasonable public health measures like washing hands and “the absolute radical approach to shutting things down.”
Where the inkling from my comment above originated.
The Fox screenshot so reminded of Dan Ackroyd’s SNL Point/Counterpoint character.
Perhaps? More accurate had I gone with–
Gaetz is a combo “useful idiot” / “crash test dummy” / “advanced-scout -canary in the coal mine” / “Rodeo clown” for Trump …
Gaetz will say and do the stupidest Stuff imaginable … just bizarrely Tap-dancing down the path to crazy town… setting off the booby traps / creating distractions / blowing up confetti bombs filled with idiocy!
Go tell that to your filling hospitals you ignorant moron. I imagine that’s occurring due to strategic infections. There’s only one thing strategic in this failure of government and that’s ignorance. All of the Trump worshipers are strategically infecting anyone that listens. Matt Gaetz is the poster child for IGNORANCE!
