They both look like they’re really struggling to go through with the kiss. Was someone holding a gun to their heads off camera?
That’s Josh Hawley, not a… oooh, I see.
Apparently attended the same kissing school as Ben Shapiro.
That’s a joke photo, right? Like, they’re making a funny-kiss joke?
Woof.
That this is a letter exchanged between third parties lends it authenticity and sure makes it seem like Matt Gaetz is not in the best shape right now, politically.

I’m real skeptical of that letter being real. I wouldn’t put that much faith in it yet.

What a surprise. Another Republican that’s a rapist.

What is really surprising is that he resigned.
True, they typically get re-elected.
He may be one of the smarter chuds, and realizes doubling down on your dumb bullshit only seems to work for Trump.
#PizzaGaetz needs to trend!
Political activity
When Duggar was a teenager, his father, Jim Bob Duggar, was a two-term Republican member of the Arkansas House of Representatives.[19] Duggar has also been active in conservative politics; while running a car dealership he worked as a part-time political consultant in 2007 under the business name Strategic Political Services.[20][21] In 2008, he worked on the Republican presidential primary campaign of former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee. In 2012, Joshua Duggar addressed rallies for the Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania.[21][22]
From June 2013 to May 2015, he was executive director of FRC Action, a political action and lobbying organization sponsored by the Family Research Council.[3][20][21][23] When describing his position with the organization, he stated that he would be focused on “engaging the grassroots and taking the message of faith, family and freedom all across America”.[24] Family Research Council president Tony Perkins said that by hiring Duggar they hoped to appeal to more young people by tapping into the popularity of the Duggar family TV series. He further stated, “The big part of Josh’s focus is going to be building our grass-roots across the country”.[25] While working at FRC Action, conservative Republican candidates valued Duggar as a way to advance their messages to his constituents.[26] He campaigned for Republican Senate candidates in Kansas, Mississippi, and Virginia before the 2014 midterm elections.[26]
He described his family as the “epitome of conservative values”[26] and advocates for what he terms “family-centered” and conservative Christian right political viewpoints, including opposition to abortion, divorce, and gay marriage.[20][25] Joshua Duggar has been referred to as an “anti-gay activist” by GLAAD, a pro-LGBT rights organization formerly known as the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation.[27][28][29]
Well, that was certainly over-determined.
