GOP congressman pulls ridiculous new stunt to suck up to Trump

By Emily Singer -
April 11, 2019

Rep. Matt Gaetz, who has said his purpose for being in Congress is to protect Trump, introduced an asinine bill attacking one of Trump's biggest Democratic foes.

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) really will do anything to earn the affection of Trump.

On Wednesday, Gaetz filed a childish and asinine bill to taunt Rep. Adam Schiff, the California Democrat and chair of the House Intelligence Committee who is working to ensure Trump is held accountable for his campaign's Russia-related crimes.

Gaetz titled the bill the PENCIL Act, an homage to Trump's juvenile "little pencil neck" nickname for Schiff. It aims to revoke Schiff's security clearance and thus his access to highly classified material that he's privy to, thanks to his position as chair of the Intelligence Committee.

Getz's reasoning for revoking Schiff's security clearance is that Schiff can "no longer be trusted by his colleagues in Congress or the American people" because of Schiff's "blatant bias" against Trump.

These idiots are so short sighted. As painful as this is now. There will be life after Trump. Where do they think their careers will be when Trump is no longer in the White House?

in putting up such nonsense? I hope that his voters are outraged at this nonsense instead of him working on everyday issues, such as job security, wages, taxes, infrastructure, ACA improvements, the list can go on forever, there are lots of things that serious members of Congress need to address.

What a joke.

I love the description Emily Singer ascribed to the so called legislator's effects...

"a childish and asinine bill"
