23. That'd be my dumbass congressman disgracing himself publicly

Most of the time, the jerk just floats around in the backgrounds of awful acts and utterances by other members of the gop. That any words, sentiments, or mere presence can be attributed to him at all is a small miracle, because he doesn’t really show up in any meaningful way, ever.

Does he ever talk to constituents on my end of the 25th district? No. It takes 5 hours to drive the length of the gerrymandered district shaped like a mermaid tail. Get the picture? He doesn’t have to work for the people he serves - he’s just more grease in the republicon machine who does just enough to ensure government work$ for him and his. As the virus rages through the state, not even the meandering contours of the 25th ensures his electoral safety in the 2020 election.

I suspect he and yoho architected this verbal attack as a publicity stunt and both deserve every bit of blowback they receive. Rep. Ocasio-Cortez’s hour on the House floor was a stunning moment for every woman that has ever experienced such disrespect from a male colleague. Who has ever wanted to call out the men who’d rather engage in misogynistic ploys or tantrums than do competent work. It’s certainly happened to me in the corporate world, and not surprisingly, within my own family.

Am gonna go over and give a bonus contribution to Julie Oliver. Join me in giving williams the middle finger: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/julie-oliver-for-congress-1
