Congressman Matt Gaetz (R-FL) is one of outgoing President Donald Trump's most loyal followers in Congress.

Gaetz's response to the pandemic that's killed over 300 thousand Americans and upended daily life in the United States reflects that.

The Congressman has frequently parroted Trump's lies that the threat posed by the virus is sensationalized by the media, and that safety precautions recommended by Trump's own officials—such as compulsory mask wearing and stay-at-home orders—are an effort by Democrats to stifle Americans' freedom.

In the early stages of the outbreak, Gaetz wore a gas mask on the House floor in what many saw as a move mocking protective measures. After one of his constituents died of the virus days later, Gaetz insisted that he was being "quite serious."

As recently as this month, Gaetz was admonished by New Jersey's Democratic governor, Phil Murphy, for attending a packed gala for the New York Young Republicans in defiance of local virus precautions.

Now, a new video of Gaetz partying maskless is circulating throughout the internet, featuring Gaetz singing karaoke, despite evidence that singing heightens the risk of virus transmission.

Watch below.

The tweet erroneously stated that Gaetz took one of the vaccines for the virus—which was recently offered to members of Congress—but Gaetz denied this before poking fun at his performance.

As usual, Gaetz was about the only one laughing.








Some conservatives felt Gaetz was leading by example, and cited their reasons for falsely believing the virus doesn't pose a threat to most Americans.



According to a Microsoft-Harvard live tracker, over 700 of Gaetz's constituents have died of the virus.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
