Following the example of outgoing President Donald Trump, most Republican lawmakers have frequently dismissed the threat posed by the pandemic that's killed over 250 thousand Americans.

Congressman Matt Gaetz (R-FL)—a loyal follower of Trump—is one of those lawmakers.

In the early stages of the pandemic, Gaetz wore a gas mask on the House floor to mock those urging Americans to wear masks in public in order to stop the spread.

Gaetz has decried lockdown measures and amplified Trump's rampant disinformation regarding the virus.

On Thursday, 1,780 people died from the virus.

That same night, Gaetz attended a gala in New Jersey for the New York Young Republicans with over 150 other people, with nearly all guests violating New Jersey's mask mandate. The event was orchestrated in secrecy and the restaurant that hosted it has since been shut down.

Democratic New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy decried the event and sharply criticized Gaetz for attending it.

Watch below.

Murphy said:

"That guy in the middle, the tall, handsome fella in the gray suit, that is Representative Matt Putz - oh sorry, Matt Gaetz, and based upon his past performances, it is obvious being a knucklehead is not beyond the pale for him. He was actually Sarah Palin's backup act for this event. ... What a fool."

He continued:

"I hope you're watching Matt -- you are not welcome in New Jersey, and frankly I don't ever want you back in this state,"

Murphy repeated his reprimand of Gaetz on Twitter, and Gaetz soon snidely responded.

Twitter users shared Murphy's ire for the Congressman's recklessness.




Gaetz's attempt at shade was less well-received.





Officials in Jersey City are investigating the event.

TikToker's Viral Video Comparing Passages From The Bible To Socialism Has People Nodding Hard

America has spent centuries working out this whole church-and-state separation thing, and judging by literally any comment section involving the Bible and politics, we remain one toxic group project away from getting an F.

Comedian Danny Killea put that tension to the test in an August TikTok, quizzing viewers on whether a quote came from the Bible or a socialist leader. Standing beside a TV displaying his homemade quiz, Killea turned a simple slideshow into TikTok’s most politically dangerous PowerPoint presentation.

Someone Left A Hilarious Letter At The Grave Of The British General Who Burned Down The White House In 1814

A grave located in the Old Burying Ground in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, of a British military leader from Northern Ireland, who commanded in the War of 1812, has become a bit more popular as of late, especially with tourists from the United States.

British Major General Robert Ross was killed by a sniper during the Battle of Baltimore in September 1814 and his body was preserved in 129 gallons of Jamaican rum on a British ship so he could be returned to Ireland for burial. However, the Battle of New Orleans prevented that journey and he was instead interred in Halifax with full military honors on September 29, 1814.

MAGA Pastor Sparks Outrage After Claiming People Are Living In 'Insane Asylum' If They Think Women Should Be Able To Vote Or Have Jobs

Christian nationalist pastor Brian Sauvé was criticized after he claimed on his The King's Hall podcast that it's "insane" for people to believe that women should have the right to vote, be able to have jobs, or even live alone.

Sauvé made an appearance with fellow far-right pastor Eric Conn, who agreed with a social media post Suavé wrote about overturning the 19th Amendment, which granted women the right to vote.
