"It's my absolute honor to be in Congress, but I serve with some real scumbags," Gonzales said in a CNN interview earlier this year. "Matt Gaetz, he paid minors to have sex with them at drug parties. Bob Good endorsed my opponent, a known neo-Nazi. These people used to walk around with white hoods at night. Now, they're walking around with white hoods in the daytime."

My comment to him?

"You vote with them and for their principles. Thus you have zero room to cry about how much of a scumbag they are, because you're the same through both action and association."

My comment to them?

"If the shoe fits, assholes, wear it."
