Who is the worst person in Congress right now?

I'm not counting the Senate because we could go all day. This is strictly representative and there's plenty of competition for that title right now. My money's on Boebert (with Gaetz and Greene a very close second), but there are plenty of other worthy competitors. Who's the worst? Most of my choices on this poll are directly related to last week though I'm sure there's plenty of egregious offenses out there.

Sex, guns, and liquor what could go wrong?

BTW Boebert is big into "her bible" too.

"Politicians hide behind 3 things - the flag, the bible, and children. I consider those things to be symbols and I leave those to the symbol minded."

But yeah booze and guns, what could go wrong?

Drunk, horny, and with guns. All the time men are being teased with scantly clad young women.

BTW I like women, some drinks, I have hunted (although my hunting dropped way off after
Sandy Hook), and owned guns for years.

And I definitely know how to operate a gun, I know which country I live in. I just wouldn't get all of those things mixed up at the same time, something could end very badly!

I will say that I think Gohmert is legitimately too stupid to know better. I think most of them know better and choose to be the way they are.

dung, poop, manure... Boobert is definitely awful, but I'm thinking we may find worse once the investigations are fully underway.

who can't keep his caucus in line and who seems to have no opinions other than that Kevin McCarthy should be the Speaker. He's the enabler, a Mitch wannabee.

Jordan, Nunes, Issa (how did that clown get elected again?), Gaetz are all deplorables. I think this year will see Boebert, that Green woman from Georgia, and Cawthorne in a three-way race for worst new-comer of the century.

I voted for Matt Gaetz. But it was not an easy call, and a strong argument can be made for many other people.

Being from Ohio, I want to vote Jordan, but that's because it's personal.

When all of the collusion plots are exposed, his level of knowledge and complicity will determine whether Moscow Mitch retains his spot.
