Matt Gaetz made a total ass of himself in front of an historically iconic figure today,
but it's just another Monday in Washington, D.C.
6/10/19
GAETZ: Let's speak now, to the truth or falsity of statements.
Do you have personal knowledge about the truth or falsity
regarding a single material fact in the Mueller report?
DEAN: I think if you recall, the first thing I said
I'm not here as a fact witness.
GAETZ: You're here to provide historical context.
DEAN: Exactly.
GAETZ: And throughout history, you accuse presidents of
acting like Richard Nixon and you make money off of it,
right?
DEAN: Not all presidents, no.
Those who do act like him, I point it out.
GAETZ: Let me ask you this question, how do Democrats plan
to pay for Medicare for All?
DEAN: I'm sorry?
GAETZ: Well, I figured if we were gonna ask you
about stuff you don't know about, we would start
with the big stuff, so do you know how they plan
to pay for Medicare for All?
DEAN: Who? The Democrats? Or, which candidate?
Or can you be more specific?
GAETZ: Let's get specific to Nixon, since that appears
to be why you're here.
DEAN: Well, actually, Nixon DID have a health care plan...
Oh, dear. That was absolutely brutal.
John Dean brought down the house with that one.
Gaetz attempted to recover by asking Dean if they
lit candles and brought in a ouija board, would that
resurrect the Spirit of Nixon, but it was too late.
Dean just deadpanned, "Uh...no."
and the audience lost it again.
