A MAGA congressman faced online roasting after he went on a bizarre rant about President Donald Trump being a “very special baby.”
Rep. Troy Nehls (R-TX) told a reporter, “Donald Trump is the best thing to happen to this country in a hundred years,” but his flattery didn’t stop there.
“He was born a very special baby,” Nehls said. “I bet the doctors said, ‘I can tell this is a very special baby.’”
Online commentators were taken aback and jumped on the chance to mock the GOP congressman.
“Even in Pyongyang they must be looking at this and wondering WTF,” Tom Nichols, a staff writer for The Atlantic, wrote, referring to the capital of North Korea.
“I spit my coffee out!” national columnist Sophia Nelson admitted. “Lmao. It’s. A. Cult.”
Ex-GOP congressman Joe Walsh agreed, writing, “My. Former. Political. Party. Is. A. Cult.”
“Congress is literally Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby,” Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-FL) posted, referring to the 2006 Will Ferrell comedy.
“He then added: We’re not a cult,” quipped writer and podcaster Hemant Mehta. “Don’t say we’re a cult.”
Rep. Jim McGovern (D-MA) simply posted “Ew.”
“They are such a naturally submissive group, these MAGA politicians,” podcaster John Iadarola joked.
“I can’t believe these guys have wives that see this,” author Jack Jokinen wrote.
