Seems insane to me that an elected official can go MIA for close to a month and it’s business as usual.
And he’s still MIA! Still no one’s seen him, all we’ve seen are a series of “statements” that he supposedly wrote, released by his office, and janky photos that are highly likely to be AI.
He’s got to be dead, or brain dead. Considering they could make it all go away just by letting him show his face for two minutes, it has to be that he’s incapable of doing so.
He’s not even the first. Tom Kean, a Republican rep from NJ, stayed absent for just under four full months earlier this year without explanation and then blithely explained it as “treatment for depression.” But he’s still running for reelection in November.
And then these same people will shoot down a minimum wage increase, saying “if you want more money work harder.”
It’s been more than a month. This Rigor Tortoise has been gone since JUNE 14TH.
