Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) on Thursday received a searing reminder of how he initially downplayed and mocked the threat of the coronavirus, which has now killed at least 16,000 people nationwide.
Democratic strategist Chris Hahn roasted Gaetz for the stunt on Thursday’s broadcast of “The Ingraham Angle” on Fox News.
Gaetz, who just days after wearing the mask went into self-isolation following contact with someone who’d tested positive for the virus, attempted to spin it as his way of demonstrating his concern.
But Hahn didn’t buy it.
The exchange then devolved into a shouting match and forced host Laura Ingraham to cut it short.
Twitter users widely cheered the criticism of Gaetz.
