A reporter with The Intercept, Ken Klippenstein, decided to have a little fun with some conservative figures on Memorial day, convincing them that a picture of Lee Harvey Oswald in military uniform was his grandfather who is a big fan of theirs. “My grandpa’s a big fan of yours and is a veteran, he would be thrilled if you could RT this photo of him for Memorial Day,” he tweeted to MAGA Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), American Gaetz Conservative Union president and lobbyist Matt Schlapp, and anti-Obama documentary filmmaker Dinesh D’Souza. And they all fell for it.

Twitter lit up.
Sex trafficking statutory rapist Matt Gaetz, Matt Schlapp, propagandist felon Dinesh D’Souza and other vile GQP Seditionists were all “tricked” today into sharing a photo of Lee Harvey Oswald to honor him, you know, the terrorist who assassinated President JFK. That says it all.

Klippenstein then changed his Twitter handle to “Matt Gaetz is a pedo.”

Candace Owens said that the portraits of Oswald were photoshopped, even though Oswald was a former military member.
It is not “political correctness” to have a soul and a modicum of decency.
Reminder: These men DIED— the majority of them on foreign soil—so that you could be free. You do not photoshop murderers into their uniforms so that you can have a laugh.

Proving, yet again, what a low IQ moron he is, Matt Gaetz retweeted pictures of Lee Harvey Oswald, from an account called ‘Matt Gaetz is a pedo’.

It’s almost as if the MAGAs don’t know how to Google. Go figure.
