You can't make this stuff up.

No one licks Donald Trump’s shoes harder than Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.), and that showed after the Florida Republican lashed out during the hearing of the House Judiciary Committee to suggest that former President Barack Obama should be impeached. It was a jaw-dropping remark that Gaetz offered during his closing remarks after Constitutional experts testified in favor of impeaching his “president.” That was after he snapped at Harvard Law professor Pamela Karlan as she tried to answer his crazy-time questions.

Clearly, Gaetz is desperate — but he’s always been a douche, so much so that even children recognize that trait in him.

So, this photo Gaetz posted last year is making the rounds again on social media as a reminder.

Gaetz visited Shoal River Middle School in Crestview, Florida, and at least one little girl wasn’t happy to see him there.

Gaetz took a selfie with a large group of middle schoolers behind him, and if you look in the bottom-right corner of the photo, you’ll see our hero of the day giving him her middle finger.

A woman commented under the photo, claiming to be the child’s mother. She called it disrespectful, and said that she “will be dealing with her at home tonight!” She said that she is “livid” and she apologized.

Many commenters appreciated the girl’s gesture, though. One wrote, “At least one child saw the real you,” and added that “Y’all are acting offended, but she is still less crude than Trump.”

However, some of the ‘fuck your feelings’ crowd lashed out. Trump supporters suddenly want people to act politically correct.

Gaetz, though, reassured the mother that it should serve as a teachable moment for her daughter.

“Her congressman has also had an occasional lapse of judgment as a middle schooler,” Gaetz replied. “Teaching moments like this are a good thing. I had a lovely time with the students.”

Children know when something is wrong with a person and Gaetz got called out for the world to see by a child.
