Post #5478 Bad Elephant of the Year 2021

This year's mock award to Republicans behaving badly is shared jointly by these Trumpkin congressmen:

Paul Gosar; Marjorie Taylor Greene; Matt Gaetz; Lauren Boebert

It hardly seems necessary to explain these choices (these principals have been the targets of countless Twitter trends), but just to remind the reader: Gosar was recently rebuked by the House for circulating a video  featuring the killing of Congresswoman  AOC, Greene was also stripped of committee assignments over a number of controversies, including one involving the prospective murder of Speaker Pelosi; Gaetz has been a leader in the Trump "stolen election" conspiracy caucus and  there's an allegation he's been involved with a then teen/minor, and Boebert has had her own weird controversies, including a racist smear of Congresswoman Omar. 

None of these controversies help the chances of Republicans retaking the House next year, which in theory should be a slam dunk given a single digit advantage and typical POTUS party midterm losses..
