A friend just texted me about a Florida woman who was arrested on Tuesday for throwing wine at Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL). This is now the second time that Gaetz has been the public target of projectile liquids.
While I admittedly find both incidents quite humorous, I’m frankly torn with respect to the appropriateness of such actions.
On the one hand, I do have to acknowledge the obvious frustration that some Florida residents must feel being represented by someone a reprehensible as Matt Gaetz. One could certainly argue that a symbolic cleansing was appropriate.
On the other hand, though, I find it rather difficult to accept such an obvious waste of good drinks.
