Gaetz: 9% of Americans approve of Congress — Gaddafi had 13% approval rating and his people killed him

On Monday, during the House Judiciary Committee’s impeachment hearing against President Donald Trump, Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), who has repeatedly spoken up during the hearing made a quite interesting point during his 5-minute window of time.

Gaetz said, “The last public opinion poll I saw showed Congress had an approval rating of about nine percent. By contrast, Muammar Gaddafi had an approval rating of 13% and his own people dragged him in the streets and killed him.”

The analogy is just the latest powerful moment from Gaetz during the Democrats’ impeachment efforts, showing the inability of Congress to do the will of the American people, in his opinion.
