The Committee gives Troy Nehls the Conservative Barf Bag Award in the subcategory of “Let them eat cake.”

MAGA Rep. Troy Nehls brushed off a question about “affordability” by bragging about his expensive July 4 feast.
“How do House Republicans make the case that you’re fighting for affordability when you go back to your districts?” reporter Pablo Manríquez of Migrant Insider asked Nehls on Tuesday. “Affordability? What’re you talking about?” the 58-year-old Texas congressman replied. “I’m gonna go there tomorrow, well over the Fourth. I’m gonna get me a couple of big lobster tails, I’m gonna get me some nice ribeyes. I’m gonna sit in my backyard with my family, my neighbors, and we’re going to be enjoying the Fourth, celebrating 250 years,” he boasted.
Manríquez then pressed Nehls further, asking, “You think 60 percent of Americans who are living paycheck to paycheck can afford lobster tails and ribeyes and all that?” “Maybe not,” Nehls said. “Maybe the 60 percent of Americans don’t work as hard as I do either.”

“Donald Trump is the best thing to happen in this country in a hundred years. He was born a very special baby. I bet you the doctors said, ‘I can tell this is a very special baby,’” he proclaimed earlier this month, and was promptly mocked for it. In April, just one week after Easter, Nehls likened Trump to Jesus Christ, declaring that the current president was “almost the second coming.”
