Twitter Trolls Republican Congressman’s Silly “Rather Die in Battle” Tweet
Congressman Paul Gosar might not be a familiar name to you. But thanks to a very silly tweet, he’s started a meme on Twitter that you’ll definitely have seen by the end of the day.
The congressman is a doctor (his official page relates that used to own “his own dental practice”), a Republican representative from Arizona, and a proud “MAGA” who touts that in his bio as well as being called “mean and evil” in his Twitter bio. Sounds like a peach. Which makes this ridiculous Tweet all the more mock-able.
Been thinking about life and mortality today. I’d rather die gloriously in battle than from a virus. In a way it doesn’t matter. But it kinda does. pic.twitter.com/m6vU5RTQHJ

Yeah, Paul. I don’t think you’ll be heading out to a “glorious” battle any time soon.
Twitter, never one to let an inane tweet from a MAGA ghoul go un-mocked, got right on it with the parodies, with hilarious results.
