Fanatical Republican Extremist of the Day: Kat Cammack- 2023 Update [1]
['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.']
Date: 2023-07-28
On this date one year ago, “Fanatical Republican Extremist of the Day”, first profiled Kat Cammack, the sitting U.S. House Representative from Florida’s 3rd Congressional District, first elected in the 2020 elections, who prior to reaching office, was serving as the Deputy Chief of Staff from another legend we’ve profiled before, Ted Yoho, taking over as his heir apparent.
Days into her tenure in office, she led off by immediately trying to harass Democratic Congresswoman Rashaida Tlaib, making a big production over the fact that she would fly an Israeli flag outside her office to try and trigger Rep. Tlaib, who’s a Muslim. Because nothing says you’re ready to serve the people in Washington, D.C. by immediately making bigoted attacks against a colleague.
She further enraged her constituents on January 7th, 2021, when she not only voted for the objection to the election results, but spoke on the floor of the House to say she was “furthermore resolved” in doing so based on the domestic terrorists that stormed the Capitol a day earlier, legitimizing the coup attempt as valid.
OFF TO A GREAT START IN YOUR FIRST WEEK, KAT!
Since then, Cammack has, on multiple occasions, showed further sympathies towards the kinds of kooks that stormed the Capitol by going on Qanon conspiracy theory-focused online shows. The first being Ann Vandersteel’s online program, and on the second, “The Common Sense Show”, an exclusively Qanon program, where she called the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act “garbage”, before asking the Q crowd to follow her on her social media accounts. The host, Derik Vance, signed off at the end of her interview with the Qanon slogan, so it’s hardly vague of whom she’s aiming to get behind her.
Most recently, a national shortage of baby formula happened in the United States in spring of 2022, partially because former President S***ty McDeals decided to renegotiate NAFTA and screwed the ability of the U.S. to replenish stores of the product through Canada. But in May of 2022, who came onto the scene to report the “real cause” of the problem? KAT CAMMACK, who bumblef***ed her way onto Fox News to claim the Biden Administration was giving all of the baby formula to migrant children being held in immigrant detention facilities. While the facilities did have stocks of formula while many stores are out… it’s because the government detention centers were required to remain stocked BY LAW, which Kammack conveniently didn’t mention while getting Fox News’ white nationalist demographic infuriated that white babies might go hungry where non-white, foreign born ones were being fed.
Her voting record looks a lot like you’d expect:
Florida’s 3rd Congressional District has a +9 Republican lean, so whomever her opponent in 2024 might be, they will have an uphill battle against them.
She is currently wagering her political future on “being as much of a transphobic bigot as possible”, having gone on record about gender-affirming care for minors as follows:
With hearings scheduled on this topic in Congress this week, we’re not going to be surprised if she emerges to say something far more revolting within the next 48 hours. Potentially to distract from Donald Trump's indictment. Stay tuned.
