What a winner. I checked his campaign website and it is filled with boilerplate GOP issues - cut taxes, protect gun owners, privatize education, privatize Social Security and Medicare (for younger generations, of course, GOP olds will still get their government money), gut government regulatory agencies for "job creation" purposes, overturn abortion rights, oppose illegal immigration and "build the wall!" along the Mexican border, traditional family values, etc. My favorite is when his website talks about "overbearing" federal agencies treating good, honest American citizens like scum and riding roughshod over their rights. Yet, according to a politico article, both Garrett and his wife treated their aides like personal servants and were bullying and threatening on a regular basis. They forced his aides and interns to serve as dog watchers and clean their dog's poop off the carpet (and often seemed to forget that the dog was there at the office), called aides at all hours of the night to run personal errands, and his wife would yell at, and threaten, aides if they forgot to pick up the Congressman at his home or let him oversleep. They also forced aides to drive for up to three hours to just pick up family members and bring them back to DC, had them pick up groceries and do other errands. And, now it turns out that he's an alcoholic. The irony is that they are the "overbearing government" his website complained about. He and his wife are the definition of the entitled, arrogant, big government elitist.
