"Buttboy-gieg LIED about his gayness to illegally serve in the military!"

Reminds me of the House and Senate GOP going back and forth with "look, we'll pass the ACA repeal bill only if you promise not to pass it too!!!"

"You'd better make me a promise you won't have to keep once I'm out of office!"
