Make Sure You're Yelling at the Right Guy

One of the Republican Congress members who's been confronted by his constituents at a town hall in recent days is named Chuck Edwards. He represents North Carolina's 11th District, which is in the far west of the state and includes Asheville and other areas devastated by last fall's hurricane. Edwards is the guy who beat the reprehensible Madison Cawthorn in the Republican primary in 2022.

I was blissfully unaware of Edwards until I saw news about his townhall. His constituents, like those at all the others, were unhappy with Trump, Musk, and — consequently — Edwards's answers to their questions about Trump and Musk.

But the thing I keep thinking about when I see coverage of Edwards is this:

Which of these men is Chuck Edwards, and which is the Nazi Trump advisor Seb Gorka? Have they ever been seen in a room together at the same time?

Am I the only one who thinks Edwards is a dead ringer for a slightly thinner Gorka?

Gorka on the right, right? But when I started reading your post, I thought, Why are there pictures (plural) of Gorka coming up?

Do you think he goes as Gorka for Halloween, or people stop him on the street to ask him Gorka-related questions? I'm sure they don't *sound* the same...

I see a large can of shaving cream in his future.

Why does these far-right fellows with facial hair do such a bad job of it? Cruz, Gorka, J.D.
