Congress’ angriest poster shockingly isn’t Marjorie Taylor Greene – it’s an 87-year-old representative from Jersey

Congress’s “angriest” social media poster has been unmasked — thanks to a new study monitoring representatives’ “Twitter fingers.”

Candidates included the notoriously volatile Marjorie Taylor Greene and the equally outspoken Lauren Boebert.

Both were dethroned by a somewhat unusual suspect in Rep. Bill Pascrell Jr. – an 87-year-old from New Jersey.

According to statistics implemented on more than 2 million tweets from 584 U.S. senators, representatives and governors over a five-year period, the Democrat is the most upset.

He recorded an ‘upset score’ of 10/10 in tweets shared both before and after Preply’s analysis ended – around the time Trump was convicted of 34 crimes in his criminal trial in New York.

The owner of the dubious award was Bill Pascrell of New Jersey (seen here leaving the House in 2019), who is 87 years old and is not a fan of Donald Trump

“This is your regular reminder that convicted felon Donald Trump has been found liable for raping and then defaming a woman and ordered to pay her $88,000,000,” Pascrell tweeted the following Tuesday alongside a photo of Trump with Jeffrey Epstein .

A few days earlier he had delved into what he labeled as ‘the reason’ [R]epublicans are obsessed with destroying the IRS – they want to “help billionaires cheat on their taxes and steal from you.”

“That’s why,” the Paterson-raised progressive proclaimed.

“Republicans openly admit that they want to steal your Social Security and Medicare and then force you to work until you drop dead,” he wrote in another post that month about how some conservatives have considered raising the retirement age and shutting down the federal government abolish. fund too.

“When the Republicans say they’re coming for your social security, believe them,” he wrote on Twitter, where he has a Ukrainian flag emoji next to his name.

A few days earlier, the representative of New Jersey’s Ninth District redistributed a file posted by a Seattle doctor showing the thousands of pills prescribed to White House staff during just a few months of Donald Trump.

Addictive sedatives like Ambien and Provigil dominated the list of hundreds of prescription pills, as did ketamine, fentanyl and morphine.

More than 2,000 Ambien alone were prescribed, and just under 1,000 Provigil.

According to figures implemented on more than two million tweets from 584 US senators, representatives and governors over five years, the Democrat is the most upset, Preply found

“The activities of the Trump White House Apothecary raise a fleet of red flags,” Pascrell wrote on January 27 about the drug abuse.

“There is no aspect of this government trump and his crime squad untainted[.] not one.’

Shortly before that, he shared a tweet about Trump’s comments about abusing presidential power in the event of a victory in November — sentiments he has shared more than 20 times in the past year.

“Both the Washington Post and the New York Times have revealed that Donald Trump plans to impose a dictatorship and use the military against his enemies if he takes power again,” Pascrell tweeted again in protest in January.

“I’m going to post this repeatedly so no one can say they weren’t told.”

The attitude of Pascrell, who has represented The Garden State in the House of Representatives since 1997, is nothing new.

In 2020, he was profiled by NJ Advance Media for his steely tweets, which often slip under the radar due to the louder, colorful personalities of some of his contemporaries.

At the time, the New Jersey native said he was drawn to politics as a teenager because it involved fighting and outspokenness, recalling how his uncle, a Paterson ward leader, took him to his first political office some 70 years ago. event brought.

He registered an “upset score” of 10/10 in tweets shared both before and after the end of Preply’s analysis – around the time Trump was convicted of 34 crimes in his New York criminal trial

“Ten minutes after the event, a chair flies past my head,” Pascrell recalled at the time. “There were fights here, there were fights there. And I said to myself, “Maybe I’ll like this.”

Seven decades later, Pascrell, a 13-term Democrat, is still out for blood — and the platform once frequented by the former president has emerged as his preferred outlet, helping him reach the top spot.

“Under the leadership of their new chairman, Republicans are blatantly lying about the fact that rich people can cheat on their taxes because they think Americans are stupid,” Pascrell wrote last November after the election of Mike Johnson as chairman.

“It’s remarkable how Republican leaders lie about everything because they think voters are stupid and absolutely despise you,” he wrote the year before.

Republican Rep. Kevin Brady of Texas is one of many who have spoken out against Pascrell’s antics on social media.

He told NJ.com in 2020, “I don’t think there’s a role for some of these hate speeches and very aggressive accusations against other members of Congress.

Pascrell previously told publications that he developed the attitude seen not only on social media, but also in the House of Representatives on the mean “streets of Paterson, New Jersey.” He is seen in 2020 as a sparring partner with 77th Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin over Trump’s tax returns

‘[But I do believe Bill Pascrell is a very passionate lawmaker. He defends New Jersey and his community at every step.’

Pascrell previously told the publications that he developed this demeanor on the mean ‘streets of Paterson, New Jersey,’ 

‘Every day when you’re on the streets of Paterson, you have to prove yourself,’ the senior said at the time. ‘That’s never left me. I have to say what I believe. I tell you what I think. I don’t want to water the wine.’

Despite his age, he has not aired any plans to retire. More than 20 years ago, he was among the 81 Democratic House members who voted to authorize the invasion of Iraq.
