Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) picked an interesting place to self-quarantine himself during a coronavirus scare: a Walmart parking lot. On Tuesday, Gaetz told the Pensacola News Journal exactly where one part of the self-quarantine had taken place. “I couldn’t stay in a hotel,” he said of his drive from Washington, D.C., back home to Florida. “I slept in a Walmart parking lot somewhere off [Interstate] 85.”Gaetz will spend the remainder of his self-quarantine in Okaloosa County, but presumedly in more comfortable accommodations. On Tuesday, the congressman insisted to the News Journal that the mask “wasn’t making light of the situation.” He added: “I only wish I had worn the gas mask at CPAC.”
