Following the news of President Trump encouraging Congressman Lou Barletta to run for governor (aka Senate), a despondent Congressman and wannabe Senate candidate Mike Kelly consoled himself in the only way he knew how — being surrounded by oil paintings of Donald J. Trump and his family.
In response to being spurned by President Trump, Congressman Mike Kelly released the following statement between sobs:
“I was distraught to learn that President Trump praised my Senate rival Congressman Barletta, who I will add is not even a member of the #1 Trump Fan Club Facebook group I’m the administrator of. If Mr. Trump knew I had five oil paintings of him and his family in my office, it would have been me getting accidentally encouraged to run for Governor when he really meant Senate. I have no doubt this set back was orchestrated by the Deep State acting on the orders of Shadow President Obama. My only hope is that when I deliver the paintings to the White House I will receive the attention and approval I so desperately seek.”
