This Matthew Gertz is not the congressman, he's with Media Matters for America:

Fox News' own "Brain Room" has effectively concluded that @mmfa is a more accurate source for information about the Ukraine disinformation campaign than Sean Hannity or John Solomon.

Which, to be fair, is entirely accurate. https://t.co/z1xBTwlrxY pic.twitter.com/1DRP9v7A82

I kinda got a kick out of this one from Dec. that I saw at the bottom of the page at The Guardian: Boris Johnson 'hides in a fridge' to avoid Piers Morgan interview

In reply to Boris doing the Orwell "war

Doublethink is the belief of two contradictory statements. For example, War is Peace. Doublethink not only signifies the great ignorance of the people in such a society, but Big Brothers ability to manipulate the people's views.

Boris: "Abandoning free trade means expanding free trade"

In reply to Boris doing the Orwell "war

Nowhere near intellectual enough for Orwell - fully in the oost-war Marvel Comics genre. A shame that era passed 70 years ago, whatever the screen adaptions. Pinning your strategy to dreams of former greatness - Chronicles of Narnia v LOTR in 2020? Total madness. And Trump will fuck him on trade like last year's concubine - I suppose the bloom will be off that rose in a matter of months, no loving "Rocketman" endearments, just "you know the way out".

Boris doing the Orwell "war is peace, freedom is slavery, ignorance is strength" thing:

the prime minister says it's time for the UK to "take off its Clark Kent spectacles" and turn into a "superhero champion" of free trade with other countries

he also tells critics of Donald Trump to "grow up and get a grip" given the potential to increase US-UK trade
