Hillary Clinton may have found the one person more annoying than Ted Cruz

They call him Jason Chaffetz. He's like Reince Priebus, but worse.

Is there anyone who grates on the soul more than Twitter-porn-loving oily constitutionalist Texas Senator Ted Cruz?

No, there isn't. Not even close. But there are people who come nearer than others, and Hillary Clinton, who has nothing to lose, exposes them in her new book, What Happened.

Just released today, What Happened details what happened in the 2016 election, including a long list of who's to blame: including herself and others. Few people have read the book yet but that hasn't stopped Twitter pundits from accusing Clinton of: destroying the Democratic party's hopes in 2020, dividing the country irreparably, and otherwise contributing to the rise of fascism.

You know how book tours go.

Regardless of how you prematurely feel about the book, however, this section on Congressman and former Chairman of the House Oversight Committee, Jason Chaffetz is worth all of your internet rage today.

After failing to execute the basic responsibilities of his job and being humiliated by small children at his own town halls, Chaffetz has since resigned from the position. He is now an official commentator on Fox News and an asshole on Instagram.

Chaffetz is reportedly almost half a foot taller than Preibus.

Shade this is not. Mild mannered trash-talking, yes it is.
