Rep. Fred Upton, the chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, should resign immediately. For conservatives and libertarians, he couldn’t be further from perfect — unlike his niece, Kate Upton.
Fred Upton, a Republican, announced yesterday that he wouldn’t support the Obamacare repeal and replacement compromise plan because it’s too conservative. His website says, “I support full repeal and replacement of the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare).” This is a provable flip-flop and a full betrayal of his voters. (UPDATE: Apparently, Fred Upton flipped again, and might be a ‘yes.’)
Honestly, Republican voters would be better off with Kate Upton in Congress.
Because, as the Internet proved this week, Kate Upton is indeed perfect, and to suggest otherwise is blasphemy. An article in the Washington Free Beacon shamefully claimed, “Kate Upton Might Not be Perfect.” This op-ed was universally condemned, slammed, and denounced — and the Free Beacon lost hundreds and hundreds of subscriptions (no, you can’t actually subscribe to the Free Beacon… it’s free).
While Fred Upton might not be perfect, Kate is.
But all jokes aside, Republicans might be better served with Kate in Congress.
Kate has a record of articulating right-of-center political positions, opposing disrespect to our country, and supporting economic freedom.
Kate led the political fight to defend Uber in New York City against pro-union attacks by socialist Mayor Bill de Blasio. She tweeted, “Why do you want to return to days when only those in Midtown & Lower Manhattan could get a ride? #UberMovesNYC”

If that doesn’t get you excited, Kate also had the courage to slam football players who were taking knees for the National Anthem, saying, “Sitting or kneeling down during the national anthem is a disgrace to those people who have served and currently serve our country.”
That statement took spinal fortitude. Twitter attacked her relentlessly, and while most celebs cave, apologize, and take down their posts — she stayed true to her beliefs.
This fortitude was proven again when people in her industry tried to shame her for her Christian faith as politically incorrect. Kate told Elle, “I was at a photo shoot and I was wearing a cross necklace that my mom bought me, and somebody made a joke like, ‘Why are you wearing a cross? Like you would be religious.’ And then they took [my necklace] away… I was really affected by that. The whole thing made me realize that I do want [a cross] with me, at all times.”
While some would like to bring Kate to Congress for other assets, we want her for her political assets and bravery. At a young age, she has shown that she would be much more perfect in Congress than her flip-floppy uncle.
So, sorry Fred, it’s time to step aside for your niece.
