South Carolina Congressman Trey Gowdy is such a BAMF on Capitol Hill that it’s rare to see this ex-lawyer not fired up with outrage over the latest Obama administration scandal. He’s a guy who takes oversight and accountability VERY seriously, and he’s built quite a name for himself in a relatively short amount of time.

That’s why it’s kind of shocking to see Gowdy loosen up a bit here, as he essentially tries his hand at some stand-up comedy…and succeeds brilliantly. The audience just ate this one up, as he recounted a dream involving the deaths of fellow Republicans John Boehner, Lindsey Graham, and Andy Harris. Sound morbid? It is, and it gets even worse!
