Former Rep. Sean Duffy (R-WI) represents a dramatic escalation of RePresident-elect Donald Trump’s penchant for nominating dudes caught on camera without their shirts.

And, in Duffy’s case, without his or anyone else’s pants.

Trump has already announced other nominees whose mere shirtlessness drew attention from both parties. Health and Human Services nominee Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., drew raves from the right for his physique despite there being zero correlation between personal fitness and fitness to oversee public-health agencies.

And Defense Department nominee Pete Hegseth got lots of attention from the left for pictures of him shirtless, revealing not only his pecs, but his symbols of Christian nationalism harking back to the Crusades, which were crusades against Jewish and Muslim people.

But yesterday, Trump upped the ante by naming someone who’s actually been caught on camera going the full MAGA.

Trump extended extended his male-nudity streak by nominating Duffy, who literally streaked (while holding something in front of his genitalia) on camera in 1997.

In the clip below, Duffy at first seems to approximate a strip tease and then — fully naked but covering his genitals — appears to rub his naked ass on the window. The scene runs a little more than 20 seconds. Duffy was in his mid-to-late 20s at the time.
