It’s a maneuver beloved by shifty politicians and others looking for a quick way out of unpleasant interactions with bill collectors, small talk with in-laws, and other such dodgeable moments–and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) this week caught America’s Most Vulnerable Freshman™ Rep. Gabe Evans red-handed pulling the “fake phone call” trick to avoid answering questions about the unpopular things he’s doing in Washington:
Here’s the whole painfully obvious clip:
When it works, it works. When it doesn’t, as in this case, it becomes the gaffe Evans tried to avoid.
Gabe Evans’ fake phone call is 2025’s version of Cory Gardner vanishing down an elevator.

Gabe Evans a lying piece of shit? Say it ain’t so! 😀
So there was a recent poll of voters in his district that showed he was very unpopular with only a 40% approval ratings. He's in the negatives. Even Trump had a slightly better approval than Evans but it's sad that voters in the district still like Trump more despite being objectively worse than even Evans though both are in the negative range. These two are literally taking away their healthcare where a supermajority of voters in the district disapprove but enough of them don't care if around 40% of them still approve of these idiots.
