Rep. Matt Gaetz @RepMattGaetz wrote: Democrats are trying to imprison their chief political opponent and have now apparently succeeded at removing him from the ballot. This is what dictators do.

I’m confident that the U.S. Supreme Court will not allow this egregious ruling to stand. The American people will decide their next president, not activist judges in Colorado.

Matt, if you hadn't made your worst political miscalculation, McCarthy would be sticking around. YOU initiated a vote that got McCarthy removed from the Speaker because you thought there was no way it would Pass.

So, if the Majority is down to one, that's your fault.

Tweaking the truth as any good Republican does - it's only one state that will not have the former guy on it's presidential ballot. In a state where he is unlikely to win electors (without a alternate slate ;) )

And Democrats had nothing to do with this. It was brought on behalf of a group of Republican and unaffiliated voters.

The reopened House ethics probe into Rep. Matt Gaetz continues to ramp up, as the committee in recent weeks has contacted multiple new witnesses as part of its ongoing investigation into the Florida congressman, sources tell ABC News.

In recent days, the Republican-led House Ethics Committee has reached out to multiple new witnesses, expanding its contact with individuals who have ties to the initial Justice Department investigation into Gaetz, said sources, who told ABC News that committee investigators have begun conducting interviews.

Sources say in recent days, in addition to focusing on possible lobbying violations by Gaetz, the Ethics Committee has reached out to witnesses who were questioned as part of the Justice Department's sex trafficking investigation into the Florida congressman.MORE: DOJ won't charge Matt Gaetz in sex-trafficking probe as lawyer for minor calls investigation 'difficult experience'
The House probe into Gaetz's conduct was reopened last July after the Ethics Committee initially deferred its investigation at the request of the Justice Department, which conducted its own years-long probe that concluded without charging Gaetz in 2023.

Responding to the new developments, Gaetz told ABC News in a statement, "It's great to see the Ethics Committee has interests beyond trading stocks. They seem to be quite the unusual whales."

House Ethics Probe Into Matt Gaetz ‘Zeroes In’ on Sex Trafficking
We now know the Ethics Committee is firmly looking at the allegations that Matt Gaetz paid an underage teen for sex when he was twice her age.


https://www.thedailybeast.com/house-eth ... etter%20PM
As a House Ethics probe into Rep. Matt Gaetz heats up, investigators are zeroing in on the sex trafficking allegations against him, multiple sources told The Daily Beast.

Staffers on the Ethics Committee have been reaching out to alleged witnesses to potential sex crimes, according to two sources familiar with the Ethics probe. And the panel has also been trying to obtain records from the Department of Justice related to its investigation into Gaetz, according to one of those sources.

Prosecutors announced they decided against charging Gaetz in February 2023, following a 30-month investigation into allegations that the congressman paid to have sex with a minor who was half his age in 2017.

Just before publication of this report, CNN reported that the Ethics Committee had reached out to the woman Gaetz allegedly had sex with when she was underage.

Whenever I hear Gaetz, or any of these measly-mouthed Cretans lying about how Biden is personally conducting a massive campaign via the justice system to get TFG, I am reminded of one of my favorite lines from Buffy the Vampire Slayer:

"That's a radical interpretation of the text."

The old definition of chutzpah used to be throwing yourself on the mercy of the court because you are an orphan, after murdering your parents.

I think we have a new definition.

Gaetz told @bresreports he forgot about the taser and had to throw it out.

He said he thanked the TSA agent who found it and "he gave me a fist bump and told me to secure the border."

Why was he carrying it? "Because I can't afford to hire Cori Bush's husband," he said.

“To secure the southern border”

Is that an euphemism for “put your trousers back on”?

Matt Gaetz Won’t Let His Wife Watch The Super Bowl Over ‘Black National Anthem’ Performance

Phillip Nieto
Feb 11th, 2024, 7:39 pm

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) took to social media on Sunday to inform his followers he will not be watching Super Bowl LVIII over the singing of “Black national anthem.”

At the start of Super Bowl at Allegiant Stadium, Andra Day performed the song Lift Every Voice and Sing for the second time in Super Bowl history. The song is nicknamed the Black national anthem because it speaks to the racial injustices faced by the Black community in the U.S.

The conservative lawmaker posted an alleged exchange between himself and his wife discussing why they are not watching the biggest sporting event of the year.

When his wife asks him why they are not watching the Super Bowl, Gaetz claimed he said, “They’re desecrating America’s National Anthem by playing something called the ‘Black National Anthem.'” His wife, Ginger, replied, “Does that mean Cardi is performing?”

They still had the national anthem. Having a few other songs before it does not desecrate the national anthem, unless you're a racist f*** who refuses to accept that America has a history of denying other Americans the freedoms we claim to cherish.

We have used the song in church (one of our hymnals is titled Lift Every Voice and Sing). The only reason I don't stand is I am at the piano.
