Exercising good judgment on Twitter–or in life, in general–has never been Matt Gaetz‘s strong suit. But his latest tweet is exceptionally cringey, even for him.
This morning, the antigay congressman, who is currently on tour with transphobic QAnon congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Green promoting their KKK-inspired “America first” agenda, tweeted: “Unbossed, unbought, unbowed. That is the mantra of the America First movement.”
Unbossed, unbought, unbowed.
That is the mantra of the America First movement.

The tweet comes amid reports that federal investigators are in the final stages of gathering evidence in their ongoing teen sex trafficking investigation against the 38-year-old lawmaker.

How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Gaetz has been accused traveling with a high school student to the Bahamas and paying her for sex. He has repeatedly denied the allegations and claims he’s the victim of a multi-million dollar extortion plot.
And now, the responses…

Underaged, undressed & unethical…
That’s the mantra of Matt Gaetz— CuzMin (@MinnieMc_) May 27, 2021
But you bought sex. That doesn’t make sense…

Unhinged. Unencumbered by age when “dating.” Unmatched in DUI’s.
That is the mantra of the America’s Bowel Movement.

In other Gaetz news, despite the fact that he’s under federal investigation and could go to jail, he still has his eye on a potential 2024 presidential bid.
That’s right, folx. Matt Gaetz actually thinks he’s presidential material.
“I support Donald Trump for president. I’ve directly encouraged him to run and he gives me every indication he will,” he told The New York Post yesterday. “If Trump doesn’t run, I’m sure I could defeat whatever remains of Joe Biden by 2024.”
Though he hasn’t yet launched an official exploratory committee, he has been scheduling rallies around the country and is booked as a keynote speaker at the Nashua GOP “steak out” in New Hampshire, an early primary state and key swing state.
Now, here’s what folx on Twitter are saying about that whole thing…
Matt Gaetz said he will run for president in 2024 if trump does not, and now I can't stop laughing.

Matt Gaetz said he will run for presidency in 2024 if Trump does not, even though most of the women he dates won't be old enough to vote for him.

Gaetz in 2024 might actually fail. He hasn’t the gravitas of Trump, the clown car energy, nor the ability to attract Russia.
Cam
Gravitas? Not a word I’d use for Trump.
Liquid Silver
An obvious joke, troll dear, or why I say you’re also obvious. He’s well below Trumpy’s lack of it. Go collect your Russian paycheck now, hunny bear, you got the response you wanted. Good girl.

Cam needs to think up several obtuse comments for his latest creation, MissTerri, to say today.
BaltoSteve
Wonder how his constituents feel about him proudly proclaiming he doesn’t work for them.

From what is understood the USA will have a President in 2024 not holding residency in the White House but in Prison….. when and if this Matt Gaetz would win the Presidential Election in 2024!
Something new for the USA, visitors are to be attending conferences then while being body-searched, undergo cavity-inspections, age-checks will be done on all females accompanying guests of the POTUS………
Tombear
So he paid underage girls for sex. It’s An Evangelical white man thing! You wouldn’t understand!

Why has no one mentioned that this was a black woman, Shirley Chisholm’s campaign slogan when she ran for President?
Mike Hunt
Whatever happened to his “son” Nestor?
Talk about underage …. Geez.

How come Q doesn’t say Matt Gaetz is a child molester and pays little girls for sex?
