Look out, folx, because Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida is going on tour!
The embattled congressman is hitting the road alongside QAnon Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene for the “America First Tour.” Interestingly, “America First” used to be the slogan for the KKK. Although we’re sure Gaetz and Green recycling it for their little roadside attraction is just a toooootal coincidence.
The tour kicks off May 7 at Florida’s largest retirement community, The Villages, where the two antigay lawmakers will give fiery speeches about “the radical left” and disloyal Republicans.

“The radical left is coming for you,” Gaetz warned listeners in a radio advertisement. “And they know I’m in the way. Come stand with me as we fight back together against this radical president and his far left agenda!”

Alex Andrade, a Republican state representative who holds Gaetz’s old seat in the Florida House, tells Politico that he’s not the least bit surprised by the antigay congressman going on tour.
“Of course Congressman Gaetz is going about business as usual,” he says. “He committed to fighting entrenched corruption when he first ran for Congress, and he’s not going to be deterred by anything we’ve seen to date. I know I wouldn’t have expected anything else from him.”
Here’s how folx have been responding to Gaetz’s tour announcement…

I wouldn’t expect a couple of racist yearning for the days of yesteryear to hang out anywhere else, than in a community of old retired racist who’s glory days were in the racist days of the past.
Enjoy your last few days of freedom.

Step right up republican voters. These 2 know very well that you are easily fooled and boy do they have a lot of lies for you.

Him and Majorie Taylor Biggot are exposing more and more the GQP/KKK. Let’s hope the Dems don’t mess up this incredible opportunity with their horrible messaging.

Unfortunately, in Florida, there are too many “crazy uncles” eating up the swill these two are dishing out. How did Florida get lost to the Republicans? The Democrats should counter program; promise to use a different price index so Social Security COLA goes up – reduce Medicare premiums, etc. That should help with the seniors, who are often more cranky than wise.
The military-vet constituency of Gaetz’s and the Cuban-American vote seem largely lost to the radical right, however. Not sure what would help, but some counter programming against the “long con” of Trump and his minions is definitely in order.
The tweets mocking these two are a laugh, but the Democrats need to be proactive.

The problem with Florida can be explained in two words: Andrew Gillum. Bc the progressives backed this loser instead of a more moderate candidate like Charlie Crist, the state ended up with a governor like Ron Death-Santis. The Florida Dems are so disorganized that they need someone like Stacey Abrams to go there and do what she did in Georgia. Otherwise the former toss up state in Florida will now continue to lean in red. The Dems messaging in general has been an utter mess but especially in Florida. The GQP convinced the vulnerable Cubans that a vote for Democrats is a vote for socialism which is somehow in line with Fidel Castro. Never mind that Trump tried to act like a dictator but the Dems have got to get better messaging
