A former Florida congressional candidate has delivered Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida an early Christmas gift by filing a petition to have him stripped of his license to practice law over his support for Donald Trump’s attempts to undermine democracy and overturn the election results.
Pam Keith, who recently ran to represent Florida’s 18th Congressional District, just announced her petition to have Gaetz disbarred for his “egregious betrayal and attack on the Constitution of the United States of America.”
“This petition to disbar Matt Gaetz has been filed,” Keith tweeted yesterday. “Whether or not they choose to discipline him (they have censured him in the past), the record of his tenure will have this stain forever.”
This petition to disbar Matt Gaetz has been filed.
But you can still sign. I will update the Bar w/additional signatures after the holidays.

Gaetz has been a loyal lapdog to Trump throughout the 2020 election season. In addition to flirting with his daughter Tiffany on Twitter, he was one of those 126 House Republicans who signed that widely-criticized amicus brief supporting Texas’s effort to have the Supreme Court overturn the election results in Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Georgia.

Gaetz has not yet responded to Keith’s disbarment petition, although he did comment earlier this month when she first announced her plans to file it.
“Pam – I’ve never lost an election,” the antigay congressman tweeted on December 13. “Honest questions: How many times have you run? How many wins? (The voters just aren’t that into you…).”

So far, Keith’s petition has roughly 13,000 signatures.

The only reason this pos ever won is his dishonest behavior and his sticking his head so far up trumps backside the deplorables couldnt help but vote for him. He has acted so badly I cant believe he hasnt already ben disbarred
Doug
Unfortunately, this is a petition that will likely go nowhere.

You pretty much have to steal money from a client, murder him, and then screw him, before any bar association will disbar you.

The mugs of him & Junior & Eric the Dumb are just so eminently SLAPPABLE …

Along with Fredo-Donald Trump Jr- the most punchable faces in America.
Jason
Adam Schiff is THE most punchable.

He, along with the other 126 Congresspersons committed sedition by signing that amicus brief along with those various AG’s from the other states. This amounts to an attempted coup to displace an elected president-elect and replace him with their puppet dictator destroying the Oath they took for office. This amounts to treason to our country and THIS is very serious.
He and the others are now trying to back-peddle on this as not being this serious, but it IS! He needs to be punished for it. I think he should resign or be removed from the House for this stunt.
Jason
You mean like the left’s fake impeachment? The one that the admitted openly started they day he won the election.
ShiningSex
HE’S VILE!!!
Who’d “F” him too? Only people with horrible taste.
Get rid of him and the other Trumptards.
Mack
It seems that Florida residents will vote for anything that has an “R” after their name.
missvamp
Agreed. Even if the petition goes no where- it’s public record.

Well, down here in Florida we KNOW who is f***king him. It is said that his adopted son who he has lied about over and over is just a few years younger than he is and was his assistant then his “WARD” The only ward Anyone has ever heard about was batmans robin and we all know they slept together

Every time I see a photo of Gaetz he has this wan semi-dazed look – nothing more than a loud-mouth self-promoting shit head. Floridians ought to ashamed of themselves for putting him in office. He has no qualifications and is nothing more than a prop.

Only one word describes him:
Asshole.
Essie
He is vile, idiotic, evil and stupid but unless he has stolen money from a client, this petition will not result in his disbarment. It takes a lot for a Bar Association to disbarr an attorney. Standing up for the President doesn’t make you a terrible lawyer or terrible person and it is not illegal. I really don’t know what her purpose is for even doing this. A total waste of time. She should put all of her energy into getting someone to run against him who can win.

Honest to God, this guy is in the slappable category right along with Martin Shkreli (“pharma bro”) and Ethan Couch (“affluenza boy”) … remember them? His forehead is so big you could broadcast movies on it. I can’t remember if he more closely looks just like Beavis, or is it Butthead? Whatever. He is an embarrassment to all Floridians and all Americans. Also, where’s Nestor, Matt? LOL!

ALL Of the lawyers involved in Trump’s law suit scam should be disbarred- including Congress members like Cruz, etc.
Jason
LMMFAO!
hotflyer99
First off it’s the fools in the Panhandle that are mesmerised by this Fool.Folks here in south Florida didn’t vote for this fool.As we all know that panhandle/Tallahassee area is a very different place from the rest of Florida.?
RandomGuy
Maybe his “son” will find a new daddy and Matt will be all alone just like his type deserves to be.
Gadfeal
He is low hanging fruit. Barr, Giuliani and similar blatantly spewing prejudicial statements and acting on them should be all brought before a judgement of peers for acting against legal professions’ deontologies.
Furthermore, the jury should include non-lawyers as to estimations of intent and effect.
Tombear
ALL the congressmen and Senators who supported Trumps coup should all have their law licenses revoked. A politician who subverts democracy should be kicked out of office, period! Thank God the orange turd and his family, the turdlettes should all be put in jail.
Jason
That’s rich coming from the left who launched a coup on Trump over lies about Russian collusion. STFU.
Jason
So pathetic how Leftists/Liberals/Democrats/Progressives think and act. You always try to ruin people’s lives or cancel people who disagree with you or do something politically you don’t like. News networks and their reporters, politicians, and others claimed they had evidence Trump colluded with Russia for 3 1/2 years which was a complete lie! Yet you ignore how shitty that was. And nobody on the right has tried to ruin anyone’s lives. Grow up Democrats.
