Embattled antigay congressman Matt Gaetz has a vision for the future — one folks were quick to call “terrifying.”
The Florida Republican laid it out during a press conference on Tuesday, telling the crowd: “We are going to take power after this next election and when we do, it’s not going to be the days of Paul Ryan and Trey Gowdy and no real oversight and no real subpoenas.”
“It’s going to be the days of Jim Jordan and Marjorie Taylor Greene and Dr. [Paul] Gosar and myself doing everything,” to get answers about the totally debunked conspiracy theory that the deadly violence at the Jan. 6 insurrection was an anti-Trumi, “false flag” operation with FBI involvement.
Gaetz, Jordan, Greene and Gosar all voted to overturn the 2020 presidential election and have helped spread Trump’s Big Lie about alleged fraud.
How about we take this to the next level?

“[Gaetz], still under investigation for federal sex crimes — lays out what House Oversight might look like under a Republican majority. Terrifying,” tweeted political video site The Recount.

And more critics aren’t so keen on Gaetz’ outlook, either:
There is the message. These toxic monsters are our future. https://t.co/HpG3Wbgp1c

A nightmare scenario that should send us all screaming to the polls.

I thought I hated Paul Ryan, but Gaetz, Jordan, Greene, Boebert, and Gosar make Ryan look good by comparison.

Democrats should be doing it anyway, we don’t need the extreme right wing to be in charge of anything. They’re wanting to make us like Nazi Germany.

These psychotic trumplicans need to spend some of their equally nutty backers money and go buy their own island somewhere so they can rule each other with their lunacy.
