Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida has made it his personal mission to use his position in Congress to find a way to meet free Britney Spears.
Today, the 38-year-old homophobe urged his Twitter followers to call Rep. Jerry Nadler of New York, who serves as Chair of the House Judiciary, and urge him to #FreeBritney.
Call @RepJerryNadler
We need a hearing on this. #FreeBritney https://t.co/f7sjjGb3Nh

Gaetz voiced his desire to help the pop star escape her court-ordered conservatorship after watching the Framing Britney Spears documentary last month.
Last week, he went on Newsmax to talk about how, as a “Millennial and a huge Britney Spears fan,” he feels compelled do something. And he told TMZ he really, really, really wants to bring the singer to Capitol Hill to sign autographs speak her truth before Congress.
How about we take this to the next level?

He’s also been tweeting and retweeting incessantly about her over the past few weeks. Here’s just a a few examples (there are many, many more)…

Seriously, this dude is obsessed.

Find something to occupy yourself, aside from this cringeworthy white-knighting on Twitter.

We need a hearing on Nestor’s freedom.

I would say, we need elected officials with a better set of priorities

It’s a little unsettling that a grown ass man has a fetish with Brittney pic.twitter.com/mU7oDS33xc

These self hating closet cases always try to pretend their into women, but they always do it in the most gay way possible.
Max
they’re only into women for the shoes.
graphicjack
What straight man is into the #FreeBritney movement? Further evidence his real partner is Nestor. All women can collectively heave a sigh of relief that if he’s posting that he’s into you, know he’s just using you as a beard and nothing else.
jaleoman
Lol he is definitely a closeted gay, he probably referred to himself as Britney bitch. ??
jaleoman
Lol that man is super gay lol I have never met a straight man that like Britney Spears, it’s always the gays that like her.
whatabesson
Who cares if he is gay or not? Atleast he is doing something GOOD for once in fighting to get someone out of a corrupt conservatorship. Her fans didn’t just make all of this up, it’s all out there and it’s all to do with her money. She is not someone who should be under a conservatorship.

@whatabesson
He’s a nauseating bigot who is working to attack LGBTQ people. Anything that exposes his hypocrisy etc. is fine with me.
whatabesson
I am not a fan of Matt Gaetz, but of all the things you could attack him on, you are going to attack him on trying to free Britney Spears out of a corrupt conservatorship? Seriously disgusted with this site after this. Britney Spears has been in a corrupt conservatorship that she has been trying to get out of for years. I am all for this and this will open doors into our legal system and the corruption. There are millions in corrupt conservatorships. Shame on you, Graham. How much did Jamie Spears pay you?
Cam
Get off of an LGBTQ site if you’re going to play victim.
barryaksarben
Ms Spears has had plenty of opportunity to speak out directly about her father so I dont believe she is being held totally against her will and even if she is this is not what a congressman should be doing all day long. He is acting like a fool which we all know he is. I am older so remember when there was a legit republican party. I was against eveything they stood for but it wasnt dull of closet cases, racists and idiot like now and you are defending this pos. There will never be a time he isnt wrong until he starts acting like a human being to others. He seems to hate all of humanity EXCEPT Brittney. so screw off you troll
ted72
Beard!
ShiningSex
HE’S CLOSETED. BTW, BRITNEY SUCKS. WHO CARES? SHE BITCH CANNOT SING LIVE. ALWAYS PRE-RECORDED OR JUST PLAYING HER CD.

I’m for BondageBritney; forget the FreeBritney stuff.

If Britney’s conservatorship is inappropriate, she needs a better lawyer, not a Congressional hearing. California courts aren’t perfect, but I speculate there’s somethings the general public, even Britney’s best fans, don’t know, otherwise her conservatorship wouldn’t have continued for as long as it has. If there were no real basis for it, lawyers fighting through the California courts would have gotten it ended by now.
As for this Gaetz fellow, he reminds me in this case of former Illinois congressman Aaron Shock who had a thing for Taylor Swift (not to mention Downtown Abbey). I guess Shock was/is better looking, but otherwise….
Manrico Jimenez
Matt Gaetz wouldn’t even reach the height of Aaron Schock’s talons. They’re miles apart in league.
johnnymcmxxx
Of course he’s obsessed w/ her. Britney is a Gay icon. Was he the queen who screeched “Leave Britney alone!”?
