Accused sexual predator Matt Gaetz‘s latest threats against Democrats have blown up in his face… again.
At a press conference on Tuesday, the antigay Florida Republican told reporters, “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.”

He continued, “It’s going to be the days of Jim Jordan and Marjorie Taylor Greene and Dr. [Paul] Gosar and myself doing everything!”
How about we take this to the next level?

Gaetz, who voted to overturn the 2020 presidential election and helped spread Donald Trump’s Big Lie about alleged voter fraud, then vowed to get to the bottom of the totally debunked conspiracy theory that led to the deadly insurrection on the U.S. Capitol.

Now, The Democrats have taken what he said and turned into into a blistering attack ad, splicing his remarks with footage of his radical colleagues describing Trump as the only true leader of the GOP, voicing support for QAnon conspiracy theorists, and calling terrorists who stormed the U.S. Capitol “peaceful patriots.”
“When Republicans tell you who they are are, listen,” the ad, which has been viewed over 400,000 times on Twitter, says.
Watch.

This next election is going to be interesting. In Washoe County (second most populated in Nevada) the Independents outnumber the Republicans and Democrats in registered voters. We can not allow the right wing nazis to take control. The abortion situation is only the tip of the iceberg, watch for Obergefell v Hodges to be over turn.

So, wait. HOW did it backfire? Because the Demoncrats took his words and made a video? That’s how it ‘backfired?’
ROFLMAO!!!

It backfired because most Americans (except for idiots like you apparently) have at least enough intelligence to see through traitors to American Democracy like him when presented with their actual words.
Sad to see how right wingers like you hate this country’s history and promise, hate our democracy and get a hard on thinking about dictatorship. Sad to see heterosexual creeps like you coming here thinking we don’t know what you are. You will not recriminalize homosexuality or overturn marriage equality, you will not reduce women to brood mares. You will not make this country more of the laughingstock it became under your idol Trump. His poop must be awfully tasty the way tools like you chow down on it when offered!

Uh, let’s see. He gave remarks that he thought would make him look like a strong and decisive leader when in fact it made him look like the utterly insane and deranged fascist/democracy hater he really is? That’s how.
