Must see this whole exchange with Rep Richmond. Gaetz is a freaking tool and embarrasses himself on the House floor

[Jamastiene]

1. Notice how Gaetz made up imaginary black children he doesn't have to try to

sidetrack the discussion. Congressman Richmond leveled him flat and got the topic back on track. He nailed it.

[iluvtennis]

21. Yes, Congressman Richmond handled the POS Gaetz. nt

[Proud liberal 80]

2. He doesn't even have a black son

So he is getting mad over his imaginary black son...

[Roland99]

3. He's not married and has ZERO kids

14. I bet he's fathered a critter or two,

Whether he knows it or not, because the mother wants to keep him out of her life.

[KS Toronado]

20. Now you have me feeling sorry for critters.

[Ilsa]

26. I wouldn't want my kids living with half of their DNA from him. nt

[soldierant]

15. ZERO legitimate kids. ZERO kids that we know of.

[Jamastiene]

24. He is pretending to get mad over an imaginary black son.

That's how those jerks are. I've met plenty like him. They are trying to sidetrack the conversation and get the heat off themselves that way. It is a diversionary tactic.

4. DUI, Gaetz strikes out again.

Fugging asshole.

[smirkymonkey]

5. Oh, man. Gaetz is the world's biggest fucking d-bag!

I have never wanted to punch anyone so badly as I did right then. What a raging asshole. How is that prick still in office?

[MsLeopard]

11. How is he in office?

Daddy’s money - nothing else. White privilege writ large.

[smirkymonkey]

12. Your sig line is spot on.

Especially in this case. Bring it on!

[AwakeAtLast]

6. That was righteous!

[demtenjeep]

7. Gaetz is the turd that won't flush

despite all he was given as a child. He is the frat party gopher

[ibegurpard]

17. Frat Gaetz

[LuckyLib]

8. Gaetz -- a classic example of white male privilege seeking to inject himself into an issue

and speak for others. (Plus his stupidity is blatant.) STFU.

[lunatica]

9. Racism is not something a white person gets to argue about

when talking to Black people. Just shut the fuck up and listen for a change.

[Heartstrings]

10. Agree 100%!

[The Polack MSgt]

13. If they could do that they would not be Republicans

The ability to ignore reality and pretend wisdom is the only skill these numb nuts have

[brer cat]

27. +++ nt

[ibegurpard]

16. Imagine becoming apoplectic with outrage

Over your theoretical black child while arguing with an actual black man about systemic racism in law enforcement...
Having said that why in the world would anyone ever yield time to Matt Gaetz? That he would ever say anything at all in good faith can be assumed not to happen.

[Grins]

18. Why wasn't Gaetz wearing his full tactical gas mask?

He’s worn it before. Looked good on him. Covered a lot of his surface ugliness. Inside? Well that’s another story.

[onecaliberal]

19. Way to go Congressman Richmond!

Tell the truth. Let the racists howl.

[cilla4progress]

22. Wonderful.

And done with such ease!

[bermudat]

23. that was absolutely fabulous

[raccoon]

25. Thanks for posting. Gaetz is a Republican and represents

some part of the FL panhandle.
