Matt Gaetz: Russia has a military advantage because they don't deny their 'white rage'

[Soph0571]

In comments made to The Spectator, Gaetz seemed to be annoyed by Gen. Mark Milley, who schooled the congressman in a hearing last month about the importance of studying critical race theory (CRT) and "white rage."

"Nobody in Russia is quivering over their 'white rage' — whatever that is,' Gaetz said. "In China, they spend money modifying submarines, not the genders of service-members."

"And I'm going to battle against this," he continued. "Only a Benedict Arnold would surrender the Pentagon to the Woketopia without a fight."

Emphasis mine

Can you imagine even a decade ago, a sitting member bigging up the military of any authoritarian state - cause they are racist - never mind Russia. But RUSSIA? How the world turns. Traitor and racist in one sentence.

“Here’s my strategy on the Cold War – we win, they lose.” said Ronald Reagan, June 1988. Heh, maybe not so much.

1. Pretty bold of him to be bringing up Benedict Arnold.

[Bo Zarts]

7. "Projection," sung to the tune of "Tradition" from Fiddler on the Roof.

After all, projection is a GOP tradition.

16. Well done!

14. Even Benedict Arnold served with distinction before getting wounded and temporarily sidelined,

before the whole gold and glory thing led him to betray the Colonials. He did not start from a position of clueless privilege-like some people, bone spurs or alcohol and/or coke impaired.

2. He really seems to like

upping the ante on his outrage generating. I'm hoping that his seeming sense of invulnerability turns out to be vastly incorrect.

[smirkymonkey]

27. It's all he's got.

It's all any of them have, which is why they do it. It works for them, for now at least.

They know that the people who vote for them are addicted to permanent outrage and as long as they keep feeding them the red meat, they can bask in the illusion of having the strength and power that their cult provides for them.

I don't think it's going to keep working if good, decent people are persistent in bringing these people to justice and holding them accountable. They are literally drunk on power right now and it is blinding them to their own vulnerability

[John Ludi]

29. I REALLY hope you're right.

I'm waiting for some high level prosecution to open the floodgates of accountability on all these ghouls. My worry is that they will keep playing their games and winning and they'll sweep the midterms (legitimately or otherwise).

3. What's the opposite of a "woketopia"?

A "comatopia", or as Gaetz might prefer, a "roofietopia"?

[Girard442]

4. Matt, if you want an all-Aryan Army, just say so.

[oldsoftie]

5. Why is it taking so long to ARREST this prick. nt

[SallyHemmings]

6. That is great question

[2Gingersnaps]

13. At this point in time it is time to arrest his parents

for toxic, negligent, crime against humanity parenting.

[Takket]

8. Isn't this the guy the FBI found out months ago was

Literally sexually assaulting underage children?

ARREST HIM

[tanyev]

9. Ohhhhh, now I get why Republicans have become so enamored of Russia.

[Marcuse]

10. Russian intelligence services are promoting white rage in America.

Putin says the Capitol seditionists are political prisoners.

"Nobody in Russia is quivering over their 'white rage' — whatever that is,' Gaetz said.

[Marrah_Goodman]

11. Which branch of the armed forced did he serve in....I forget?

[3825-87867]

20. The Dirlewanger Brigade

Interesting read!

Not a lot of people know about it.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirlewanger_Brigade

[Marrah_Goodman]

21. Sounds about right!

[Elessar Zappa]

12. Why the hell is this guy still walking free?

He’s a predator who should be taken off the streets.

[3825-87867]

17. I'm confused!

Does anyone know what district Gaetz represents in Russia/Moscow?

Maybe someone should ask him...on Twitter or Facebook.

Bet a lot of people would like to know!

[malthaussen]

18. Some days, I miss the code duello.

There are a number of "journalists" who would benefit from a brief visit to a field of honor.

19. The USA doesn't spend any money on submarines anymore?

When did that stop?

Show me the line item in the defense budget that says "Submarines: $0"

[IcyPeas]

22. Did he make up the word "Woketopia"?

Watch it be the new word of the day at fox news too.

[mdbl]

23. Why do people vote for such assholes?

[uriel1972]

24. Because they're greedy, selfish and hateful arseholes?

[JI7]

26. Because they are the same way as them

[struggle4progress]

25. The dance of the cuckoos

[gulliver]

28. The Republican Party is a flake, crook, perv magnet now.

No matter how rotten or creepy you are, you have refuge in the Republican Party as long as you handle snakes and dance the dance.
