Matt Gaetz Worries NSA Is Spying On Him Due To His 'Whiteness'

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) suggested the NSA could be targeting people like him for being white. During his Thursday Firebrand podcast, Gaetz expressed outrage after conservative media outlet The Daily Wire claimed to have obtained a leaked NSA glossary of terms, including "whiteness" and "white supremacy."

"Wow," Gaetz said. "No group of humans in all of human history has ever been without a series of pretty bad actions, right? You get a group of humans together for long enough, we do bad things to one another. That goes back to biblical times."

"But white people have built some of the most durable and inclusive civilizations that have ever existed," he continued. "And, of course, mistakes have been made along the way."

"Imagine the NSA intercepting your text messages and flagging any material deemed to support extremist beliefs like, there are only two genders, or men can't be misogynist to other men, or I'm not sorry that my ancestors created Western civilization," he remarked.

Why the f**k is he in Congress and not in jail moments.

I sought counseling for this and all the shrink does is shrug and shake their head. I am beginning to think it’s terminal.

They are "sniffing" for those who are easily and/or willingly compromised. _ Like Matt Gaetz! If you had nothing to do with white supremacists, insurrectionists, or traffic in underage girls, they wont get too alarmed.

But that doesn't mean Gaetz isn't a flimflam man. His ability to flimflam is much enhanced by the presence on our side of easy targets for ridicule and paranoia such as the poor lost people (and flimflam people) who use the word "whiteness." They might claim to be on the left, but they're not.

What he is saying is, "I am racist, I want you to make sure that you understand it, but I want to choose my language carefully so that I can claim my innocence and put on my pouty face if you call me out on it. I think sometimes the idiots even believe that only their kind understand what they are saying, in code, because, you know, those other people really aren't very bright.

The man is a pig.
