Matt Gaetz: Expect ‘Bloodshed’ From The MAGA Faithful If Trump Loses In 2024

For the second time in as many days, a supporter of failed, disgraced, and oft-indicted former president Donald Trump is suggesting that should Donald not be victorious in the 2024 election, blood will flow in the streets of the United States.

Yesterday, former Arkansas GOP Gov. Mike Huckabee said on a broadcast:

“Here’s the problem. If these tactics end up working to keep Trump from winning or even running in 2024, it is going to be the last American election that will be decided by ballots rather than bullets.”

And now we have a sitting member of Congress, Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), predicting “bloodshed” from the MAGA faithful if Trump happens to lose the next presidential election.

During an appearance on the Driveway Liberty Podcast, here’s what Gaetz had to say:

“It turns out they’ll let anybody have these jobs who gets the most votes. Well, you know, and now they’re trying to change that. Like what we were talking about earlier with, you know, with secretaries of state trying to decide certain, you know, Trump can’t even be on the ballot.”

Keeping Trump off the ballot, the podcast host claimed, has “been the plan from the very beginning.”

“I really worry that that type of action could lead to violence,” Gaetz agreed. “And I am so wildly opposed to violence. I don’t think it’s how we should resolve our disputes.”

The Florida Republican then added, “But when you start telling people that they can’t express their participation in this American experience through a vote, then they start looking for other ways, and they’re not, the vote is the best way to do it. The other ways are not so good. And I worry if they start to take the vote away, you could see bloodshed in this country. Like none of us want.”

None of you want that? That’s exactly what you want. That’s exactly what Trump and his Republican allies planned and carried out on January 6, 2021 as they murdered members of the Capitol police and defecated in the hallways of Congress.

Since they know the demographics of this country mean they will likely never win another national election, conservatives are willing to do anything — including horrific acts of violence — in order to take power by force.

One thing you can count on, however: When the “bloodshed” starts, you can rest assured that Gaetz and Huckabee will be in their chosen hiding place, tapping away on their cell phones as they post hateful screeds on social media.
