WATCH Matt Gaetz Get Swatted Down During A House Hearing: ‘You Can’t Handle The Truth!’

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) got his head handed to him during a hearing of the House Oversight Committee by a witness testifying on behalf of committee Democrats as Republicans continued to pursue their bogus, fact-free impeachment inquiry against President Joe Biden.

The witness was Lev Parnas, a close associate of Rudy Guiliani, who allegedly ordered him to find damaging information about Biden and his son, Hunter. Parnas spent four months in prison for crimes related to that activity.

Attempting to counter claims that Russia instigated the search for corruption allegations against Biden, Gaetz told Parnas, “So it sounds like everyone here today, the only one working for a Russian oligarch was you.”

His voice dripping with sarcasm, Gaetz added, “You were really worried about our democracy, and you were here to warn us, but you were working for a Russian oligarch, wanted to get marijuana licenses, but then you didn’t even do it.”

“No,” Parnas responded. “That’s a lie, Congressman Gaetz.”

“But instead of spending 50 years in prison, you got four months,” Gaetz told the witness. “The DOJ didn’t listen to the truth because if they would listen to the truth, you guys would have been all in jail.”

“You don’t want to hear the truth,” Parnas told the Florida Republican. “You can’t handle the truth, Matt Gaetz!”

“Look, the truth for you is taking money from Russians to buy marijuana businesses and then going to jail and then coming here to lie about Trump,” Gaetz insisted.

Republicans don’t have a shred of evidence that President Biden committed any crimes or impeachable offenses. Their inquiry is classic McCarthyism and it’s backfiring on them. You’d think they have enough sense to stop digging the hole they’re in any deeper. But they don’t, and they’re far too busy taking orders from failed former president Donald Trump to do what’s best for the country.

Hunter Biden Has A Devastating Comeback When Matt Gaetz Asks Him About His Drug Use

Hunter Biden’s closed-door testimony before the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday led to sparks between Biden and committee member Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) when the Florida congressman asked about drug usage by the president’s son, according to a transcript of the hearing.

Gaetz began by asking Biden, “Were you on drugs when you were on the Burisma board?”

Biden responded, “Mr. Gaetz, look me in the eye. You really think that’s appropriate to ask me?”

Gaetz, “Absolutely.”

“Of all the people sitting around this table,” Biden said, “do you think that’s appropriate to ask me?”

Biden’s comment was a reference to an ongoing House Ethics Committee investigation of Gaetz for alleged drug use and sex with underage girls who were reportedly transported across state lines.

“I will answer it this way,” Biden told Gaetz. “I have been absolutely transparent about my drug use. Was I an addict? Yes, I was an addict. What does that have to do with whether or not you’re going to go forward with an impeachment of my father other than to simply try to embarrass me?”

It remains to be seen if the House Ethics Committee will release the results of its investigation of Gaetz before the November election. The report could result in the congressman being booted from Congress.

A federal criminal investigation of Gaetz for sex trafficking ended in 2023 when the Justice Department declined to charge him with any crimes related to his actions, NBC News reported at the time.

Prosecutors had spent months investigating Gaetz’s personal conduct and, specifically, allegations that he was part of a scheme that led to the sex trafficking of a 17-year-old girl. At the core of their investigation was testimony from a former Gaetz associate, Joel Greenberg, who worked as a Florida tax collector.

Matt Gaetz’s Victory Lap Over Mitch McConnell’s Decision To Step Down Bites Him On The A**

Rep. Matt Gaetz’s (R-FL) online reaction to a decision from Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) to step down as GOP Senate leader in November boomeranged badly on him, resulting in complete humiliation for the controversial Floridian.

Gaetz expressed his glee on Twitter/X, posting, “We’ve now 86’d: McCarthy McDaniel McConnell Better days are ahead for the Republican Party.”

It didn’t take long before others reminded Gaetz that failed former president Donald Trump had once supported McCarthy, McDaniel, and McConnell. They also pointed out that the GOP has been on a major losing streak since it chose to fully embrace Trump despite his legal woes and attempts to overturn the 2020 election.

Social Media Points And Laughs After Matt Gaetz Explains Why He Won’t Watch The Super Bowl

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) wants the world to know that he won’t be watching today’s Super Bowl between the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers, and the reason he gave for why he won’t be tuning in set off a wave of mockery on social media.

According to Gaetz, he discussed the biggest pro football game of the year with his wife, Ginger.

Wife: Today is the Super Bowl!

Me: We aren’t watching.

Wife: Why?

Me: They’re desecrating America’s National Anthem by playing something called the “Black National Anthem.”

Wife: Does that mean Cardi is performing?

Yes, “Lift Every Voice and Sing” will indeed be played at today’s game. But a quick look at some of the lyrics to the song make you wonder why it’s so controversial to some.

Lift every voice and sing,

‘Til earth and heaven ring,

Ring with the harmonies of Liberty;

Let our rejoicing rise

High as the list’ning skies,

Let it resound loud as the rolling sea.

Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us,

Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us;

As many on Twitter/X rightly noted, conservatives and the MAGA faithful are the biggest whiners on the planet. They also reminded Matt of his own shady past.

Matt would love to watch the game, but he’ll be far too busy adding funds to his Venmo account for another illegal liaison with a girl young enough to be his daughter.

Gaetz Taunted At Trump Campaign Event: ‘What’s The Youngest Schoolgirl You’ve Been With?’

While he was speaking at Donald Trump’s campaign headquarters, Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) got reminded that he’ll never be able to live down the allegations that have been made against him regarding his reported love for underage girls.

Gaetz told those gathered at the Trump HQ, “Now, as to what I’d say to young folks today, man, you meet a young conservative today. It’s a different breed, because if they, if they’re outspoken, they’ve already been called every name in the book. Just for being a Republican, they’ve been called a racist, a sexist, a xenophobe, phobes I haven’t even heard of.”

That’s when a man dressed in Trump garb began heckling the controversial Florida Republican.

“What’s the youngest schoolgirl you’ve ever been with?”

The man also asked if Gaetz had flown on Jeffrey Epstein’s plane, but was quickly escorted from the room.

Gaetz told those who remained, “Think about being a part of a party where they haven’t even tried to make an argument about winning your vote. The Democratic Party today has basically put up as their candidate a nursing home escapee and the annoying lady from the HR department.”

 

Just last year, the Department of Justice decided not to charge Gaetz as part of a sex trafficking investigation. The congressman was accused of having sex with an underage girl and paying her off via Venmo to keep quiet.
