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.

WATCH Matt Gaetz Get Trolled To His Face At A GOP Christmas Party For Allegedly Sleeping With Underage Girls

When he showed up at the annual Strongsville, Ohio GOP Christmas party, Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) probably didn’t expect to be trolled to his face and on video for his alleged penchant of having sex with underage girls and then paying them hush money via Venmo.

And yet, there the Florida Republican was, though he probably wished he could have transported himself somewhere else.

Cleveland Scene reports:

Gaetz was presented with a surprise award: for his dedication to using Venmo to allegedly have sex with underage girls.

As you can see, the person who pulled the gag on Gaetz was rudely escorted from the stage by a cop.

When the laughter died down, the congressman tried to recover, telling attendees, “Ohio has become the beating red heart of the Midwest, and so I’m here to celebrate with some of the activists.”

After the video began circulating on Twitter, it drew plenty of commentary.

Kevin McCarthy On Matt Gaetz: Congress Would Benefit ‘Tremendously’ If He’s Expelled

Former Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) was asked today if he thought Congress would be better off if Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) is expelled from the body and made it clear that he still blames the Florida Republican for his ouster from the top post in the House.

Manu Raju was interviewing McCarthy and asked him directly, “How much would the Republican Party benefit if he were no longer a member of the House, in your opinion?” 

McCarthy replied:

“Oh, tremendously. I mean, people have to earn the right to be here. And I just think from, I mean, he’ll admit to you personally, he doesn’t have a conservative bent in his philosophy and just the nature of what he focuses on.”

So does that mean Gaetz needs to be removed? Raju inquired.

McCarthy: “That’s up to the conference. But I mean, I don’t believe the conference will ever heal if there’s no consequences for the action.”

You may recall that it was Gaetz who led the effort that resulted in McCarthy becoming the first House speaker in U.S. history to be removed from the post, as CNN reported in October.

Gaetz said Monday that he has “enough Republicans” to either push McCarthy from the speakership or make him cut a deal with Democrats to remain in power.

“I have enough Republicans where at this point next week, one of two things will happen. Kevin McCarthy won’t be the speaker of the House, or he’ll be the speaker of the House working at the pleasure of the Democrats. And I’m at peace with either result, because the American people deserve to know who governs them,” he told CNN’s Manu Raju.

Reportedly, the main reason Gaetz wanted McCarthy ousted is because the former speaker refused to put an end to an ongoing House Ethics Committee investigation of Gaetz for alleged drug use and sex with underage girls, both of which could indeed cost him his House seat.

Sounds like McCarthy is now ready for some major payback.

Matt Gaetz Showed Videos On House Floor ‘Of The Girls He Had Slept With’

A GOP colleague of Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) is making it clear that many in the Republican caucus are disgusted with the Florida congressman and have been for quite some time now, in large part because Gaetz has never made a secret of his sexual exploits, even bragging about them to his fellow House members and showing graphic videos of women he claimed to have slept with.

Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) told CNN’s Manu Raju that Gaetz had been relegated to virtual irrelevancy until he decided to oust House Speaker Kevin McCarthy.

“You’ve gotta think about this guy. This is a guy that didn’t have – that the media didn’t give the time of day to after he was accused of sleeping with an underage girl. And there’s a reason why no one in the conference came and defended him – because we had all seen the videos he was showing on the House floor that all of us had walked away, of the girls he had slept with.”

“He bragged about how he would crush E.D. (erectile dysfunction) medicine and chase it with energy drinks so he could go all night. This is obviously before he got married. And so, when that accusation came out, no one defended him. And then no one in the media would give him the time of the day. All of a sudden he found fame because he opposed the speaker of the House back in November. And he’s always stayed there. And he was never gonna leave until he got this last moment of fame by saying– by going after a motion to vacate.”

Gaetz was investigated by the Justice Department for allegedly paying underage girls to have sex with him, including allegations that he had transported minor girls across state lines for the purpose of sex. No charges were filed by the DOJ.

In recent weeks, however, Gaetz’s alleged past actions have come back to the fore, with reports indicating that many in the House GOP caucus are ready to boot him from the body once the House Ethics Committee concludes an investigation of him for suspected drug use and sex with minors.

For his part, Gaetz said he hardly knows Mullin, remarking:

“I don’t think Markwayne Mullin and I have said 20 words to each other on the House floor.”
“This is a lie from someone who doesn’t know me and who is coping with the death of the political career of his friend Kevin. Thoughts and prayers.”

Matt Gaetz is a pustule on the U.S. Congress. Here’s hoping his colleagues excise him from that body as soon as possible.
