The Florida Republican is already under investigation for allegedly carrying an underage girl across state lines and paying her to have sex with him, yet he continues to post things on social media that are both ill-advised and downright creepy.
For example, the congressman thought he’d share with the entire internet a photo of his fiancé, Ginger Luckey, asleep next to him:
Is that bizarre, or what? First of all, he didn’t get her consent to take or post the photo, and second, why in the hell would anyone put that on Twitter for the world to see?
It didn’t take long before Gaetz got slapped down for what he’d done:
We’ve known for some time now that Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) is a complete idiot whose only purpose in life seems to be self-promotion. It’s the Donald Trump school of politics: Always keep your name in the news.
Of course, much of the publicity Gaetz has received in recent months is due to his alleged sexual trafficking of an underage girl, which could send him to prison for the rest of his life.
And yet, Gaetz continues to draw attention to himself, as if desperate to make a complete fool of himself on social media, which he did once again Wednesday after reading an article on a right-wing blog that suggested Twitter was allowing the Taliban to post on the social media site.
That led the congressman to post this tweet:
Taliban and Trump should both be on Twitter.
More legitimate than the last government in Afghanistan or the current government here. https://t.co/VN7oxtCHk8
So Matt Gaetz wants to see the Taliban and Trump on Twitter. And he thinks their “government” is more legitimate than the one that was elected overwhelmingly by the American people last November. Wow! That’s some serious flirting with outright treason.
As for Trump still being banned from Twitter, Gaetz and other Trump acolytes forget that he was repeatedly warned about his postings and ignored those warnings. He violated Twitter’s terms of service, and that’s why he got the boot.
Gaetz, on the other hand, is just a douchebag who loves Trump more than he loves almost anything except underage girls. And he got some serious pushback for his tweet:
I would have never believed it possible for elected official @RepMattGaetz to stoop any lower, to be even less patriotic, until he began rooting for a global terrorist group whose agenda is to annihilate America. #GOPDomesticTerroristshttps://t.co/xD3TrUi3um
The Taliban killed some 2,448 US service members you pathetic weasel. You’re cheering on our enemy for political points. Don’t you wave the flag in our faces anymore and don’t ever claim you support our veterans. Traitorous cartoon faced jackass.
Maybe when he gets to prison, Matty can brag to his fellow inmates about how much he loves the Taliban right before they tell him to shut up and put on the dress they gave him.
On Tuesday, as the first day of hearings began for the House Select Committee on January 6, a group of four Republican lawmakers decided they’d go to the Department of Justice building and protest the treatment of people arrested following the Capitol insurrection, whom they claim are “political prisoners.”
In attendance were Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene (GA), Matt Gaetz (FL), Louie Gohmert (Texas), and Paul Gosar (AZ), The Hill reports:
“(Greene, Gaetz, Gohmert, and Gosar) were holding a news conference outside the DOJ to protest the treatment of individuals arrested in connection to the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, when counterprotesters arrived on the scene.
“One protester repeatedly blew a whistle during the event, and other demonstrators were holding signs that read ‘Jan 6th was an inside job, vets for democrats’ and ‘Traitors + Rapists: Sit Down,’ the latter likely referring to Gaetz, who is under investigation for an alleged sexual relationship with a 17-year-old girl.”
The counterprotests were so loud and raucous that at one point a man announced:
“The left is interrupting the press conference, we need to end it.”
As the crowd was dispersing, a reporter repeatedly asked Gaetz:
Gaetz couldn’t walk fast enough to get away from the scene, and the question he was being asked came just hours after his future sister-in-law, Roxanne Luckey, posted a series of videos on TikTok in which she lambasted the Florida congressman, calling him “a literal pedophile.”
Roxanne Luckey, sister to large Republican donor Palmer Luckey and Ginger Luckey who is engaged to Congressman Matt Gaetz, is taking to TikTok to discuss Matt being a “literal pedophile”.
Gaetz is currently under federal investigation for allegedly being sexually active with an underage girl he trafficked across state lines, a crime which can carry a penalty of life in prison.
Gaetz, Greene, Gohmert, and Gosar are all trying their best to deflect attention from the fact that many in their party supported and continue to support the domestic terrorists who stormed the Capitol earlier this year. But all the distractions in the world won’t be able to paper over the fact that the current GOP is under the thrall of a monster named Trump and believes violence is more valuable than democracy.
Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) got dealt a gigantic dose of karma when he showed up at a California beach and agreed to pose with a man who called him a pedophile.
Gaetz is in the Golden State with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) for one of their pathetic “America First” rallies, and that’s where the good people at MeidasTouch.com had apparently arranged for a seemingly friendly supporter to approach Gaetz and tell him:
“Oh, my God! I’m so excited. Everybody thinks you’re crazy. I don’t think you’re crazy.
“People think you’re a pedophile! I don’t think you’re a pedophile. I don’t think you’re a pedophile at all. The charges against him are totally false.”
A man who appears to be some sort of security guard then enters the frame and breaks up the fun. Take a look:

Gaetz is indeed suspected of being fond of underage girls and is currently under investigation for sexually trafficking a child across state lines, which is a federal crime. One of his alleged co-conspirators is already cooperating with prosecutors and telling everything he knows about Gaetz’s after hours activities.
If Congressman Gaetz thinks things are bad now, just wait until he’s standing before a federal judge trying to explain why he enjoys hanging out around high schools so he can scope out victims.
Desperate to deflect attention from accusations that he sexually trafficked underage girls for his own perverted pleasure, Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) attempted to pick a fight with Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin by accusing the U.S. military of using “critical race theory” to the detriment of American national security.
Declaring that critical race theory is the “number one concern” of military officers, Gaetz then told Secretary Austin:
“I’ve heard those sentiments most frequently from units that are majority-minority. How should the Department of Defense think about critical race theory?”
Clearly agitated by such an absurd question, the defense secretary responded:
“I don’t know what the issue of critical race theory is. We do not teach critical race theory. We don’t embrace critical race theory. And I think that’s a spurious conversation. We are focused on extremist behaviors and not ideology, not people’s thoughts, not people’s political orientation.”
Austin then continued his verbal destruction of the Florida congressman by telling him:
“And thanks for your anecdotal input. But I would say that I’ve gotten ten times that amount of input — 50 times that amount of input on the other side that has said, ‘We’re glad to have had the ability to have a conversation without ourselves and our leadership.'”
Gaetz then dared to interrupt the defense chief:
“It may be that you’re receiving that input in the ratios you describe because it was your directive. It may be people are concerned about criticizing your decision.”
The Florida Republican also accused the defense secretary of “hiring a critical race theorist” as an adviser, which drew this response from Austin:
“This is the first I’ve ever heard [Bishop Garrison] being described as a critical race theorist. Let me just share one thing you brought up, Congressman, about the input that comes to me. I trust my leadership from top to bottom that they will give me fair and balanced and unvarnished input.
“And for you to say people are telling me what I want to hear, I get it. You know, maybe they are telling you what you want to hear.”
Matt Gaetz is a whiny little punk who allegedly enjoys sleeping with children. He belongs in prison and will likely be there very soon. Maybe when he gets there, he can discuss his fascination with critical race theory with his cellmate.
Here’s the video of Matt getting slapped down by Lloyd Austin:
