A.G. GancarskiU.S. Rep. Matt Gaetz dished out the red meat on Saturday night’s iteration of the Judge Jeanine show on Fox News, depicting “unhinged mobs” as a sign of “Joe Biden‘s America.”
While street theater has been a hallmark of the season, it hit too close to home Thursday night when VIPs were accosted by purportedly peaceful protesters en route from the White House to their parking spaces..
The leftists may have had their say Thursday, but at least in terms of the Saturday night audience on the Fox News Channel, it was Gaetz who got in the last word.
Gaetz said, regarding the left: “Tweet the wrong thing they’ll cancel you on the line. Back the wrong candidate, they’ll attack you in the streets. But this is sign of Joe Biden’s America.”
But he wasn’t done there. He suggested that Biden may just want the action in the streets.
“Lockdowns and riots are connected,” Gaetz said, describing a path that “leads to civil discord.”
“Maybe that’s what Joe Biden really wants,” he suggested.
The Congressman, in discussing police apparently standing down as crowds harassed Republican dignitaries, stood athwart against the “woketopia.”
“Defund the police is not just a slogan or a hashtag,” Gaetz said. Rather, it’s the policy of “Democratic mayors in Democratic cities.”
With time running out on the segment, Gaetz reprised one of his kicker lines from his Republican National Convention oration last week.
“If we lose America,” Gaetz said, “Joe Biden may not even notice.”
Gaetz, a Republican from the Panhandle, is not the only Florida Republican with potential 2024 Presidential ambitions to condemn the recent confrontations of GOP worthies as a cautionary tale about the Democratic ticket.
Sen. Rick Scott on Thursday likewise decried the attacks as an example of what happens in “Joe Biden’s America.“

These lying hypocrites are working double-time to deflect their deluded listeners from the truth that this is in fact Donald Trump’s America: all of these riots are happening on Trump’s watch. Biden isn’t even an office holder right now and has no power to address the riots themselves or their causes.
Trump does, and being the incompetent, criminal buffoon that he is, isn’t doing it.

I just want to say the days of “Peaceful Supporter Protesters” seems to be over. The situation is getting worse and worse until we now hear reports of guns shots heard after the Trump campaign this time. How much worse?? So folks perhaps in the safety of all people just cancel don’t allow any more protesters any longer. If not, the fear that the next gun shot heard will not be a good one any longer. Washington blames the mayor, maybe so but who sponsors the events should extra steps of precaution is a suggestion.

So you think the sponsors are responsible for the safety of citizens? You need a refresher course in the Constitution. Governance in Democrat cities has failed. That’s the realty

Peaceful protests have been hijacked by right wing agitators, who have been hired to promote Trump’s campaign agenda. They care not a wit about lost lives, regardless of color, as long as they can produce footage that trump can use to his advantage. It’s all about staging for the reality TV “President.”

“Red meat”. Your opinion, but it has no place in what’s supposed to be reporting. How about asking the Democrats why they were silent about rioting until they were called out. Inconvenient truth

Charlotte,
What about the Trump supporters in Portland and Kenosha killing protesters. Is this MAGA?
Is Trump’s rhetoric calling for a civil war? Gaetz, Scott, and Trump are hate mongers looking to divide Americans, a Putin’s Dream.

Gaetz knows FEAR is all Trump has left. They want us to fear a handful of rioters and jokers the same way almost every Republican officeholder fears disagreeing with Trump.
Watched a video of folks battling each other in Portland. Far right vs. far left. They looked like 20 somethings, battling like European hooligans after a soccer match. They were enjoying it. Those itching for trouble are using the politics as an outlet. One fat guy had an American flag on a 5′ pole and was using it to stab at others. No cops were involved and nothing besides pride seemed to be damaged.
When the trouble in Minneapolis broke out, one of the first looters shown on tv was a white guy who looked like Kid Rock, arms laden with piles of cheap clothing. Doubt he was a conservative or liberal, or anything political…just a thief.
Let’s not be distracted by nonsense.

As if the rioters who break the law wear their party affiliations on their lapels. This is fear mongers trying to paint the Democrats as rioters and socialist. This president can not point to one thing he has done to move our country forward. 0 accomplishments and a scandalous presidency.
Matt Gaetz is a do nothing pussy and a lap dog.

Hey Gaetz, your “dear leader” is in charge of the country, so take responsibility foe the buffoons (Trump) lack of action after proclaiming before his inauguration that he will return law and order to the U.S. Just another one of Trump’s litany of lies. Lying is the one thing Trump does well along with brainwashing his moronic followers!

OMG all this blah blah blah from a guy who used political influence to have the case dropped after he BROKE THE LAW by driving 48 in a 25 zone and admitting he “had a few beers” but refused a sobriety test.
Just another Republican rightwingnut kissing up to the Sociopath in Chief in the White House.

Matt Gaetz is a joke. He is a backward, extremist Republican. He takes his dinosaur out for a walk every morning.
