Rep. Matt Gaetz insinuates GOP Rep. Jason Smith is a closeted gay man
And Smith isn't the only Republican who is being accused of living a closeted life...
Far-right Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) has insinuated that fellow House Republican Jason Smith (R-MO) is a closeted gay man.
Gaetz made the insinuation on a recent installment of his Firebrand podcast. In it, Gaetz replayed Smith’s comments calling Gaetz a “foolish liar” and adding, “If Matt Gaetz’s lips are moving, it’s only lies that’s coming out of it.”
Smith accused Gaetz of lying about former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) sabotaging the candidacies of several Republican nominees for Speaker. House Republicans nominated three unsuccessful candidates and considered many others for the leadership role after Gaetz and seven other House Republicans voted to eject McCarthy from the speakership in early October. Republicans eventually voted rabidly anti-LGBTQ+ Rep. Mike Johnson (R-LA) into the position.
You're viewing a single thread.
I can understand Matt Gaetz feels right at home and very comfortable in the Republican Party as a vile and disgusting child sex trafficer and misogynist. But what I will never understand is a gay republican.
Gay people can also be selfish assholes, who lack empathy and want in on the grift.
I've met one
I'm related to one. He's an interesting case in cognitive dissonance.
Genuinely curious does he think gay people don't deserve rights or that the Republicans aren't really trying to destroy gay rights?
Some of both actually. He's got money and always lived comfortably. Thinks all those vocal LGBTQ people are just doing it for the attention.
Think Peter Thiel but far less rich and not quite that crazy.
True. I wonder how they feel about lynching though? Because make no mistake about it that’s where Republicans are headed.
I wonder if the gay republicans or the black republicans will be the first to get their faces eaten?
Or the Hispanic or the female or the Jewish or the…
The Hispanic members of the Proud Boys always amused me.
Exactly 5 seconds after the Proud Boys have won their ethnostate:
Yep, exactly. It is almost like idiots spent no time learning anything at all about history.
What did they think the Night of the Long Knives was about, anyway? What about Jews for Hitler (really a thing)? How did that go?
All of these morons, even if "racially pure" and male and straight/xtian - did they not learn what happens in the power struggles after? Sure, they may have the blessing of the fascists at the top for a minute to run amok and kill, etc. But how many of the "vanguard" survive for very long? Even those that end up at the top end up with a bullet in their head, literally or metaphorically, eventually - Hitler, Mussolini...and it was all for naught.
lol, proud boys are a homoerotic fight club
Pillow fight club.
Everyone thinks they can get out of that part
Because of that last part: I guess that's what also annoys me so much about certain segments of the left these days. They are so concerned about what is essentially minutiae of culture wars and while they SAY they realize the existential threat that cons pose, they sure don't seem to act like it. I almost wonder if some of them are plants put there by the likes of Putin to make sure fascism has a better chance here.
BINGO. See Milo Y and Andrew Sullivan as cases in point.
Some people are just selfish and want to watch other’s suffering. It isn’t exclusive to straight people.
I get the feeling they have an authority fetish, can't properly get off unless they're breaking the rules.
