Matt Gaetz Tells Iowa State Fair Crowd That Washington Can Be Changed ‘Only Through Force’ – RedState

Florida Republican Matt Gaetz set off a chain reaction of exploding heads on the left (that is figurative, not literal, as I don’t want to get flagged by Facebook or Community Noted by Twitter for spreading disinformation) with a comment he made at the Iowa State Fair. Standing near former President Trump, Gaetz said, “only through force do we make any change in a corrupt town like Washington, D.C.” Matt Gaetz: “Only through force do we make any change…” pic.twitter.com/b9mSi6aGRK — Frank Figliuzzi (@FrankFigliuzzi1) August 12, 2023 Mr. President, I cannot stand these people that are destroying our country.

Some of the Republican candidates are in for the Iowa State Fair on Saturday, campaigning for some votes. Among the Republicans who showed up in Iowa was Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. He got followed by a leftist group trying to disrupt his events.
