CNN’s Abby Phillip Shuts Down Matt Gaetz Twice In A Minute, And It’s Double The Fun

CNN host Abby Phillip sharply reminded Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) that Republicans still do not have evidence of any illegal activity by President Joe Biden ― and then she did it again. (Watch the video below.)The far-right lawmaker appeared on the news network Tuesday after House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) ordered an impeachment inquiry into the president for alleged influence peddling.McCarthy defended the move, which avoided a likely-to-fail House vote, claiming that allegations against Biden in relation to his son Hunter Biden’s business dealings merit deeper review.Gaetz continued to echo GOP talking points about Hunter Biden’s laptop and his father’s presence on a phone call with Hunter’s business associates ― none of which has yielded proof of wrongdoing by the president.Just ...

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.

Donalds and Gaetz Light up the Call for Action, Tucker Savages Mike Pence – RedState

We covered the Family Leadership Summit on Friday in Iowa where several of the 2024 Republican candidates were grilled by Tucker Carlson, and we got a good chance to size them up a bit more. Former Gov. Asa Hutchinson and former Vice President Mike Pence imploded with their answers, Hutchinson on the transgender issue and Pence on Ukraine and Jan. 6. The person who said some things with breakout potential was Vivek Ramaswamy. Former South Carolina governor Nikki Haley sort of stepped in it, too, with the base in her answers about the 2020 election. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis gave generally good policy answers and committed no major mistakes. All of that is important to help us decide on who we want as our presidential candidate. But to win, we need to be committed to determining how...

Democratic Lawmaker Tells Matt Gaetz Off To His Face On House Floor

Rep. Steven Horsford (D-Nev.) seems to have had about enough of certain people ― including Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.). Horsford served up a passionate defense of diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives as Republican lawmakers pushed a bill to ban such programs from the military. “This amendment does nothing to address the recruitment shortfalls that our services are facing and instead it will only make it more difficult to recruit Americans of diverse backgrounds representing the true makeup of our nation,” he said. Then, Horsford spoke to his GOP colleagues. “What are you so afraid of? Why do you keep bringing these divisive issues to the body of this floor?” he asked, before addressing Gaetz directly: “You are out of order! you are exhausting, Mr. Gaetz!” Gaetz called the comments “ch...
