Matt Gaetz was on with Bannon for the past half hour. The gist is they both think that "the best defense is a good offense" and that the centerpiece must be exposing the truth about the stolen election.
The GOPe Senate HATES this idea, and says Gaetz cannot do it while he is a sitting Congressman.
Matt Gaetz says that he will resign from Congress immediately in order to defend Trump in the Senate.
Matt sees the hand writing on the wall with the GOPe. I hope DJT accepts his offer.
He can act as lawyer and then hopefully run in the special election to reclaim his seat.
Flashback: “Joe Namath Quits Over Batchelors 3”
Yet sitting congress critters can be on the prosecution team? They make these rules up as they go.
Yes, he can run against Rubio the GOPe open-border RINO.
Me too.
Florida is ground zero for Patriot Revolution😎
The Senate will not allow Gaetz (nor Trump) to take over the Senate floor and try to tell them things they don’t want to hear. They would be immediately gaveled down and removed.
Whatever the Senate impeachment trial turns into, it will not feature a serious discussion of 2020 election fraud.
“He can resign then run again and win his seat.”
In 1983, then Dem Rep Phil Gramm resigned his seat in Congress because he was switching parties and becoming a Republican. He wanted voters to decide whether they wanted him as a republican. A special election was held and he won convincingly.
I’d hope Gaetz would be able to do the same - resign, defend Trump in the trial and then run in a special election for his seat.
It is sad how many question courage. America is being flushed down the fascist drain, a man stands against the evil, and he is questioned as if he is foolish. That is disgusting and all to telling of the give-up mindset the media manipulations have accomplished.
I was listening, not taking notes, I only paraphrased after Gaetz was done at 10:30.
My memory is that it was the Senate ethics panel, something like that, but instead of challenging this, Gaetz just said, “Fine, then I’ll resign, because this is more important than my seat in Congress.”
Florida panhandle district would be considered safe for R's even in the new age of engineered elections.
The institutions are not broken the people in the institutions do not know how to operate the institutions as designed. Just beacuse a newbie driver runs into a tree with his bright new Corvette, doesn’t mean that the Corvette was broken before he hit the tree...just sayin’.
Maybe he needs some coin.
That’s a terrible idea, we need him in Congress, the Senate Kangaroo Court will never let them present the evidence of fraud.
Free Republic is not what it used to be. It should be called Convenient for me Republic.
His seat is RED, but I think they are really after him for going to Wyoming to fight ultra establishment member cheney.
The GOPe is disgusting me more each day.
Wasn’t Scarborough your rep?
Agreed. I predict there will be 100% agreement on rules of evidence. There may or may not be debate on the subject, but the decision is already made.
