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.
Yep...................
PLEASE listen to War Room.
That narrow “non constitutional defense” means the entire tsunami of Democrat attacks against Trump as causing a deadly insurrection will go unanswered. The Rat case is that Trump told a “big lie” over and over about election fraud, but that he had no proof, etc.
Even if Trump is acquitted, the slur against him (and us!) over “there was no election fraud” will stand forever as the final history.
The best defense is a good offense, not a timid, “Please don’t hit me any more, it’s not fair, it’s not constitutional” defense.
The trial isn’t about the election, it’s a complete sham trial.
It would be a waste of Gaetz’s seat.
Yep, moving from NY to Florida in 5 years or so and will help make my new home even more conservative.
He can resign then run again and win his seat.
Or run against Rubio in the senate and take his seat!
Sounds like a win/win that the rats in power don’t want!
Not so solid then.......
“centerpiece must be exposing the truth about the stolen election.”
The case isn’t about “stolen election”, it’s about sedition. Justifying sedition is not an affirmative defense, especially to a kangaroo court.
“... and thus we prove the election was ‘won’ thru fraud, justifying Trump’s rhetoric.”
“Thank you for admitting Trump incited insurrection. Guilty as charged.”
Gaetz is truly one of the “good guys” in congress. Most of the R’s are snakes.
Where did they get this argument? Is it in the Constitution?
What is this Constitution, which some people outside of Congress keep mentioning?
False, I have not ‘pushed’ the clearly in need of medical help, Lin Wood. I am aslo the one who has openly said that Trump played a huge bluff with his WO13848, a bluff which the globalist oligarchy called and raised the pot as we watched Trump fold when his bluff was trounced. I have endorsed Gen McInerny because I happen to know the raid in Germany did take place, though the shootout claim is questionable ... I do not have knowledge of a shootout whereas I do have on the raid taking place. So you can call my posts / judgment garbage, but it is just exposing your biased foolishness. Are you a Catholic?
Gaetz knows how to argue, he’s a genius of logic and presentation.
If he has 30 seconds, minutes, or hours, he’s a killer at debate.
Imagine 80 year old pro-communist “Leaky Leahy” trying to gavel him into silence.
It will be better television than any courtroom drama ever filmed.
RINO Rubio is up for election in 2022. Gaetz would whip him.
Just a thought...if all patriotic office holders suddenly resigned AS ONE, what message would that send to our political foes (Dems, RINO’s, uninformed populace, arrogant libs and progs.)?
I’m not so sure that stepping away from our corrupt government is a bad idea - if done on a large scale. One person of conscience here or there garners little attention, but if a third of Congress resigned...I’m thinking small to mid-size quake will reverberate across the land (and perhaps get some folks to think for a change).
How can Adam Schiff (D) replace Justice Roberts to oversee the case?
This is batcrazy malarkey.
I was thinking the same thing!!
>>> Trump already has representation, and the trial isn’t about the election. <<<
Good grief! Excuse me! The ELECTION is PRECISELY why there is a TRIAL!
Me: Smacking forehead with open palm over and over and over in exasperation.
If this happens it would get the attention of the 75 million people who voted for Trump.
It would also get the attention of Florida Voters when Gaetz primaries Micro Rubio in 2022.
Yes the GOP RATS will not like this to happen.
The centerpiece of the sedition case is based on Trump repeating a “big lie” about a “stolen election” that was actually free and fair.
Inciting the Reichstag Riot “insurrection” based on his Jan 6 speech is already a dead letter.
“””How red is his seat? How likely is someone else on the republican side to win it?”””
Gaetz’s district is so RED that it BLEEDS.
There are hundreds of garbage posts from you.
I remember you well from numerous threads.
I believe I was a fool because I didn’t recognize the 187-D chess being played.
I won’t argue anymore with you, as it’s a fool’s errand to argue with crazy.
