Being closeted gay is just something we've come to expect from Republicans. This is not Earth-shattering.

[nattywho]

This Republican Party is a hot mess and truly an embarrassment!!!

[stevenjamison]

Gaetz is proving to be EXACTLY who I thought he was.

[taylorphoenix]

That’s literally the most juvenile-grade school attack you can lob at someone… 🗣️ “Oh yeah! Well you’re gay!”

[atmosfear]

Gaetz has no lips. They don't even cover his teeth. Lol. He looks like Beavis 😂

[gerrylewis]

As a straight guy? I am quite happy and comfortable to have the odd beer with a couple of gay friends.
However, I wouldn’t be either happy or comfortable drinking with someone who has been accused of pimping out, trafficking and having sex with underage girls.

[douglasspringer]

Gaytz calls somebody else gay? Child molester Gaytz? He should be locked up like his pal. Above the law. Unbelievable.

[Tony__Tone]

He's just trying to deflect from the fact that he's a pedophile

The bar is so low for rethuglicans that you need miners to dig it up. Matt heard about the miners and got all excited.

[timoutlaw]

Don’t understand how Matt Gatez has time for a Podcast but doesn’t have time to do his actual job.

[kesleycottrell]

How did Matt make it this long without getting punched.

[joellunsford]

It least his not traveling from state to state with under age girls. This party is a disgrace .

[beanabovethefrank]

What is going on with the 11-year-olds in the Republican Party? Are any of them interested in passing legislation at all?

[sunsetpalms]

How much money did Gaetz have to pay to keep himself out of prison, does anyone know?

[RocketMan-fm]

That’s rich coming from an accused serial sex predator of minors.

[DevilDelta]

If Beavis and Butthead had a baby, it would be the real-life villain known as Matt Gaetz. Just look at his little beady eyes and huge ass forehead. Total villain

[joefaccio]

And smith replied, i know you are but what am i

[adamroth]

Good morning from Sweden and a Swede who is sincerely sad that a country I love has changed so enormously. The shooting in Maine was commented by the new speaker with the classic "it's people who kill, not guns" ??. That an American politician sits and makes fun of someone's sexual orientation in 2023? ? When 60 million support a sex offender? A "president" if waved away a pandemic that cost over a million American lives? ? When a party that is known for standing up against former dictatorships themselves begins to appear as fascists ?? This is undoubtedly one of the darkest periods in US history. The only solace is the belief that a great, great majority of your people will never let us win ( Love from Sweden

Accusations by Matt Gaetz should be taken with a very large bucket of salt.

[archuleta]

My question is how did Matt Gaetz acquire this information🤫🤣🤣🤣🍆
