Matt Gaetz Backs Gingrich's Threat to Punish Jan. 6 Investigators

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Embattled MAGA congressman Matt Gaetz enthusiastically endorsed former House Speaker Newt Gingrich’s suggestion to jail members of the Jan. 6 House committee, telling ex-Trump strategist Steve Bannon on Monday that “Newt’s right” and Republicans should not be “limp-wristed.”

During a Monday morning appearance on Bannon’s War Room: Pandemic podcast, Gaetz—who is currently under federal investigation of sex trafficking and obstruction of justice—first framed his own legal troubles as part of a “Deep State” conspiracy that included the Jan. 6 attack. (Both Gaetz and Bannon have repeatedly peddled baseless theories that the Capitol riots were a “false flag” operation orchestrated by the federal government.)

1. Oh, that would be great to see.

Sure, Newt and Matt, you two go ahead and file a criminal complaint against the committee. You'll be the laughingstock of the country.

2. Hey Grumpy,

While I agree with your urging the 'Dum-dums' to go ahead and file complaints - you're a bit late with your last part.

They ALREADY ARE the laughingstock of the country! They'll only be increasing their 'final score!'

5. Okay, dang-blast it.

A day late and two bits short.

[Atticus]

3. Well, I was already extremely intimidated and worried by such a threat from someone of Gingrich's

stature, but now that someone of Gaetz's intellectual heft agrees with him, I'm TERRIFIED!

(I hope that made you smile. I had to stop typing it twice because I was so tickled! )

4. Gaetz is as terrified as Newt Gangrene.

Both of them are in it up to their beady little eyeballs.

6. I'm not sure that Gangreen is - yet........

I think he's just jealous being left out of the 'party!'

7. Matt wants a cell mate

8. Newt Gingrich? Matt Gaetz?

The jokes just write themselves don’t they.

What did the pedophile say to the serial philanderer?
Do you know the name of a good lawyer?

9. Go for it, punch face. nt

10. Don't you have more immediate worries, Rep. Gaetz?

I suppose indulging Newton's fantasies is preferable to facing the gut-churning reality of being held responsible for your crimes, but you don't have to be public about it.

[Mr. Ected]

11. Fascists gotta fash

They're so keen on locking us up that they forget that our criminal code is real and their baloney is fake as hell.
