That's how those jerks are. I've met plenty like him. They are trying to sidetrack the conversation and get the heat off themselves that way. It is a diversionary tactic.

Over your theoretical black child while arguing with an actual black man about systemic racism in law enforcement...
Having said that why in the world would anyone ever yield time to Matt Gaetz? That he would ever say anything at all in good faith can be assumed not to happen.

He’s worn it before. Looked good on him. Covered a lot of his surface ugliness. Inside? Well that’s another story.
