Matt Gaetz gets laughed at after his attempt to derail Mueller hearing hilariously backfires

Source: raw story



Published 49 mins ago on June 20, 2019



Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) .......................................

During his allotted time, Gaetz changed the subject away entirely from the Mueller report and decided to grill one of the witnesses for her views on border security.


In particular, Gaetz asked Carrie Cordero, a Robert M. Gates senior fellow and general counsel at the Center for New American Security, about her work writing about the security problems posed by Mexican drug cartels.

“Is it your impression that, since you wrote this in 2013, that the circumstances on our southern border have gotten better or worse?” Gaetz asked.
...........................................


“When I wrote that report, I thought it was an issue that needed attention,” she said. “There is clearly a humanitarian problem on the southern border that needs to be addressed. What you will not find in that article is any mention of a wall as a response to that challenge, nor any encouragement of any use of emergency authorities.”


At this point, many people in the room laughed at Gaetz.

Whomever it was that kept interrupting Gates knew what they were doing. Gates lost his roll/steam from pandering to the Fox News and radio crowds by repeating what they hear on Fox and from their dashboard. Well played.

...but do not spend time trying to shame other people that throw out online, and obviously empty, statements concerning the overwhelming anger and frustration we feel having these assholes in power.

However, the irony in my last statement amuses me as I just spent time, online, trying to shame you.

Matt Gaetz Busted For Lying: Not 'At The Border,' Not Trump's Wall

Troy Hayden, a reporter for the local Fox affiliate who covered the event, noted that it took place in Coolidge, Arizona. Coolidge is over 100 miles from the border.

Fucking idiot.

Good for her, and this is how all of the deplorable reps should be handled in the future, until they learn that being made fools of, is ONLY a good electoral strategy AS FAR AS FAR AS THE FOOLS ARE CONCERNED (and when enough of them lose, the mathematicians will win out)

However, he did bring up one interesting point: why have we not yet subpoenaed Robert Mueller?

Mainly for parroting their talking points.

His body language said it all (head tilted back and going back and forth), he thought he had himself a WINNER and was ready to go on a roll. Whomever threw brief breaks at him twice really took the wind out of his sails.

Gets his ass kicked or handed to him is a good one in my book. I hope his constituents here in NW FL saw him hard at work getting humiliated.
