Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) insisted to a crowd of supporters in Florida on Friday that he was the victim of “the lies” and “the smears” of his critics as he faces a Justice Department inquiry over whether he broke sex trafficking laws.
“So when you see the leaks and the lies and the falsehoods and the smears, when you see the anonymous sources and insiders forecasting my demise, know this: They aren’t really coming for me. They’re coming for you. I’m just in the way.”
Did Gaetz have permission to steal this from Trump’s speech? Can we add a charge of plagiarism, or would this be considered a freebee because it’s propaganda?
This speech was at the Doral, which means Trump must have approved it. That’s interesting. I thought he was being advised to keep some distance from Gaetz?
I guess it doesn’t matter in the long run. When Gaetz is led away in handcuffs it won’t have any significant blowback for Trump.
“The smears against me range from distortions of my personal life to wild — and I mean wild — conspiracy theories. I won’t be intimidated by a lying media,”Gaetz said.
I saw a clip of him delivering this applause line to the sexual predator-loving Women for America First. Even the crickets and the bedbugs failed to respond.
