Far-right Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) has insinuated that fellow House Republican Jason Smith (R-MO) is a closeted gay man.
Gaetz made the insinuation on a recent installment of his Firebrand podcast. In it, Gaetz replayed Smith’s comments calling Gaetz a “foolish liar” and adding, “If Matt Gaetz’s lips are moving, it’s only lies that’s coming out of it.”
Smith accused Gaetz of lying about former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) sabotaging the candidacies of several Republican nominees for Speaker. House Republicans nominated three unsuccessful candidates and considered many others for the leadership role after Gaetz and seven other House Republicans voted to eject McCarthy from the speakership in early October. Republicans eventually voted rabidly anti-LGBTQ+ Rep. Mike Johnson (R-LA) into the position.
I can understand Matt Gaetz feels right at home and very comfortable in the Republican Party as a vile and disgusting child sex trafficer and misogynist. But what I will never understand is a gay republican.
Gay people can also be selfish assholes, who lack empathy and want in on the grift.
I’ve met one
I’m related to one. He’s an interesting case in cognitive dissonance.
Genuinely curious does he think gay people don’t deserve rights or that the Republicans aren’t really trying to destroy gay rights?
Some of both actually. He’s got money and always lived comfortably. Thinks all those vocal LGBTQ people are just doing it for the attention.
Think Peter Thiel but far less rich and not quite that crazy.
True. I wonder how they feel about lynching though? Because make no mistake about it that’s where Republicans are headed.
I wonder if the gay republicans or the black republicans will be the first to get their faces eaten?
Or the Hispanic or the female or the Jewish or the…
The Hispanic members of the Proud Boys always amused me.
Exactly 5 seconds after the Proud Boys have won their ethnostate:
Yep, exactly. It is almost like idiots spent no time learning anything at all about history.
What did they think the Night of the Long Knives was about, anyway? What about Jews for Hitler (really a thing)? How did that go?
All of these morons, even if “racially pure” and male and straight/xtian - did they not learn what happens in the power struggles after? Sure, they may have the blessing of the fascists at the top for a minute to run amok and kill, etc. But how many of the “vanguard” survive for very long? Even those that end up at the top end up with a bullet in their head, literally or metaphorically, eventually - Hitler, Mussolini…and it was all for naught.
lol, proud boys are a homoerotic fight club
Pillow fight club.
Everyone thinks they can get out of that part
Because of that last part: I guess that’s what also annoys me so much about certain segments of the left these days. They are so concerned about what is essentially minutiae of culture wars and while they SAY they realize the existential threat that cons pose, they sure don’t seem to act like it. I almost wonder if some of them are plants put there by the likes of Putin to make sure fascism has a better chance here.
BINGO. See Milo Y and Andrew Sullivan as cases in point.

I get the feeling they have an authority fetish, can’t properly get off unless they’re breaking the rules.
Gaetz would probably know, to be honest. It seems congressional Republicans are fond of their Coke-fuelled orgies, at least according to the only member they actually ousted (remember Cawthorn?).
The only real sin Republicans care about enough to do something about is revealing their secrets.
Oh yeah? Did he live with an unrelated, underaged male housemate or some shit?
They’re eating each other.
True, but they are still shitting all over America together
Shitshow Influenced Corrupt Organization
How would you pronounce the acronym (S.I.C.O.)? Psycho or sicko they both work.
Yes.
In more ways than one.
Ah, we lost McCarthy, but that’s triggered more (new-age) McCarthyism. Seems about right for them.
Funny coming from him, if certain rumours are to be believed.
Nestor says “Hi!”
Uk kids fake when he’s named after the character from Nintendo power magazine
According to the Republican Party, being homosexual is worse than being a supporter of rape.
“Worst thing you can do is get caught with a dead girl or a live boy”
Here comes the next wave of McCarthyism. What a fine look for the government of the United States of America.
Smells like projection.
Its always projection with these guys
He probably learned that from a very personal encounter with him. Or a common friend.
Ah, reminds me of deeply closeted Norm Macdonald.
I miss both of them so much.
Takes one to know one I guess
every accusation is a confession
O NO!!!
Anyway.
So he’s saying he has gaydar?..
