Matt Gaetz Says He And Jim Jordan Have A Plan To Ruin Government

Republican Congressman Matt gates cruises to a fairly easy primary victory this week. And because he's in a deep red district, he is most likely going to get reelected. Now, the investigation that's going on with him could derail all of that, but will deal with that when it comes, if it comes. But Matt gates says he's already got a plan. He and Jim Jordan been working together. They know exactly how Republicans are going to ruin the federal government. Should Republicans take back the house of representatives in the midterm? So here is Matt gates explaining how he and Jim Jordan are destroying the government. Take a look.

I have, uh, a vision that is specific for the Republican control of the house and divided government. We have to convert every single committee to an oversight committee. Yeah. And once we commit to that paradigm, then you could say, okay, you don't have to create like a select committee. You just assign, you know, the hunter Biden matter to foreign affairs, you assign vaccine injuries to the healthcare committees. You assign breaking up big tech to the commerce committee. You assign getting, uh, the woke is out of our military to the armed services committee. And you know, Jim Jordan and I started talking like this many months ago and we've heard Kevin McCarthy really dovetail into that thinking quite nicely. So what was once kind of a radical, unprecedented perspective on how to utilize the majority now has become pretty mainstream two

One. So we're just gonna turn every committee into an investigative committee, instead of doing things like working on the budget or coming up with legislation to make your lives better, or really do anything to fix any problem anywhere in the world, we're just gonna investigate everything you want. Anthony Fauci investigated. Boom, we got that. You want the vaccines investigated, boom, we got that. You want hunter Biden investigated. We got that here, there, and everywhere you want the DOJ investigated. No problem. Matt gates says we're gonna handle each and every bit of it because me and Jim Jordan came up with this brilliant plan that as he mentioned, and this is the most terrifying part, even house minority leader, Kevin McCarthy appears to now be on board with that's what Kevin McCarthy wants to do because Matt gates and Jim Jordan are what's so, so influential. So, so well liked out there among the general public.

No, they may be able to easily win in their bright red districts, but they don't exactly play too well outside of their districts. You know? And, uh, we've seen that of course, with the events that these two morons have held BS and Butthead basically is what they are in other areas outside their district. You know, sparsely attended, not a whole lot of people showing up to support 'em. And if Kevin McCarthy wants to go along with this plan, then I say full steam ahead, because what's the worst case scenario for Democrats. If all these investigations take place, criminals go to jail. I, I, I, I don't even think that's a bad case scenario. Even if it's a Democrat. If somebody broke the law, hold him accountable, send him to jail, let 'em go through the justice system. I got no problem with that. And you shouldn't neither, by the way, best case scenario for Democrats is that Republicans spend the next two years in the house of representatives doing nothing but investigations, just investigate, investigate, investigate, follow Matt gates' plan and watch how that plays out for you in 2024.

That's my best advice to Republicans cuz here's the thing, as gates mentioned, he's now getting Kevin McCarthy on board. He's starting to dovetail into this idea because just a couple months ago, Kevin McCarthy was uh, basically dismissing Republican plans to do nothing but investigate because at the time Kevin McCarthy understood. And I, I I think maybe it was him that said this on record or a different Republican. I don't remember, but either way somebody with a bit of a brain at the time said, if we spend the next two years doing nothing but investigations, we are handing 20, 24 over to the Democrats.
