Sonambulism Yesterday, Today, and Forever After! Please come CAPTION Congressman Matt Gaetz (R-FL)!




Rep. Matt ("My doctor said a lobotomy would be redundant" ) Gaetz is saying: "Jon, it's worse than a coup that's brewing inside the highest reaches of our government or assassination plots being planned by our law enforcement agencies to take Trump out. . . . It's worse than the armed rebellion that's sure to come if we can't stop it in its tracks. . . . It's even worse even Armageddon and the extinction of the human race. . . . It's deep-state, secret liberals who insist on going by the letter of the law!"

In 2008, Gaetz was arrested for a DUI as he was driving back from the Swamp, a nightclub on Okaloosa Island, Florida, in a 2001 BMW SUV registered to his father. While he was arrested and refused to take a breathalyzer test, "he didn't have his license suspended for a year when he refused the breath test—as Florida law dictates. And he didn't have that refusal used against him in a criminal proceeding." At the time of his arrest and consequent criminal proceedings, his father was serving as a local politician. The attorneys agreed to drop the case, despite the fact that the police reported that "Gaetz fumbled for his license and registration, his eyes were watery and bloodshot, and he swayed and staggered when he got out of the car," and Gaetz cited the dropped charges as proof that he was innocent.[2]

Between 1999 and 2014, Gaetz received 16 speeding tickets in Florida.[3]
