Matt Gaetz tries to engineer a cheap soundbyte of faux outrage over 'critical race theory,' only to have his ass handed to him in a paper bag by General Milley.
Whatever you do...DO NOT spread this video around! The entire GOP's culture war strategy for the 2022 midterms revolves around generating faux outrage over 'critical race theory.' Fox News is devoting HOURS to it EVERY DAY. (Amazing, when you realize that neither they nor their viewers have any idea what it is.) The LAST thing they need is for the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs to say it has VALIDITY!

What he said, either way, was freaking stellar

(15,412 posts)I wonder if the right is all uptight because we have a black Sec of Def? For the first time in history.
That couldn't be it, could it?
There is a big part of me that thinks Jan 6 was Obama's fault. Really. All the racists in the country couldn't deal with a black president, especially one whose biggest crime in office was wearing a tan suit. They flipped out, elected Trump and followed the racist over the edge.

(2,529 posts)Gaetz isn't used to be dressed down like that - and I am sure he ran like hell when that meeting was over.
Only thing better would have been Milley poking him in the chest as he rattled off his points.

Gaetz and his followers are too stupid to understand they just had their heads handed to them.

And those were flip phones, but they were extraordinary at the time. For people like me, we are always afraid that we will cause some massive power failure or explosion, like those early movies showed. When I was in college, the computers were behind a locked door, and all the people who went in there wore white coats and name tags.

(4,305 posts)Republicans on Facebook NEED TO SEE THIS. Apparently, I am not competent to share this on Facebook. I promise I will add "The Union Forever! " to it, if I ever see it on Facebook. And also, I will share it there!

(8,923 posts)While most of the rest of the world is watching current events, the nonsense on Fox just grinds on. Critical Race Theory is "Marxism", Hunter Biden, The Border, January 6 arrestees are being treated unfairly, or it was Antifa, or the FBI, Biden's taking guns and raising everyone's taxes, etc. lies, lies and more lies. How is it these people even stay on the air, much less use the word "News" in their name? Geez...
