''Squashed Like a Bug': Gaetz Smacked Down After 'Rage-Tweeting a Slander on America's Entire

Military History’

“I personally find it offensive that we are accusing the United States military, our general officers, our commissioned and noncommissioned officers of being quote ‘woke,’ or something else because we’re studying some theories that are out there,” Milley told Gaetz.

Gaetz, whose district has a huge military presence including one of the largest air bases in the world, did not wait long to strike back, attacking General Milley:

He is such a fucking outrage... there is literally no shame, at all.

One of the astute and accurate responses:



LOL, Many more put downs at the link!

1. Shut up, Matt. You're drunk. nt

2. Not surprising he lives in a State

That is making it illegal to tell you what you don't want to hear. They are trying to "cancel" fact.

3. Let me provide some context to what Gaetz wrote

Omitted words and pronouns allow for more casual speech (think of how often one omits the word "that" ) but omission is unclear without proper context so here is what he was actually saying:

"With (American) generals like this, it's no wonder we (the Confederacy/Third Reich/whatever) have fought considerably more wars than we've won."

Don't fall into the trap of believing that Gaetz considers himself on the same side as the generals.

5. Weaponizing words seems to be the only response Republicans have left for their racism.

"Woke" is a benign term that generally refers to "awareness of issues that concern social and racial justice." Gaetz and the imbeciles he represents are feeling pretty threatened by things like Wokeness and Critical Race Theory, so they've been busy enacting laws to bring back the era of social and racial injustice.

Milley should have pointed out the military has been at the forefront of social change since Truman issued Executive Order 9981 in 1948, abolishing discrimination "on the basis of race, color, religion or national origin" in the United States Armed Forces, re-integrating of the military during the early 1950s and, more recently, changing its policies in areas of gender and sexual identification.

6. Hey, I'm one of the "imbeciles" he represents

But, never voted for him and donated quite a bit for the guy that ran against him.

But, I'm sure you meant, "the imbeciles that voted for him".

10. I stand corrected...

I react the same way when others attack "Floriduh," lumping in the millions of progressives here in my state with the ignorant yahoos who voted for scum like DeSantis, Rubio and Scott. I was represented by Ted Yoho (now the gun-toting Kat Cammack), a guy who made Gaetz seem "woke" in comparison.

19. Uglicans represent ONLY the idiots who vote for them.

Everyone else can die (literally) for all they care.

7. I feel like not enough is being said about the fact that he retweeted a white supremacist.

On the brighter side, this tweet is how I found out that Jack Posobiec blocked me on Twitter. So I have that going for me, which is nice.

8. Maybe he'll lose some military voters over this

what an asshole

[bucolic_frolic]

9. Some tweet or other

said something akin to "the Battle of Matt's Bulge". Not sure if it fits.

[sop]

11. Are they talking about Matt's package or his spare tire?

[bucolic_frolic]

12. i think it referred to proclivities

[Ziggysmom]

13. Remember when little Pedo Matty tried witness intimidation?

[JohnnyRingo]

14. Is this in response to racism, the insurrection, or sexual violence?

Maybe it's all the above, but I don't know what the general was responding to because all those are currently being addressed by the military. What did Gaetz say to set him off?

[AZ8theist]

15. What a fucking COWARD.

He could have confronted the General at the time, but NOOOOOO!!!!

I will be manly man with a tweet.....AFTER!!!!!

Not only is Gaetz a fucking anti-American treasonous scumbag, but he's also a puny little worm shit COWARD.

Holy fucking Koresh I can't wait for this scum to be in prison.

[PortTack]

16. Here's the video clip..thank the gods for men like General Milley. Gutless gaetz!!

17. The wife of LtCol Alexander Vindman got her say. . .

Link to tweet

When did you serve, Congressman? Underage girls aren’t allowed in the barracks, FYI.

[oldsoftie]

18. WHY are they taking so long to arrest this prick???

Any guy off the street & he'd already be under the jail

[Blue Owl]

20. Hey Matt don't you have some underage teenagers you need to go molest?

[TexasBushwhacker]

21. As if the military has NEVER mistreated anyone

based on their race. Has he ever heard of the Tuskegee Airmen?
