for a Florida Congressional hopeful

At a Halloween campaign rally for Congressional candidate and Florida state Rep. Anthony Sabatini, US Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., complained about metal detectors in the House of Representatives and joked about blowing them up with explosives, a remark which made attendees laugh and clap.

Gaetz falsely claimed the metal detectors, which were installed after pro-Trump rioters breached the Capitol on January 6, were implemented because of Boebert, who he said carries a firearm for her personal protection. Boebert was not present at the rally and has not formally endorsed Sabatini, according to his campaign website.

"They got triggered by that. I said, 'Is it tannerite or C4 we want to put in those metal detectors when we blow them up?'" Gaetz said at the rally.

Tannerite is an explosive made from ammonium nitrate and aluminum powder meant for use as binary exploding rifle targets, a type of explosive consisting of two components, neither of which is explosive by itself and have to be combined in order to become explosive, according to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives.

9. If any of us said shit like that...

…somebody in a suit and with a badge would be paying us a visit, and we all know it.

Don’t treat these assholes any differently. Who knows what kind of twisted ideas they’ve now planted in the peabrains of their followers? Enough of the “jokes,” enough of the plausible deniability. They know full damn well what they’re doing.

Do they actually have to overthrow the government before somebody does anything? I’m truly beginning to wonder.
