Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz said this week he doesn't think his Democratic colleague Rep. Jamie Raskin can properly do his job in Congress because his son died by suicide.Gaetz made the comments Tuesday during an episode of MTG: Live, which GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene broadcasts to her social media sites. The lawmakers were discussing the work of the House select committee investigating the Capitol riot, which includes Raskin.
"No one would ever want to lose a child, particularly to suicide, and as a human being our hearts go out to him," Gaetz said of Raskin. "I think that he takes that trauma and he associates it now with his work in the Congress in such an interwoven way that he's unable to do the Congressional experience outside of the dungeon of that personal trauma."

If this was a black women caught stealing candy for her kid's Halloween 🎃, she would already be doing time for a 5-10 year sentence.
Fucking Paedo Gaetz, not so much.
He is free as the wind, goes home to park the pronger in its Luckey garage every night.

Jamie may show Gaetz how a real congressman conducts himself and I doubt Gaetz is prepared for the lesson. He is such an incompetent boob...no pun intended...that he has no room to criticize others.
It would be so refreshing if his investigators about his interest in little girls would get their act together.
