Representative Matt Gaetz (R-FL) told Steve Bannon in a War Room interview that RINOs and GOP elites are already planning “business as usual” after November wins.
The following quote is from his interview on the War Room today, which starts at the 10:15 minute mark of the video. The video is posted below.
Let me take you into the room, to the meetings that Republican lawmakers currently encounter. Recently there was a gathering of top Republican Committee Chairs, ranking members… incoming. And when they did Q & A with the lobbyist and donors that were gathered to support the Republican Party, the questions were things like:
- Are were going to pass the farm bill again?
- Are we going to work with Democrats so we don’t have to go through the pains of any government shutdowns.
- Are we going to get back to regular order, and not punishing people by removing them from committees.
That’s what permanent Washington is telling your representatives right now. They want to go back to those days. What I’m doing is I’m trying to elect candidates like Joe Kent, Karoline Levitt who I know will be fightersEven when I talk to my current Republican colleagues, there are many that not only oppose any impeachment inquiry into Joe Biden, but who even believe that an impeachment inquiry into someone like Mayorkis, who is purposefully turning our border into a turnstile, even that is something they wouldn’t support.
So the War Room posse needs to be leveled with, that there are current members in the Republican majority, who will be in the next Congress, who are arguing very very fervently that they will oppose the use of Impeachment in any context, for any official in the Biden administration. I believe they totally misunderstand the mandate the American people are giving us. The American people see that these folks (Democrats) are destroying this country on purpose. (We want them removed).
The Democrats moved the overton window on impeachment, not Republicans. If we don’t use the same tools. If we don’t engage in impeachment inquiries to get the documents, and testimony, and information we need. Then I believe our voters will feel betrayed. And that could be the biggest win the Democrats could hope for in 2024 when it really matters to integrate our policies.
Gaetz spoke about the potential blowback for Congressional Republicans if they refuse to immediately begin impeachment of Joe Biden and cabinet officials, warning that “our voters will feel betrayed” heading into 2024, “and that’s why it should be investigations first, and policy as a far, far diminished priority.”
Gaetz then explains that RINOs and GOP elites have no plans to restrict funding to bring three-letter agencies, such as the FBI or DHS, back in line.
“If we are not willing to shut down the government to keep our promises to the American people, then we are not a fighting force,” Gaetz said.
“So, yes. From the post office to the Department of Homeland Security, efforts to revitalize the Ministry of Truth, I believe we should not fund elements of the government that are weaponized against our people,” he added.
Matt Gaetz is absolutely right. He understands that the American people want the corrupt Democrats removed or punished or, better yet, both.
