Florida Man Rep. Matt Gaetz goes full white fright on Twitter and gets smashed ... again

Florida Man Rep. Matt Gaetz was online today, doing what he does online: saying stupid, frequently racist, shite. Gaetz was responding to the story out of St. Louis, Missouri, of the wealthy white lawyer couple who decided to stand in front of their home and threaten peaceful protesters with guns as those protesters walked—legally—down their street, on Twitter. He tweeted out an image of the couple and wrote:

“In Joe Biden’s America your job is illegal, you are locked in your home, borders don’t exist, MS-13 lives next door and the police aren’t coming when the mob arrives. This is all of us.” Such a strange thing to say, eh? Very quickly, Rep. Gaetz’s Twitter feed was overrun with people wondering how Rep. Matt Gaetz is able to type and breathe at the same time. So, #MattGaetzIsATool began trending, as it seems to do at least once every week these days.

Most people are empathetic by nature, so they wanted to give Gaetz some advice.

That’s good advice. Others wanted to remind Matthew that sadly for the entire planet, we are not in any Democratic official’s “America” at this point in time.

First of all, I too, live in STLMO where this disgusting event happened. The vast, vast, vast majority of protesters have been peaceful here in STLMO, respecting property and lives as we all do, and such actions by these two 'crazy' St. Louis residents is careless and reckless and could have resulted in serious injury or death to people who may have not known what was going on (like these two idiots publicly flourishing their weapons openly)). People have been hauled off to jail for far lesser gun crimes.

These two persons/trolls also knew that protests were occurring all throughout the area and thus, had no reason to flourish their weapons, they were not in harm's way, and if anything, I'd say that they placed the protesters and themselves in harms' way deliberately, and thus, should be charged themselves, for inciting violence, or threatening body harm (the protesters were on a public sidewalk). God, what would have happened if I've did my usual walk of the day by their house (I don't walk in the Lindell/off Forest Park Blvd. area)?

Matt Gaetz's twisted view of America will get his loudmouthed a&& hauled off to jail by the police that I pay for, with my property taxes
because you threatened innocent protesters (some of whom may be my neighbors and friends) with your guns for no reason. You're locked in your home because you chose to lock your home up, not us, quit being so paranoid. Borders do exist, for a reason (you idiot) and instead of MS-13 next door, I have you and these two STLMO idiots living there instead.

How many times did they point those weapons at each other?
