Matt Gaetz Accidentally Insults Trump While Bashing a "Dictator"
The Florida Republican�s description of an �illegitimate dictator� sounds
awfully familiar.

MAGA Representative Matt Gaetz accidentally threw some shade at former
President Donald Trump on Monday while trying to weigh in on Venezuela�s
contested presidential election.

Venezuela�s election authority declared Sunday that President Nicol�s
Maduro had won the country�s presidential election, having secured 51
percent of the popular vote, while his U.S.-backed opponent, Edmundo
Gonzalez, earned only 44 percent, according to the Associated Press.

The opposition party has disputed the results, claiming that Gonzalez had
earned a whopping 70 percent of the vote and that they had the data to back
it up. Venezuela�s voting authority delayed the release of the detailed
vote tallies Monday as protests broke out across the country, and foreign
leaders have been reluctant to recognize a winner. Not Gaetz though�he�s
all in.

�Maduro lost the election in Venezuela badly, then simply declared victory
anyway. He is an illegitimate dictator,� Gaetz wrote in a post on X
(formerly Twitter). Did that description not sound the least bit familiar
to the Republican congressman, who has turned into one of Trump�s most
devoted sycophants?

�We stand with the people of Venezuela and their diaspora throughout the
world in calling for an end to his murderous regime. It is sad but true
that a nation can vote its way into socialism, but almost always has to
fight its way out,� Gaetz wrote.

A loyal Trump toady, Gaetz has repeatedly downplayed the January 6
insurrection, pushing the conspiracy theory that the FBI was involved in
the attack. A year after the deadly riot, Gaetz referred to the rioters as
�patriotic Americans � who had no intent of breaking the law and doing
violence.�

�We�re ashamed of nothing,� Gaetz said on Steve Bannon�s War Room podcast
in January 2022. �We�re proud of the work we did on January 6 to make
legitimate arguments about election integrity,� he added.

Republican Senators Rick Scott and Marco Rubio, fellow Trump stooges, also
posted their criticisms of Maduro to X, proving self-awareness is dead.

Trump is not an illegitimate dictator only because his Big Lie failed. Iow, he's an
incompetent, wannabe dictator.

86 Judges have rejected claims of vote fraud in the 2020 election. One Trump appointed
judge noted that "calling an election unfair doesn't make it so. Charges require specific
allegations and then proof. We have neither here."
