^^ Floyd Austin ran right over the qualifying reasons on which Matt Gaetz prefaced his question. OFFICERS that spoke with Gaetz in the service of their country are the ones who raised the points of interest of which Gaetz brought up. Likely at least some of those officers were his constituents but even if they were not, part of the responsibility of every US Congressmen is to bring the legitimate concerns of the American people before the Congress. Austin is the man who should have answered the question but chose instead, IMHO, to call Gaetz spurious for asking.

Not exactly an example of playing the race card on Austin's part,  but a personal attack on Gaetz nonetheless.
This is the way with the left. Attack your political rivals savagely enough, so that while the false accusations thrown up are still sticking to the wall, anyone on the left under pressure as in this case, can attack the person on which the slander has been perpetrated as a means of defense against things that under normal circumstances are indefensible. Even if nothing is ever proven, your side just keeps coming as in the case of DJT.

Just in hitting a few high profile types, you guys swarmed President Trump, you swarmed Rudy Giuliani, and now you're swarming Matt Gaetz. Same old tactic and there exists to this day against any of these public servants, one provable charge. It's all a load of gossip at best.

TRT your King, Rudy, and your boy Matt deserve everything that's coming their way.

Would you please explain where this "King" nonsense is coming from, Twin Ticks. Do you realize how stupid you sound repeating such BS? Conservatives believe strongly in interpreting and governing in strict compliance with the U.S. Constitution, which is contrary to liberals' desire to circumvent the Constitution through the courts and by adopting unconstitutional laws. You go out of your way to sound like a moron through repetition.

Quooter if you still support the King after jan. 6th then you and the other 2 clowns want a King. It's not the complicated.

You are not that complicated. In fact, you are a simpleton. When the people you support are following the Mao handbook of government toppling, you should not be fretting about a potential monarchy. You actively support the Democrats' cultural purge, which is exactly the path that Stalin, Mao, and Pol Pot. That is a real threat, not an imaginary one.

Quooter so in laymen terms you want a King.
