Representative Matt Gaetz (R-FL) hit out at protesters after his and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's (R-GA) California rally was canceled, forcing them to hold a press conference outside.
The controversial Republican duo hit out against the Left and praised an "America First" agenda after multiple venues stopped them from hosting their event in Riverside, on Saturday.
Outside City Hall, Rep. Gaetz and Rep, Greene railed against Democrats as well as Republican members of Congress before the Florida lawmaker turned his sights on protesters.
Speaking to dozens of America First supporters, Rep. Gaetz said in a video streamed by the conservative Right Side Broadcasting Network: "They've tried to cancel us online, they tried to pursue us in real life, they may try to shut down our venues, but we will take this fight to them in the courts, in the halls of Congress and, if necessary, in the streets."

Why aren't these two malcontents in their own districts talking to their constituents? You know like do their fucking job.
Neither one of them is from California.

(38,022 posts)It's all about fundraising and press attention and getting to claim they're being "silenced" and "cancelled".

(15,089 posts)money to high profile GrOPers from other states, because there's not much point in giving it to CA state legislature candidates (semi-permanent minority nowadays, so even if the particular candidate wins they're low profile and impotent), or candidates for CA statewide elections. (Arnold was the last one of any significance, like a decade ago) People like supporting winners and for CA Repukes the cupboard is pretty bare. Who have they got? Devin Nunes? Kevin McCarthy? Talk about uninspiring, even to a MAGAt!
They may have been "canceled" three times by businesses making good business decisions, but there are plenty of rich pricks and rednecks in Orange and Riverside Counties hungry for a grifter to pander to them.

Unfortunately, it plays well to their followers.
