Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) on Thursday ominously invoked Donald Trump’s call to far-right violent extremists while joining the former president at his criminal trial in New York. “Standing back and standing by, Mr. President,” Gaetz wrote on social media, along with a photo of himself positioned behind Trump at his trial.

The phrase is a reference to Trump infamously refusing to condemn heavily armed white supremacists, namely the neo-fascist Proud Boys, during a September 2020 presidential debate. The Proud Boys had been tied to violence that summer in cities including Kenosha, Wisconsin, and Portland, Oregon.

“Proud Boys, stand back and stand by,” was all Trump finally said in the debate, before trying to blame others for violence. "I’ll tell you what, somebody’s got to do something about Antifa and the left because this is not a right-wing problem, this is a left-wing problem,” he said.

Rep. Jason Crow (D-Colo.) called out Gaetz for his Thursday message. “‘Standing back and standing by’ You know exactly what you are doing ― blowing the Proud Boys dog whistle,” Crow wrote on social media. “Trying to be subtle in your call for violence; well we won’t let you. This is unacceptable.”

20. It's in the real book, too

After all, it's crickets from the long-haired guy condemning this sanctioned child-rape after the Israelites destroyed a Midianite town, and came home with captives (ahem...slaves):

And Moses was wroth with the officers of the host, with the captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, which came from the battle. And Moses said unto them, Have ye saved all the women alive? Behold, these caused the children of Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to commit trespass against the Lord in the matter of Peor, and there was a plague among the congregation of the Lord.

Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him. But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.

--Numbers 31:14-18

Brings a whole other meaning to 'suffer the little children to come unto me,' doesn't it?

[hay rick]

18. What a punk, LOL.

[LudwigPastorius]

19. "Standing back and standing by, Mr. President,"

Nah. In regard to Trump, Gaetz is in more of a kneeling position.

[Roy Rolling]

22. Punk

When I was growing up we called toadies like Gaetz “punks”. They’re an embarrassment even to true violent criminals. They suck up to gangs just so they can bully others.

He’s a punk. He thinks he’s gonna call for violence like the former president. But what benefit do gangs have by calling Gaetz one of their own, and backing him up when he asks them to “standby“? Zero.

[Mysterian]

23. Gaetz fantasizes of being a high official in a fascist regime

In which he can engage in his pedophilic proclivities without consequences.

[prodigitalson]

24. is he going to jail like the proud boys?

[Duncanpup]

25. Gaetz is a degenerate like all freedumb caucus maga.

I can’t believe reporters will not ask him you’re being investigated for screwing underage girls they just let him spew shit and give him illusion of normality same as trump.

[kysrsoze]

26. Stand by, and get ready to go to prison. Idiots.
