Rep. Matt Gaetz insinuates GOP Rep. Jason Smith is a closeted gay man

Far-right Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) has insinuated that fellow House Republican Jason Smith (R-MO) is a closeted gay man.

Gaetz made the insinuation on a recent installment of his Firebrand podcast. In it, Gaetz replayed Smith’s comments calling Gaetz a “foolish liar” and adding, “If Matt Gaetz’s lips are moving, it’s only lies that’s coming out of it.”

Smith accused Gaetz of lying about former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) sabotaging the candidacies of several Republican nominees for Speaker. House Republicans nominated three unsuccessful candidates and considered many others for the leadership role after Gaetz and seven other House Republicans voted to eject McCarthy from the speakership in early October. Republicans eventually voted rabidly anti-LGBTQ+ Rep. Mike Johnson (R-LA) into the position.

I can understand Matt Gaetz feels right at home and very comfortable in the Republican Party as a vile and disgusting child sex trafficer and misogynist. But what I will never understand is a gay republican.
- Gay people can also be selfish assholes, who lack empathy and want in on the grift.
  
  I've met one
  
  True. I wonder how they feel about lynching though? Because make no mistake about it that’s where Republicans are headed.
  
  BINGO. See Milo Y and Andrew Sullivan as cases in point.
- I get the feeling they have an authority fetish, can't properly get off unless they're breaking the rules.
Gaetz would probably know, to be honest. It seems congressional Republicans are fond of their Coke-fuelled orgies, at least according to the only member they actually ousted (remember Cawthorn?).
The only real sin Republicans care about enough to do something about is revealing their secrets.
Oh yeah? Did he live with an unrelated, underaged male housemate or some shit?
They're eating each other.
- True, but they are still shitting all over America together
  
  Shitshow Influenced Corrupt Organization
- In more ways than one.
Ah, we lost McCarthy, but that's triggered more (new-age) McCarthyism. Seems about right for them.
Funny coming from him, if certain rumours are to be believed.
- Nestor says "Hi!"
  
  Uk kids fake when he's named after the character from Nintendo power magazine
Smells like projection.
- Its always projection with these guys
According to the Republican Party, being homosexual is worse than being a supporter of rape.
- "Worst thing you can do is get caught with a dead girl or a live boy"
- Here comes the next wave of McCarthyism. What a fine look for the government of the United States of America.
Ah, reminds me of deeply closeted Norm Macdonald.
- I miss both of them so much.
He probably learned that from a very personal encounter with him. Or a common friend.
Takes one to know one I guess
- every accusation is a confession
O NO!!!!
Anyway.
He would know!
So he's saying he has gaydar?...
Gaetz ~~pedoing~~ pedaling lies.
Gates was later quoted as saying "u trying to tell me we shared my cabana boy Nestor and smiths not gay.?..pfft ok".
Inb4 homosexuality wasn't what Gaetz was insinuating.
