Matt Gaetz: Pelosi Still Secretly Leads Democrats, Jeffries Is ‘Just a Frontman’
Frank BergmanOctober 16, 2023 - 11:48 am3 Comments


Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz has alleged that former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) is still leading the Democrats from the shadows, with Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) serving as “just a frontman.”

During an appearance on Newsmax, Gaetz said Pelosi “still rules with an iron fist.”

Gaetz made the comment while explaining the battle among Republicans for the speakership vote.

The congressman told Newsmax’s “Sunday Agenda” that Republicans have had more public infighting than the Democrats.

His recent motion to vacate led to the historic ouster of former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA).

The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.

More like Matt is servicing Nancy in Paul's absence.

At least the Dems have leadership.  Who's leading the House GOP?

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.
She might be the Colonel of the House Democrats but there is a General Staff behind the scenes somewhere, and behind that, a very small group or even one person calling the general direction the seemingly chaotic herd at the bottom (on the streets and locally) is headed.All of those cogs work to promote the machine, and there are no coincidences, no (or very few) accidents, and defections are rare. Those who serve that will be rewarded, those who defect or defy it are to be destroyed--economically, politically, or even physically.
It is the inherent difference between the top-down (soviet) model of government and the more chaotic workings of a Republic that is on display, here and nothing more.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
