During Congressman Gaetz’s time in office, we have been behind the scenes every step of the way. We have staffed his meetings. We have planned his events. We have traveled with him. And we have tracked his schedule. (2/7)
Congressman Gaetz has always been a principled and morally grounded leader. At no time has any one of us experienced or witnessed anything less than the utmost professionalism and respect. No hint of impropriety. No ounce of untruthfulness. (3/7)
For all their accusations about Republicans harming Democracy, House Democrats have jeopardized the legitimacy of every future U.S. election by passing H.R. 1.
It erodes the verification process in voting, literally banning state-enacted photo ID safeguards. (1/4)
House Democrats apparently think voting is less worthy of identity protection than boarding aircraft or buying cigarettes. (2/4)
Election fraud should be investigated, not legitimized through the provisions of this legislation that legalize ballot harvesting and ensure a growing, unmanageable universe of mail ballots. (3/4)
President @realDonaldTrump has done the right thing by vetoing the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).
This bill, which I opposed on the House floor, is a slap in the face to the America First movement. (1/4)
It greatly limits the President’s ability to remove troops from foreign lands, and to draw down endless, unconstitutional wars.
Additionally, it does nothing to reform Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act. (2/4)
Section 230 is a gift to tech companies, placing them above the law; furthermore, our adversaries have begun to use its expansive protections to undermine America’s national security. (3/4)
Democrats quietly acknowledged the outlandish provisions in their omnibus legislation tonight by splitting their original legislation into two separate votes. (1/9)
I voted “yes” on the half of the bill which funds our military and provides a pay raise for the brave men and women who serve America. (2/9)
I voted “no” on the second half of the spending bill, which provides windfalls to corporate special interests, while simultaneously shortchanging American citizens. (3/9)
So I'm tweeting the entire story line by line in a thread below 👇

The blockbuster correspondence — which flies in the face of Joe Biden’s claim that he’s “never spoken to my son about his overseas business dealings” — is contained in a massive trove of data recovered from a laptop computer.
Members of Congress are not released from their constitutional responsibilities during national crises.
It is a dereliction of duty for Congress to be absent from DC, and unable to pass life-saving legislation, during this consequential time in our nation’s history.
While President @realDonaldTrump remains in Washington, working tirelessly to protect the American people, @SpeakerPelosi has receded to her San Francisco mansion.
I agree with @POTUS: Congress should be back in Washington working alongside him to combat this pandemic.
It is unconscionable that health care workers, first responders, and millions of other Americans are fighting back against COVID-19 while Democrats refuse to do their jobs.
