From The Matt Gaetz Show on OAN (One America News), Matt Gaetz exposes the dishonest double standard in American politics meant to shut down the conversation as support for Israel in the United States continues to collapse.
“The Republican Jewish Coalition can say that they took out Thomas Massie but if you say they did, that is anti-Semitic. And if you say Israel caused the Iran War, that’s bigotry—unless it’s uttered by Netanyahu on the campaign trail, then it’s leadership.” – Matt Gaetz.

Gaetz is a political commentator and former Republican Congressman from Florida. He generally identifies as a libertarian populist.

*Full transcript below:
We are trying to have a civil logic-based discussion about what is happening in US foreign policy which is directly impacting our lives here at home. And that can be a challenge when the rules for debate and discourse keep shifting. Democrat Congressman Josh Godheimer not only disagreed with that assessment, he said it was anti-semitic.
Responding to Kent Godheimr said quote “scapegoating Israel isn’t just a tired anti-semitic trope, it’s anti-American.” He went on to say that “saying Iran is Israel’s fault is a bigoted deflection.” Okay, those are the rules. Anyone who says it was Israel that got the United States into the war with Iran is anti-Semitic. Let’s just hope there aren’t any videos of Bibi bragging that he got us into the war.
“To deal with Iran, it took me a long time to bring the United States to its senses. I could do it because I had close to a thousand hours on American television. With the ability to influence the US, with the intimate knowledge of all its leaders, both those who support us and those who don’t support us, the ability to navigate this field through it.” Said Benjamin Netanyahu on a televised program.
But wait, there’s more. In the Wall Street Journal, commentator Matthew Hennessy tells us that Congressman Thomas Massiey’s claims that the Jewish lobby in America defeated him are anti-Semitic. He writes, quote, “Mr. Massie grinned as he pedled the oldest anti-semitic trope in the book. That conniving Jews hold secret power, that they are puppet masters who use their money to buy politicians and bend democracy.”
Okay, just so I understand the rules, anyone who says it was the Jewish lobby who took out Thomas Massie is anti-Semitic. Fine. Let’s just check in on the definitely not anti Semitic stuff happening at the Republic Jewish Coalition. The RJC helped kick Thomas Massiey’s out of Congress. We played the reed lead role in taking out Congressman Thomas Massie in his primary.
Over the past few months, the RJC spent more than $5 million to defeat Thomas Massie. When someone repeatedly undermines support for Israel, traffics and isolationism at a moment of global danger, and refuses to stand with the Jewish state when it matters most, there has to be consequences. And if Thomas Massie needed a real reason to hate the Jews, well, we gave him one in May when we kicked it.
So if you are keeping track at home, the Republican Jewish Coalition can say that they took out Thomas Massie, but if you say they did, that is anti-Semitic. And if you say Israel caused the Iran war, that’s bigotry. Unless it’s uttered by Netanyahu on the campaign trail, then it’s leadership. And there’s another one. Jonathan Greenblat leads the Anti-Defamation League, which Elon Musk has more aptly coined the Defamation League.
He tells us clearly, quote, “Claiming that Zionist Jews control banking, Hollywood, and government isn’t edgy commentary. These are centuries old anti-semitic conspiracy theories.” Okay, I get it. Jonathan Greenwat says, “We cannot go around talking about Jewish control of major levers of power. That is anti-semitic. We are going to assume that good people of Jewish faith can hold powerful positions.”
That’s okay. They’re not claiming to be masters of the universe or something. That might be a tinge bigoted. When you think about it, the masters of the universe are Jews. You know, we we’ve got Alman as we got Zuckerberg, we got Sergey Brin, we got the whole the group across the board, Yan Combmes, you know, head of founded WhatsApp.
It’s us. And we have to figure out a way to win the digital battle. Majority of Gen Z have an unfavorable impression of Israel. And my friends, I think the reason for that is that we’re losing the digital war. Okay? They’re getting their information from Tik Tok and and uh whatever it is. And we’re losing that war. The truth is we need the unbridled spirited intelligent debate around serious policy questions of the day.
Never arising out of hate for an identity or a religion, but based on logic, reason, and the wherewithal to know what you are seeing before your own eyes.
