Gaetz Blames Dems And “Big Pharma” For Shootings

“The Democratic Party and Big Pharma that are unleashing the crazies on you, and nobody seems to have a solution for it. So here’s one. We need to reopen the asylums. There are severely mentally ill people who do not have a right to wander our streets seeking and selecting who they are going to terrorize, whether there is criminal culpability or not.

“There is a permanent element of society that is dangerous, and it does not make us more just or more compassionate to have them walking amongst the rest of us because then you see the type of loss of life that we’ve seen too frequently from these acts of violence.

“Now, subject to due process, of course in our constitution, we have to put some people away. And that might not be politically correct to say, but it is the truth that we encounter, especially in a world in which we’re getting so many people chemically addicted.” – Rep. Matt Gaetz, speaking on his podcast.
