“Jason Smith says if my lips are moving, I’m lying. Well, you know what? If Jason Smith is breathing, he is living a lie. There might not be another member of Congress who lives a lie every day more than Jason Smith.
“And Jason Smith knows exactly what I’m talking about. And by the way, so does almost every member of the House Republican caucus.
“So, there’s a good deal of projection in Jason Smith calling me a liar when it’s Jason Smith, who literally has to live a lie. And I honestly pity him for that because you know, it wouldn’t be something that– I wouldn’t live that way. I’ll just put it that way.
“So, Jason, I would check yourself before you come at me with any accusations of being dishonest about what I say, when you’re dishonest about how you live and what you do.” – Matt Gaetz, after Smith, the chairman of the powerful House Ways and Means Committee, attacked him for ousting Kevin McCarthy.
Smith is unmarried and has a 0% rating on LGBTQ issues from the Human Rights Campaign and a 100% rating from several hate groups. Smith appeared here last month when he melted down in spectacular fashion when challenged about his accusations against President Biden. As I said at the time, “listen to his voice.”

Matt Gaetz appears to be outing the Republican Chairman of the Ways and Means committee on his podcast.
Guess that was about 24 hours of unity for the House GOP https://t.co/DFDNJhG7ej
