Matt Gaetz: “The Speaker said to us just moments ago that words matter. But apparently those words don't matter when they are uttered…”

“The Speaker said to us just moments ago that words matter. But apparently those words don't matter when they are uttered by Democrats, when the gentlewoman from Massachusetts calls for unrest in the streets, and when the gentlewoman from California brazenly brags that she called for people to get in the faces of those who serve and support the President. I denounce political violence from all ends of the spectrum. But make no mistake: the left in America has incited far more political violence than the right. For months our cities burned, police stations burned, and our businesses were shattered; and they said nothing or they cheer- led for it, they fundraised for it, and they allowed it to happen in the greatest country in the world. Now, some have cited the metaphor that the President lit the flame. They lit actual flames and actual fires. We put them out, and we intend to keep this President.”
