Matt Gaetz has his primary tomorrow here in Northwest Florida, August 23rd, and it's pretty
safe to say Matt Gaetz is most likely gonna cruise to a fairly easy victory, not just in the primary,
but also in the general election race. But one of his Republican opponents, man by the name
of Mark Lombardo, is not going down without a fight. So not only has Mike Lombardo penned a
scathing editorial against Matt Gaetz in our local newspaper, the Pensacola News Journal,
but Lombardo has also released a new attack ad against Matt Gaetz, attacking him folks
for somehow not being loyal enough to Donald Trump. So take a look at this disturbing new ad.
Again, this is Mark Lombardo running against Matt Gaetz in the Republican primary. Here's the ad.
When Donald Trump really endorses someone, he goes big. You've seen none of that for
lying Matt Gaetz. What does Trump know? Is Gaetz the informant? Gaetz hired Jeffrey
Epstein's attorney. Another Epstein attorney approved the raid on Trump's house. Remember,
Gaetz pressured Trump to give him a pardon, but Trump said, no. Matt Gaetz puts himself first,
ahead of Trump, and ahead of you. Vote for a leader who will put America first. Vote
for Marine Mark Lombardo. I'm Mark Lombardo. I approve this message.
So he's putting forth a conspiracy theory. Maybe Matt Gaetz is the leaker, right? We don't know.
Matt Gaetz has gone against Trump a couple times, which by the way is not untrue. Matt Gaetz did go
against Donald Trump a couple times, got a little punished for it. You know, Donald Trump wouldn't
take his calls for a while. He wasn't allowed to get back on Air Force One. But they smoothed
things over and now Matt Gaetz of course is right back in Donald Trump's pocket to the
point where he actually has Kimberly Guilfoyle doing an event with him right here in this city,
later this afternoon. So yeah, the Trump family is totally cool with Matt Gaetz. The funny thing
of course is not the ad with the conspiracy theory, not just that they're attacking him for
not being loyal enough, but the fact that even in MAGA world, which Matt Gaetz helped launch,
apparently they can still fight one another. Apparently if you ever go against Trump one time,
even if it was several years ago and you've made amends for it,
you're still not MAGA enough. So what is actually happening here, folks is that again,
Matt Gaetz who helped create this MAGA movement is now getting devoured by the monster he created,
right? Dr. Frankenstein is now having to square off with the monster that he made
and he must submit to it. Again, I don't think that any of this is really going to hurt Matt
Gaetz right now, right? I think Matt Gaetz is gonna cruise to an easy victory as he has in the
last couple primaries he's faced. He's had some outspoken Republican challengers in the past and
when he wins, he likes to tweet out these little snarky, you know, comments saying, oh, blah, blah.
Whatever it is, as if he's not running in a deep red district where it's impossible for him to
lose. But again, Lombardo didn't just put out the ad. He also attacked Matt Gaetz in that editorial,
accusing him of hiring one of Epstein's lawyers to fight off the, well, let's just say allegations
against Gaetz, which of course is true. And Lombardo said that his own father had given Matt
Gaetz money, you know, before Lombardo ran. Says that Matt Gaetz has betrayed not just his father,
but all of his donors, all of these elderly folks in this area that gave him tons of money,
by using it to hire a lawyer to fight off all of these allegations against him.
I don't like Lombardo. I think he's just Matt Gaetz in a different rapper. Still a horrible
person. But most of the things he has said are not wrong. Obviously Matt Gaetz being the leaker
is way out of left field and we're not even going to address that or legitimize it, but
he does make some other interesting points. So if those points resonate with the voters
in this area, again, probably too late to have that make an impact before tomorrow, but
down the road, especially once we get the results of this investigation,
those talking points from Lombardo could absolutely come back to haunt Matt Gaetz.
They're laying the framework for the MAGA movement to turn against him is what's happening
should those allegations turn into indictments.
