​Matt Gaetz Just Spoke At A 'Free Britney' Rally In LA—And Nobody Knows What To Think

​Matt Gaetz Just Spoke At A 'Free Britney' Rally In LA—And Nobody Knows What To Think

Florida Republican Representative Matt Gaetz—who is being investigated by the FBI for both human trafficking and sex with a minor—is probably not the first person to come to mind when people think about who would be speaking at a #FreeBritney rally.

But that was exactly what he was doing on Wednesday.


The Florida Republican spoke to a crowd outside a courthouse in Los Angeles during a hearing about Spears' conservatorship.

During his time with the mic, Gaetz told the crowd:

"Britney's been abused by the media, she's been abused by a grifter father, and she has been abused by the American justice system."
"We need to come together and create ... federal change in the law that will free Britney and the millions of Americans who are impacted by a corrupt guardianship system that empowers people to take advantage of the weak."

Gaetz also called Britney's father, Jamie Spears, "a d*ck."

He shared a clip of his speech on Twitter.

Gaetz has continually put his foot in his mouth in very public ways recently, but it seems he may genuinely support Spears and her effort to end her father's role as her conservator.

Earlier this month, Gaetz and 3 other GOP lawmakers invited Spears to testify before Congress about her conservatorship and share her experience.

People online still seemed very skeptical about Gaetz's true motives though.







While it is impossible to know Gaetz's true motive for his support of Britney Spears, one can only hope it will help rather than hurt her.

The last thing Spears needs is another man in a position of power to exploit her for their own gain.

White House Ripped After Making Bonkers Earth Day Claim About Trump And 'Science'

President Donald Trump is a pretty well-known science denier so it's perhaps no surprise that the White House was soundly mocked after sharing a press release for Earth Day on Tuesday claiming that "We Finally Have a President Who Follows Science"—which is quite something given so many federal workers from health and science agencies have been fired in recent weeks.

The White House claimed that Trump is "leveraging environmental policies rooted in reality to promote economic growth while maintaining the standards that have afforded Americans the cleanest air and water in the world for generations."

Vacationers got more than they bargained for when the interior of their plane caved in during a Delta Airlines flight scheduled from Atlanta to Chicago on Monday, April 14th.

The interior malfunction occurred on a Boeing (yes, that Boeing) 717 as passengers had to use their arms to hold a detached white panel up until the flight attendants could temporarily secure the detached ceiling part.

RFK Jr.'s Bizarre Claim About Testosterone And Sperm Count In Teen Boys Leaves Even Jesse Watters Puzzled

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. had even Fox News host Jesse Watters baffled after claiming during an appearance on Watters' program that testosterone levels and sperm count in teen boys are lower than the levels seen in 68-year-old men.

Kennedy—who is 71—made the claim during a conversation about the government’s plans to ban eight common artificial food dyes by year’s end. After outlining his push to combat chronic disease and listing a range of health problems affecting Americans, he shifted focus to male fertility, which made things very, very weird.
