It is bizarre to see the NFL attacking an America that has treated it so well over the years. Taxpayers pay over 70 percent of the cost of stadiums. Our citizens pay more and more for tickets, and valuations of professional sports franchises have skyrocketed. Player compensation keeps growing.

Kneeling for the anthem does nothing to advance solutions to racial injustice, police brutality, or any other social plight. It is a slap in the face to patriotism itself. It is a statement that America as a country is no longer worth standing for.

I'm a Christian, and I believe the Immaculate Conception was how Jesus was born.

A melting Arctic creates a more permissive environment for Russia and China to seize territory.

If players want to protest, let them do it on their own time and on their own dime.

The most valuable real estate in the world lies between the president's ears.

While the Washington swamp, which loves shipping American jobs offshore to make a buck or Euro, is already rising up against the proposed legislation, the USRTA is just plain common sense.

If we cared about safer streets, we'd build the wall and secure the border.

I don't even think the biggest divide is between Republicans and Democrats. I think it's between institutionalists and reformers.

I wish climate change wasn't real.

Holding Congressional hearings is the purview of the majority, and during the first years of the Obama administration, Democrats could not be bothered.

President Trump says his highest priority is America and the American people. The fact that this idea has been met with shock is itself shocking; if America's success is not the president's goal, what is? Is it looking good in photo-ops, while debt grows, jobs dwindle, bureaucracy reigns supreme, and the American people suffer?

Matt Gaetz

I believe that the Left is trying to create a crisis on the border.

I strongly support the rights of transgender individuals. I will not denigrate or deny their struggles.

Matt Gaetz

I would suggest that a Green Real Deal is something to be far more excited about than the Green New Deal because the Green New Deal will never happen.

Matt Gaetz

I don't know why anyone would want businesses and families and individuals nationwide to suffer. But by voting against tax reform, Democrats showed that was exactly what they stand for: less money for families and more money into Washington, D.C.

Matt Gaetz

History will judge harshly my Republican colleagues who deny the science of climate change. Similarly, those Democrats who would use climate change as a basis to regulate out of existence the American experience will face the harsh reality that their ideas will fail.

Matt Gaetz

Democrats justify anything they do against Trump as being righteous, even if it's morally wrong or even if it's illegal, because they're so driven to stop Trump.

Matt Gaetz

If we got more efficient with electric grid capacity, we would substantially reduce our carbon footprint, and people would be likely to copy us.

Matt Gaetz

Unilaterally disarming the American economy through crushing regulations will empower Washington but few others.

Matt Gaetz

You don't just get to show up in Washington and, because a terrible thing has happened to you, that you get to jump up and scream and yell.
