Matt Gaetz and Marjorie Taylor Green Launch Initiative to Apologize for US Involvement in World War II

 

"What we did was wrong, and it got a lot of people killed."

(Jennings, FL) There has been a lot of confusion about what Representatives Matt Gaetz (R-FL) and Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) are and are not doing with regard to caucuses and rallies. They did, however, kick off an America First tour in Florida with a resounding and sincere apology for US involvement in World War II, which is not a far cry from the original message of the America First Committee.

"We want to say that Charles Lindbergh was right. America should never have stuck its nose where it didn't belong - places like Europe and the South Pacific," said Greene. "Do you really think that all of our men in uniform wanted to go over there and die? And for what? We ended up destroying a lot of infrastructure in a conflict that wasn't ours to begin with. Not only that, but World War II started up the type of arms race in rocketry that would eventually lead to the space race, which would eventually lead to Solaren's space lasers that - and I don't know anything about that - but could it be at all possible that they started the California wild fires?"

"They've accused me of crimes," said Gaetz, following Greene's lead, "but you know what the real crime is? They are teaching my girlfriend/adult high schoolers/old souls in young bodies that the US cause in World War II was unimpeachable. That's insane. Who are we to say what another country should do within its own, ever expanding borders? That would be like saying that Gerald Ford should have stopped Pol Pot, Bill Clinton should have intervened in Rwanda, or that George W. Bush should have done something about Sudan. We all know that no one wanted those things, and that we were absolutely right in putting America First. Who knows how many Americans might have died if we'd tried to stop other people from killing? Well, we know that only a few hundred thousand fewer Americans died in several years of war in Europe and Asia than died of the COVID-19 pandemic."

The rally's crowd was only partially receptive to being led in the Bellamy Salute.
