Matt Gaetz (R-FL)&nbsp;told Breitbart News in an exclusive interview that he believes \u201cnothing is more dangerous right now than the weaponization of the Justice Department against people who show up at school board meetings,\u201d as it paves the way for broad targeting.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m on the judiciary committee, I think nothing is more dangerous right now than the weaponization of the Justice Department against people who show up at school board meetings, because that paves the way for such a broad targeting, the likes of which we\u2019ve never seen before,\u201d Gaetz told Breitbart News editor-in-chief Alex Marlow.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>The congressman sat down with Marlow last week at Turning Point USA\u2019s AmericaFest in Phoenix, Arizona, where he talked about what he wants to see House Republicans do when they retake the majority after the 2022 midterm elections.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI believe Republicans are going to re-take the majority, and I want to make sure we\u2019re worthy of it, and that we have a plan and a strategy. So I would convert every committee in the Congress to an oversight committee \u2014 and I think every committee has an investigation they should be running,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd this is a stark contrast to the Paul Ryan vision of a Republican majority with a Democrat president,\u201d Gaetz continued.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<blockquote>\n<p>In the Ryan years, they would pass all these bills, they would get Obama to veto them, and then they would claim that as some sort of moral victory. And then when we got power, and we had Trump in the White House \u2014 they wouldn\u2019t put the same bills on Trump\u2019s desk.<\/p>\n<p>So, I don\u2019t want to go through the performative legislative practice. Joe Biden\u2019s not going to sign any bill of consequence that we\u2019d pass, and the Senate wouldn\u2019t take it up anyway. So why not use the committee process to expose the truth to the American people, and how these terrible choices the Biden administration is making is actually making their lives worse.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cI would have the education committee looking into the Biden Center at UPenn,\u201d the congressman further explained. \u201cI would use our healthcare committees to get the bottom of the Wuhan&nbsp;Institute of Virology and their role in this virus.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to President Joe Biden, Gaetz said, \u201che is obviously a man in decline, and he is overseeing a nation in decline.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd managed American decline is really a greater threat than some precipitous drop off the cliff. It would probably be further along in cycling him out and cycling in Kamala Harris in if she wasn\u2019t such an embarrassment,\u201d the congressman added.<\/p>\n<p>Gaetz concluded by stating that America is \u201cstill a&nbsp;country worth all the fight we have.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s nowhere to go, there\u2019s no distant land somewhere to convert to our purpose if we fail,\u201d he added. \u201cAnd so while we take some slings and arrows, it\u2019ll be worth it when we save this great country.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"entry-content\">\n<p><em>You can follow Alana&nbsp;Mastrangelo on&nbsp;<a class=\"x5l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ARmastrangelo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\">Facebook<\/a>&nbsp;and Twitter at&nbsp;<a class=\"x5l\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ARmastrangelo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\">@ARmastrangelo<\/a>, and on&nbsp;<a class=\"x5l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/alanamastrangelo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\">Instagram<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rep.
