Rep Matt Gaetz: Transition Integrity Project Is ‘Biggest Story In America’
Congressman Matt Gaetz insisted on War Room: Pandemic that the Transition Integrity Project – a self-described
“bipartisan” group which has called for the execution of former Trump administration officials and a “street fight” to secure a victory for Democratic Presidential candidate Joe Biden – is “the biggest story in America.
This follows a host of exclusive National Pulse reporting on the group revealing their tactics, funding, and propensity for violence.
On the show, co-host and Editor-in-Chief of the National Pulse Raheem Kassam inquired if Congressional Republicans would launch an investigation into the group.
In response, Rep. Gaetz remarked that the Transition Integrity Project is “the biggest story in America” and represents “an area where Democrats are ahead” of Republicans:
“This is the biggest story in America that no one is talking about and frankly it’s an area where the Democrats are ahead of us because they are preparing for the chaos that will ensue when Donald Trump has the win and they’re trying to count these new batches of ballots.”
.@RepMattGaetz: Transition Integrity Project is a real blind spot for the #Trump movement.
We have done nothing to prepare for this legally.
This is the new Russia — the way to try to undermine the election.#WarRoomPandemic @WarRoom2020 #Firebrand pic.twitter.com/jqMUj5OqXH

The author of the recently-released book Firebrand: Dispatches from the Front Lines of the MAGA Revolution continued describing the disparity between Republicans and Democrats preparing for an inevitably contested election:
“They have built a human resources infrastructure to function as a transition government in absentia of any power vested by the people. We have done nothing to prepare for this legally and I think that it’s a real blind spot. Republicans need to wake up. This is foreign influence, but it’s also become a repository for a lot of the Never Trump Republicans to go and do violence to our democracy in a new way.”
Rep. Gaetz notes that the Transition Integrity Project constitutes the “new Russia,” likening the group to a new way to undermine “the validity” of President Trump:
“This is the new Russia. What they’re doing with the Transition Integrity Project now is the way to try to undermine the validity of the president because they can’t beat him in a fair eleciton or a fair debate on the issues.”
