Matt Gaetz Explodes Over Florida Election Woes: ‘They’re Playing Hide the Ball with the Freaking Ballots!’

On Friday night, CNN’s Chris Cuomo battled it out with Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) over allegations of voter fraud in Florida.

Things got heated fast.

At one point, Cuomo scolded Gaetz for claiming fraud when “you don’t know there is.”

“I haven’t said fraud,” Gaetz snapped back.

“The governor has. Senator has. The president has,” Cuomo replied.

Then Cuomo added: “It’s your state. You keep having problems. Make the fixes. You have done nothing. You have the same problems.”

Gaetz then said that it was a fair criticism of the counties but the problem was not all of Florida but a Broward County problem.

Talk then turned to a statewide lawsuit filed by Sen. Bill Nelson over vote-by-mail ballots in the state and reports up and down the coast of voting issues.

“It’s so irresponsible to say there are problems throughout Florida when those problems are isolated to two counties,” Gaetz said.

Then, when Cuomo reminded him that he did not bring the lawsuit but Nelson did.

Gaetz then said Nelson wanted a hand recount and that’s why he was bringing about litigation.

“Oh, so he has the ulterior motive? Your guys are pleading fraud when they have no proof of it. But that’s okay,” Cuomo pushed.

“They’re hiding the proof. They’re playing hide the ball with the freaking ballots!” Gaetz shot back. “So how are we supposed to prove the fraud when they’re not allowing us to go behind and have access.”

Things just got more heated from there.
