Rep. Matt Gaetz Blasts FBI for Encouraging ‘Snitching’ Reminiscent of ‘Worst Days of the Soviet Union’

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) is up in arms about the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) encouraging families to snitch on their loved ones.

Gaetz recently appeared on Newsmax where he denigrated the heinous and anti-American practices of the FBI.

“Back during the worst days of the Soviet Union, one out of every three of the folks in that country was providing some sort of information to a centralized governing authority,” Gaetz said. “Snitching really is a tool of the repressive security state, and we don’t want that to happen in our country.”
