A weird Matt Gaetz rap video just backfired in a way nobody was expecting
Florida rapper Kurt Jantz, a.k.a. Forgiato Blow, released a new music video called “Matt Gaetz” on YouTube this week. But what was intended to be a celebration of the anti-LGBTQ congressman quickly backfired in a way nobody could have expected.(For the record: Jantz is a MAGA troll and, in general, we try not to give people like him a platform here on Queerty.
But this story is simply too stupid not to share.)The song glorifies Gaetz, with Jantz crooning, “He’s the Chosen One, yeah.
Dedicated Congressman Matt Gaetz. Show him love.” The accompanying video, which was partially recorded during the Conservative Political Action Conference in Orlando in February, includes b-roll footage of the Florida lawmaker smiling and posing for pictures.Since its release, the video has racked up over 60,000 views and counting.
Gaetz apparently liked it so much that he tweeted about it on Tuesday, writing: “@forgiatoblow47 going to the top of the charts w this!”.@forgiatoblow47 going to the top of the charts w this!https://t.co/v0TIjDeFrc— Matt Gaetz (@mattgaetz) April 12, 2022Now, here’s where it gets really stupid.The video features an unexpected cameo: the wife Joel Greenberg, Gaetz’s former wingman who has been working with federal investigators looking into whether the congressman paid for sex with a high school student back in 2018.Last year, Greenberg pleaded guilty to six federal counts, including sex trafficking of a minor, but agreed to cooperate with the investigation in exchange for having dozens of other counts against him dropped.
