GOP Florida Representative Matt Gaetz stressed that a demographic shift could help former Republican President Donald Trump regain control of the White House.
During an appearance on the right-wing cable news channel Newsmax,  he suggested that White women who were angry about abortion could easily be replaced by Latino and Black male voters.
Except, he deliberately chose a less eloquent route, declaring:
"For every Karen we lose, there’s a Julio and a Jamaal ready to sign up for the MAGA movement.”

Gaetz explains why Republicans don\xe2\x80\x99t need women voters: \xe2\x80\x9cFor every Karen we lose, there\xe2\x80\x99s a Julio and a Jamaal ready to sign up for the MAGA movement.\xe2\x80\x9d

The female name Karen negatively entered into parlance as a White suburban woman who is entitled, while the names Julio and Jamaal are stereotypical names for Latino and Black men, respectively.

@RonFilipkowski Amazing, both sexist and racist in 11 seconds.

Gaetz is a devoted Trump ally known for a slew of controversies, including allegations of sexual misconduct, sex trafficking, campaign finance violations, and for being aligned with alt-right activist and racist internet troll, Chuck Johnson.
Social media users couldn't believe his remarks. 

@RonFilipkowski Could he be any more blatantly racist? Holy shit.

@RonFilipkowski Gaetz's attempt at justifying a lack of focus on women voters is both flawed and shortsighted. The MAGA movement is a terrorist organization and they need to be labeled as such.

Gaetz's comments followed Trump's victory with a 51% win on Monday night's Iowa Caucuses. 
“There is a relentlessness and a persistence in the Trump campaign that I think really emerges out of the candidate himself," said Gaetz, adding:
"In Iowa, this victory was so huge and really it was a testament to the resiliency of the Trump voter."“Because you had the worst conditions possible, historically, challenging weather and ice and these folks came out and voted overwhelmingly for the president.”Gaetz made the "Julio and Jamaal" comment after referring to the MAGA voters' overwhelming support as a "blue-collar realignment of the Republican Party."
He predicted:
"That bodes well for our ability to be more diverse and to be more durable as we head into not only the rest of the primary contests but also the general election.”Sure, Matt.

Fox News host Emily Compagno was criticized after she praised Donald Trump's use of the "f-bomb" earlier this week before condemning Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett's use of the same word—on the same episode of her show, no less.
Trump made headlines this week after admonishing Israel and Iran for violating a ceasefire agreement he'd announced on Truth Social. Although he claimed the ceasefire had been "agreed upon," Iran fired at least six missile barrages at Israel after it was supposed to take effect.

        State Department Slammed After Requiring Visa Applicants To Make All Social Media Posts Public For Vetting

The State Department is facing harsh criticism after it announced that anyone applying for an F, M, or J nonimmigrant visa will need to disclose all social media profiles from the last five years, requiring that all applicants set their posts to public so they can be properly vetted by its agents.
The agency said the new rules are part of a new screening process aimed at identifying individuals who may pose a threat to U.S. national security. According to the department, failure to comply could result in a denial, and consular officers have been instructed to flag signs of “hostility” toward the U.S.—though the criteria for such determinations remain vague.
