"Is that a nerve?" This guy is razor sharp.
Gaetz is a clown, he wants to get indignant and upset, he was ready to deliver that line the moment the representative brought up kids. This is the extremist strategy for argument, try to distract or strawman their way through, and when that doesn't work, flame with righteous indignation and fury. This guy knows the drill, it's the kind of strategy used by racist holdouts in the past, Gaetz is just the new face of it.
Wow i am from the Carribbean. I love this man. He live up to who he is much luv muh brother. Class and dignifyed yeah you go black man!
@@alisandiford5469 if you’re from Jamaica you live under dictatorship
@@Legend-lc9bv If you live in America, so do you. Bless your heart. ^_^
Edit: If you're reading this on or after Jan. 20th 2021, that is not longer the case.
@@guy31978 pretty sure ain’t no one getting arrested for not wearing a mask in the states pretty sure there is no forced curfew pretty sure people aren’t dying by the 1000s a year and the only thing the government and the people worrying about is COVID when crime is the main killing factor , oh wait crime is everywhere right? So what about being a small island and the homicide rate passes Israel somilia and Mexico?
Nothing more threatening then an Educated Black Male who speaks from truth.
Only threatening to bigots, welcomed in any other circle.
Only threat I saw was a good time. I would like to see more of this, please!
Too Too educated and no street knowledge. Trust me I know I am from his district
Now the the truth. That's why it was against the law to educate Black american in the 1800, and some 1900. A mind is a terrible thing to waste.
Scares the he'll out of bigots cause there goes one of their arguments for being top dog.
i am tired of white people counter arguing minority problems with 'i have a *minority* family member too!!' as if they're trying to say i know how you feel but actually doesnt
"my great great great great great great grandpa was a minority therefore i am a minority too"
Having a minority family member doesn't mean you'll know what it's like to be a target, to be hated, to be treated like filth nah meanwhile these people will try to gaslight you when you speak about these things smh
izar88 I don't believe Gaets does have black children otherwise he wouldn't get so angry
I've started to counter the 'I have minority children' with, "so did slaveowners." It didn't mean anything for progress then, it doesn't mean anything now.
It's like policies out in place to keep women down. We ALL have mothers some had sisters and daughters and yet, in the workplace blatant sexism sometimes exists. "But I have female family members" doesn't mean anything.
I don’t know this man, but I love him. And I love to see people like him in Congress.
He’ll be working under President Biden (!!) in the office of public engagement. He’s a voice of reason for sure. Can’t wait to have rational folks in the White House again!
@@pizzle58 he's received more fossil fuel, chemical, and oil money than any other democrat and he's been appointed to be the head of the EPA... His district has 50% more cancer compared to the national average. We need to do better than this.
@@dxcSOUL Cedric Richmond has not been appointed to the EPA, Michael Regan has, as far as I know. Unless something changed recently.
@@dxcSOUL nothing you've stated is fact. Of course it's always easier for "you people" to deflect. Once again, the topic is inequality and racial bias. As difficult as it may be for "you people" to concentrate, try to stay on topic.
They rarely let Black men like this into congress even though there are PLENTY of us in the country
Matt Gaetz is such a performative clown
I often wonder if these republicans even believe any of the countless lies that they spew, or if all of it is a big, collective wink to their voter bases to say "you like racism, so here you go - now vote for us".
It's the alcohol and cocain.
@@Durgenheim - I'm inclined to believe it's the latter.
His name is Matt “My Daddy gets me out of trouble” Gaetz.
He really just wanted to miss the point of all of Cedric's words and get mad for no reason
Cedric does not hold back!! Will be ideal for government!!🤔
Yup the people that speak the truth are the ones they fear
President!
“The climax of foolishness”👏🏾
For Biden’s Government/Administration
He is now part of the Biden Administration.
I respect him for not holding back and explaining everything so all could understand. He could've lost his cool and had a right to be angry...but he didn't get distracted and stayed focused.
No he could not lose his cool. The minute he did it would be disregarded as a "angry black male" and everything he said would be ignored.
@@gabsterforever13 Exactly! Seems like he's been around long enough to know the games some of them play.
@@gabsterforever13 Yep, meanwhile Matt Gaetz can lose his cool and he's "passionate".
@@madscout96 Well, read the comments. The other things he's labeled make his "passion" quite the shortcoming. smh
“If the shoe fits.” 😂🤣
“Did I hit a nerve?”
“If the shoe fits...”
“A hit dog will holler.”
If a Black person says that to you, know that they’re not backing down and they mean every word they said💀
Spare me
Big facts
Let this Fools Know!
@@REMNANTRising2005 Salty? Can't stand the pain, oops, rain? Demographics are working against you there, Karen. Whites in America never learn until it is too late. 402 years of keeping a foot on the necks of black people and you don't ever expect to pay for that? Really? Even Rome fell.
@@REMNANTRising2005 Get lost lady
"Richmond out".
Smooth asf
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Heck yeah!
Stand up, man up and woman up!
Stand up and crush this lawless and cowardly insurrection. 🇺🇸
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
So he is resigning Congress to step up in the Biden Cabinet, I’m here for it Ced 💎✊🏽
This guy knows his history better than most of the republicans available.
Was that a nerve. I love it.
Frfr! I was hollering!!!!🤣🤣🤣
then the stupid guy answered “yes” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Kick dog will holler 🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂 yes!!
Yep! 'And a kicked dog hollers'. He went Ancestors' on matt.g
Is Gaetz slow or something ? Everyone knows what Richmond is talking about. Dude trying to sidetrack bit time.
Gaetz is obviously not the brightest light on the street. Poor sod.
Gaetz is the swamp. Look up how his DUI got swept under the rug.
@@Frostbite08 "Daddy said it's my time now to play in the House of Representatives."
He understands just fine. He's just a scumbag.
GOP.
Richmond, talked about race in a constructive way (not pulling the “race card”). Gaetz uses race to distract from the issue being debated (pulling the “race card”). The irony
When you tell the truth you don't need to pull any cards.
This comment is a clear indication that the "race card" is not a real thing, but rather a concept that (usually) white people tend to say when they are uncomfortable with acknowledging their potential racist words and actions.
But I will ask this. If the congressman from LA saying that there is a national crisis plauging Black Americans and that the white men on the other side don't know what it's like to be a Black man and that those same white men act on their internal biases isn't considered the "race card"....then what is?
I think people need to figure out what they want to qualify as "the race card" because as someone who doesn't believe the race card is a thing anyway, it doesn't make sense to me how they decide what is and isn't the race card.
@@theonlygaymer4740 watch the video again. It shouldn’t be hard to discern between the differences in how they are talking about race and how that factors into “the race card”. Just rewatch lol
I've watched it several times. I don't understand the idea of "the race card" and no one has been willing to explain it to me.
@@theonlygaymer4740 read my op then rewatch, then read my op again.
“Did that hit a nerve?” Done with poise and calm, it’s like plunging that dagger slowly and watching some degenerate squirm.
Well said!
“Is that a nerve” was also a bad argument.. it comes across presuming it’s his white privilege rearing it’s head. It wasn’t. He said “CLEARLY I love your kids more than you do.” That’ll set a lot of people off.
He said it well! It’s one of the weakest points he made but it’s a bar/dagger
@@AustinNovel he means if his children are Black bc that’s the issue!!!
@@AustinNovel
He said he was more concerned for them.
In other words if you're not concerned at all about the black community then clearly I am more concerned than you.
He didn't say he loved the child more.
God bless Rep. Cedric Richmond! He'll do well with Biden!!
Matt Gaetz is such a terrible person....just terrible.
WELL DONE Rep, Richmond. I CELEBRATE YOUR INTEGRITY! and HONESTY.
Rare thing these days, integrity, Gaetz could learn something from Cedric Richmond, like Honesty
I second that.
Absolutely a beautiful eloquent speaker who can clearly speak his mind without boring us to sleep...
And without yelling even though he probably has waaaaay more reasons to be angry than Geatz
man got some strong throat chakra fr
Oh because politics must be entertaining for us to care about them 🤦
@@cassandro9445 no, it doesn’t. First off, we’ve seen what can happen when people vote for someone in an attempt to make politics “less boring.” (see Trump)
Second, it doesn’t need to be “exciting.” It just needs to NOT put me to sleep. That’s more than enough, and it was accomplished handily by the gentleman making his case in the video against Matt “I know a black person so you can never judge me” Gaetz.
Man is a dirt bag
He wrapped up the whole situation in 30 seconds!
"I have been singing this song since 1991." So good. Powerful.
He wrote that song a long time ago. A real long time ago.
Like NWA
@@cartoonraccoon2078 Way before slim shady was in demand
Cedric is a magnificent singer.He got the audience to dance on his tune.Made me proud💙
"my friends on the other side, by the time im finished, you will be clear that we are not good friends!!!!!" priceless lol
👋👏👋
"We are coworkers not friends. Don't mistake the two."
Definitely priceless
Period ✊🏾
.*good friends at that.
"Is that a nerve" is the equivalent to, "Oh you mad" 💀
Lol !! Yep !!!
Right! Why u mad??
Right!!
Cedric Richmond CONGRATULATIONS ❤️ COUNTRY FIRST 🇱🇷🇨🇦 CANADA LOVES YOU the world is watching and history will reveal Matt Gaetz .
MATT GAETZ REVEALS HIMSELF DAILY. AND IT AINT GOOD.
@@sydnidowney3598 😩😂😂😂 facts!!
If only all of our reps cared, thought, and talked like Cedric ! We’d be saved.
Amen preach
Yes
It would surely make for a more useful debate :)
I remember another democrat who talked like Cedric. His name is Weiner. LOL
That republican was starting his bull and the black man wasn’t having it. excellence.
I wish there were 100+ more in Congress with Cedric Richmond's principles, smarts, and fearless truth-telling!!
I enjoyed that speech. Richmond was telling the truth.
He is awesome! Love how he represents us! Power to him.
Bs!!
@@ankreviewsreviews3385 - do enlighten us. When did Rep. Richmond lie?
@@ankreviewsreviews3385 cause you're Black right and clearly have authority to speak authentically from experience you Gaetz flamer?
Thank God
He is speaking the truth.
My Brother the King
Salute
I’ve never seen a snowflake melt as fast as Matt Gaetz! LOL, you can’t make this stuff up...
trumpflake
The mock outrage is so laughable!
Don't forget about his fake son that he didn't adopt and doesn't live with him
@@bud_kleric2771 I’m sorry HE DID WHAT-
Triggered. Just was looking for an issue, a word, a punctuation mark, ANYthing to get puffed up and indignant about.
"That is the climax of foolishness."
How aptly stated.
"Richmond out"
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What a gd baller. Thank you for speaking some truth in those chambers. Thank you for providing perspective on the experience of Black American citizens that every one of your colleagues is sworn to protect, even though many of them return your truth, perspective, and passion with ugly vitriol. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Pinpoint accuracy. Far too many distractions, and an unwillingness to confront the truth at hand.
Yes my friend, you are 100% correct; pinpoint accuracy. An educated and erudite speaker, who speaks the truth. And to some, the truth hurts.
My all time favorite Cedric Richmond moment is the Matt geotz one. “let the kicked dog holler”
How have I missed this?
This gentleman is awesome and it's very much a bonus that he is addressing that pos goetz.
I'm crying! Lmao!
Surely it hit a nerve, and justly intended to, I presume! Raw facts!
@@aniuskajani6273 It's one thing when it's their own kids but we know they don't care about others' or their coleague's except before birth.
@@christopherbennett5858 His mere outburst shows his insecurity on the issue. He's caught between a rock and a hard place and as is natural to humanity desperation illicits a response, only thing is that he choses foolishly make it personal, which it isn't;
“Richmond out...” that was kinda badass
Almost as good as obamas mic drop
Priceless
“I RECLAIM MY TIME.”
Bless Mr. Richmond
Was that a nerve
Satisfying
More like a whole spinal cord😄
This is someone we need in government keep up the fight we are with you all the way.
He will make a great advisor to president Biden.
Matt Gaetz: How dare you tell me I dont know what it's like to be black
Everybody else: ok? Can someone say fake injustice? Lol
*indignation
Geatz: my black ex-brother-almost-in-law....yeh definitely "son" now
Matt Gaetz's disappearing DUI should be front and center.
He then showed up with a black adopted son.
Someone get Matty a 🍼. The baby is hungry.
Very well said Cedric!
Cedric Richmond is a great man and speaker!
Richmond: "People are losing their lives. I don't mind talking about other issues later, but those are just distracting from the issue at hand."
Gaetz: "yOu DOnt KnOw WhAT raCE mY kIdS aRE."
Was that a nerve? LMAO GOLD
Gaetz has kids? Oh...is he talking about the teenager he has living with him?
Was one of the reddest herrings I've ever seen! xD
Cedric: "Black people have it bad in this country and let's try to come together to fix that."
Gaetz: "iS tHiS lIkE a PeRsOnAl AtTaCk On My FaThErHoOd???"
@@gsimon123
Cedric: "I'm trying to help your kids and you're refusing to help them, so I must care about them more than you."
Gaetz: "hOw DaRE yOu pOiNt THaT oUt!"
What a beautiful thing to say. I celebrate his candor and integrity!
Susan Collins be like:
Well maybe this is second impeachment. Now Im sure he learned his lesson.
That would require the ability to learn, learning is not his strong suit
"Do me once, shame on you, do me twice ...!
Unfortunately for the country, the lesson Trump learned was that he could do whatever he wanted with impunity.
At some point, nevermind if Trump's learned his lesson. Have we all learned our lesson?
@@FireRupee He is only there to for people to learn lessons. And people still are unable to see that.
When genuine empathy faces entitled whites and special interests.
Geez, smh, matt has definitely sat somewhere and said “If black people can say it in rap songs, why can’t i?”.
He hit his nerve
lmao did I hit a nerve!
Lol, does that pos Gaetz actually expect anyone to think for one second he would have anything but brats carved out of cream cheese!? 😂
@@nicolepsy Nicole, Matt Gaetz has a 19 year old son whom he adopted 7 years ago. His name is Nestor and he's Cuban. Gaetz has kept the family facts fairly well concealed until his outburst, even from organizations doing biographical reporting. For 2 terms now, his staff have reported him as single with no children. I think Matt made Cedric's point for him ... Why wouldn't he acknowledge him as his son publicly for 7 years? I think even less of him now, not because he has a Cuban son, but because he was willing to hide him.
This guys got schooled.
Brilliant!
Honestly, when that guy speak, I know hes speaking the cold hard truth.
Truth hurts them lmao.
They really do love Trump's lies.
@beat thebans what did he lie about? do u know whats its like to be an african american? neither of us ever will
Nah. It went right over his head. There's NO hope for Gaetz. He's what's known as "a lost cause".
@beat thebans Foh clown
That Gaetz guy was trying to bait Richmond. Pity he failed
"was that a nerve" I've watched it over and over and over again with satisfaction, specially cause it was towards Douchey Gaetz!
Matt Gaetz really took that argument a different direction
That’s what Republicans do. They divert the focus so that stuff doesn’t get done.
He definitely tried, but having kept his adopted Cuban son rather hidden for 2 terms, I'd say he made Richmond's point for him.
Oh wow, so he's not even black?
Is he calling his own kid black cuz he has dark skin? So much for "parental affection" if you can't even tell the difference.
A minority, yeah, but not black.
Add plus 1 to his clown card.
He tried 🤭.
Bless his ignorant heart. 💙
Matt Gaetz likes the sound of his own voice. What a tool.
Who in their right mind could watch his antics and think to themselves, "Now there's a man of substance. I'd vote for him." It's amazing that he could be elected!
PREACH!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Richmond out!" = House 🎤 drop 🙌
I wish it was a billion more straight forward men like Cedric🤩💖 he is a superstar!
Good speech and good job Cedric Richmond Btw
Thank you Rep. Cedric Richmond for the light you shone on what has too long been kept in the shadows.
"Kicked dogs holler." Oh, snap....
Cedric Richmond has presidential qualities. I hope he makes a run for Commander in Chief one day.
RICHMOND TOLD THEM LIKE IT IS... Richmond out!!
Matt Gaetz preoccupied for his hypothetical black kids but trying to stop the bill! hahahaha God the Repubicans sure provide some laughs.
Hypatia. That’s what clowns do. 😉👌👍
Riiight!!! So well put @Hypatia
May god bless this man he call the traitors what they are
I don’t particularly like Biden but his administration I do and am so glad we have a diverse cabinet coming in. Tired of white males who don’t identify with the population.
Your analítical skills are what we need in this country. I'm grateful for your existence. I'm a Democrat, yet if tomorrow a republican leader emerges with an agenda that benefits this country, I will vote for him/her. That is to put the country above party and personal agendas or dislikes.
MATT GAETZ is barking again
Nah! He got kicked! Lol. He's hollering!
He just needs a Scooby Snack.
@@MegaToonzNetwork Skimmed too fast and misread that as "Scooby Smack"
@@savvivixen8490 Scooby does smack tho!
Like the old saying goes "hit dogs holler the loudest"
Hes opening peoples eyes of whats literally the outcome, and I pray to see the changes for 2021.
Richmond's like..."I said what I said."
@Tee Art, you left off;
"And meant what I said"
Wow, this black legislator has a way with words, and smart.
Cedric Richmond. Bravo!!! ❤️🙏🏼
GOD BLESS YOU CEDRIC
CEDRIC RICHMOND
IS THE GREAT LEADERSHIP THAT WE NEED MOVING FORWARD 💪🏾
"Richmond out!" Classic.
Did I hit a Nerve lmao 😂 💩 he got pooped on hahahah
They cut his volume on law enforcement bc he speaks Truth ☝🏽
“If the shoe fits”, “Kicked dogs holler”, “Is that a nerve?” ....cool, calm, and collectively drove his point home without getting angry or throwing a fit, unlike Gaetz 😂
That snowflake has a melt down quickly. Out of all Mr. Cedric said he only heard what he wanted to. Not the entire discussion.
They had to hurry up to give him still time to pardon himself.
Get that Matt Gaetz out. He is useless. Ha, daddy had to help him when he got his DUI.
Bellinda Camarillo Make that PLURAL.
Wow, someone didn't like that. Lol! REP. Cedrick GREAT work.
“Kicked dogs howler.”😆🙌🏽
“...climax of foolishness.”
Rep. Cedric RIchmond is going off and I LOVE IT!
God bless you. You speak the truth so eloquently.
look at that--a congressperson that wants to actually legislate in a timely manor. It's a miracle.
Preach it brother!!!!!
You go Cedric!!! He cares about every single individual in the community. He even cares for Matt kids if they are or not black or mixed. He shows compassion while Matt feeling like he's getting attacked 🤣
He doesn’t even have kids so he really wasted a huge point right there.
What a great speech. Well done Sir !
The same excuse: “i know colored people”
Exactly Salute 🙏🏽👑💯☝🏾💪🏾 Preach
My ex-husband used to have a phrase he trotted out every time he got caught out and called out over his behaviour. He would say "It's all water under a bridge now". And to this day he still does not understand that if you want the past to be water under a bridge, you have to help to build the bridge first. Until the behaviour is held to account and the damage dealt with, there is no going forward and everyone involved is locked into a place from which healing cannot happen because the cause of the problem has not been resolved.
Richmond is real ❤ it! "Was it a nerve?" Hahaha
Thank you, Cedric Richmond for speaking up! Bless you!
It’s sad when someone can only hear what they want to hear and yes it struck a nerve. This truth was what is was and unless you walk in my shoes you can’t know my trails and tribulations. This was powerful
Matt Gaetz's FALSE indignation is simply laughable.
You dont know what its like to be homeless.
Gaetz: " I ONCE WENT CAMPING WHO DO YOUTHINKYOUARE!"
Kicked dog hollers, nice one Cedric, say it as it is. 👍
It's sad Rep. Cedric has to break it down plain as day.
I like this man, I would vote for him for president. May he have a long and prosperous career.
Well said Cedric!
Truth spoken!
AMEN, Mr. Richmond!
