Rep. Matt Gaetz and Sons of Anarchy actor Ron Perlman spent their Sundays going at it on Twitter after Gaetz criticized the U.S. Soccer board of directors for voting to repeal a policy that prevented players from kneeling during the national anthem.
Earlier this week the board voted to repeal the policy that was put in place when U.S. women's soccer star Megan Rapinoe joined the super woke ranks of Colin Kaepernick and started taking a knee to protest the national anthem.
Gaetz took to Twitter to express his dismay.
“I’d rather the US not have a soccer team than have a soccer team that won’t stand for the National Anthem. You shouldn’t get to play under our flag as our national team if you won’t stand when it is raised,” Gaetz tweeted.

This tweet received plenty of replies, retweets and likes. One of the responses came from Ron Perlman.
“The US Soccer team called and you guessed it... said they couldn’t give any less of a f--- about what you two dipshits think,” Perlman tweeted, tagging Gaetz and President Trump.

Matt Gaetz countered by pointing out that Perlman played a White Supremacist leader in the show Sons of Anarchy.
This racial justice warrior had no problem in Hollywood portraying the White Supremacist leader of a motorcycle gang. #SOA https://t.co/mKUFz4y5ru

Perlman fired back, "Yessir, so true! So rewarding playing assholes on tv. Tell me sir, how is it actually being one?"

From there Gaetz brought up that he actually enjoys the fact that Hollywood thinks he is an a-hole.
Honestly? The fact that Hollywood thinks I’m an asshole is a badge of honor 🙂
You wouldn’t be tweeting about me if my message weren’t true & effective. Threatens your wokeness.
How triggered will you be when @realDonaldTrump is re-elected? More or less than when crooked lost? https://t.co/E31s3MuWP9

Perlman fired back with the usual left-wing talking point of using a "dog whistle."
And while we’re at it fuckboi, what is this shit about playing your crowd with dog whistles like “Hollywood“, making them think culture is the thing that’s keeping them down? When it’s really you and your greed.

From there Gaetz pointed out that blue checkmarks don't care him any more than the fictional motorcycle gang Perlman played the leader of.
Dude I represent a district of 700k that elected me w about two-thirds of the vote the last 3x I’ve been on a ballot.
Blue check marks don’t scare me anymore than your fictional white supremacy motorcycle gang.
Leave the tough guy comments for those of us who face the voters. https://t.co/4PxEbcUBe3

Perlman then countered with a way off base gerrymandering accusation.
Ya know what, you’re right. A guy who wins a totally gerrymandered district with daddy’s money deserves our deepest admiration. You’re right..I only PLAY scumbags and grifters. You’re the real deal! @mattgaetz
— Ron Perlman (@perlmutations) June 14, 2020
Gaetz then replied by pointing out that gerrymandering is literally impossible thanks to the location of his district.
Gerrymandered district? The western and northern borders of my district are Alabama. The southern boundary is the Gulf of Mexico.
It’s literally impossible to gerrymander.
Try again. https://t.co/9aiUaYcHkT

Something tells me this isn't the last time we see Matt Gaetz and Ron Perlman lock horns.

SJW Justin Timberlake: 'Black Folks Aren't Safe in America'
Pop star Justin Timberlake posted on Instagram on Sunday, ranting about how "black people in America are not safe," after the shooting of Rayshard Brooks by police in Atlanta, Georgia this weekend.
Which is truly a weak argument considering the fact that Brooks was not only intoxicated, but also gave up a massive struggle with the officers, and even stole one of their tasers and began shooting it at them. You can't be that stupid and not expect to be shot at.
