Former Republican House Speaker Kevin McCarthy is endorsing Florida GOP Rep. Matt Gaetz’s primary challenger, former naval pilot Aaron Dimmock. “Gaetz is the Hunter Biden of the Republican Party,” McCarthy said in an interview with Politico. “He’s got an opponent who is pro-life, pro-Second Amendment, trained at Pensacola, went to the Naval Academy, and flew jets to defend us while Gaetz was getting kicked out of high school, buying coke, and paying minors for sex.” McCarthy is alluding to...
Rep. Matt Gaetz Monday claimed no human being has ever accused him of wrongdoing and faced almost immediate mockery on social media. Gaetz was responding to former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy's claim that the Florida Republican had him removed to stymie an House Ethics Committee probe into allegations Gaetz had sex with a 17-year-old girl. "There's not a single human being who has publicly accused me of any wrongdoing of any kind," Gaetz said. "At what point after these things have been said...

Matt Gaetz (R-FL) and others played hooky from Congress to pledge fealty to defendant Donald Trump on a pivotal day in his criminal hush money trial.But a savvy body language expert believes he found the Florida lawmaker's gestures to be hollow compared to the pounding words he used to defend the 45th president's innocence.

Matt Gaetz (R-FL) has hit a snag, reported The Daily Beast: the Department of Justice isn't cooperating."The DOJ is 'stonewalling' the committee and refusing to turn over relevant information about its own sprawling criminal probe into Gaetz, frustrating the pace of the congressional investigation and leading the committee to seriously consider issuing subpoenas to the feds, according to two sources familiar with the matter," reported Reese Gorman and...
Rep. Matt Gaetz’s entire political brand revolves around provocation. But even by his usual standards, the Florida Republican’s post on X on Thursday was genuinely surprising. Gaetz published a photo of himself and other congressional Republicans standing behind Donald Trump at his criminal trial in New York, with the former president blurry in the foreground and Gaetz in focus in the background, staring gamely at the camera.
