He was told to go there because someone knew he would be willing to do the dirty work.
Perhaps it was Kevin McCarthy that asked him to go? But that does not even sound in character for someone as low-life as Kevin McCarthy.
Perhaps someone in Florida, Gaetz' home state, asked him as a favor, because Liz Cheney voted to impeach Donald Trump?
It was noteworthy that McCarthy was in Mar-a-Lago today, to meet with the former disgraced President, Donald Trump.

I have a hard time thinking Gaetz will go over well, but... Certainly wasn't a big crowd, even for Cheyenne.

(115,620 posts)He still has more control over the House than the Senate, in my opinion. However, he owned the Legislative Branch when Republicans were in control of both.

We rally against you and will defeat you in a primary.
Don't even think of voting to convict or you will reap the whirlwind.
