Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) responded on Tuesday after #MattGaetzIsATool began trending on Twitter in the United States, saying, “I kinda like it...”

The Trump ally used the hashtag himself and shared an image of a man swinging a sledgehammer with a quote from Miley Cyrus’s song “Wrecking Ball.”

Gaetz's tweet came after Andy Lassner, the executive producer of “The Ellen DeGeneres Show", launched a Twitter campaign against the congressman. As of Tuesday afternoon, the hashtag had tweeted more than 61,000 times.

Actor Zach Braff used the hashtag along with a GIF from his time on the television show “Scrubs.”

'Sticks and stones can break my bones but names will never hurt me'.

Don't be baited by insults.

The best thing Hillary did was label Trump voters 'Deplorables'.

When they embraced it it empowered them.

Ellen only hires people just as nice mas she is. Still waiting for her to show the same respect to President Trump as she did Bush.

If a man should be judged by his enemies, Gaetz should be canonized.

Sometimes tools are a good thing.

I’ma play this here TOOL song for my congress critter Matt Gaetz in honor of his new hashtag.

I think the lyrics of this song are appropriate for this time.

Regardless one of the top 5 house members in the country. We need 430 more of them.

“The knock was a reference to Gaetz and several other House Republicans barging into a classified intelligence room in the U.S. Capitol last week to disrupt the deposition of a top Defense Department official who was set to testify about Trump’s dealings with Ukraine.”

No doubt it’s because of his defense of Trump.

That meeting was for Democrats only and it was about something which should at least have had both parties present.

Seems like an illegal meeting to me but I of course don’t really know the rules.

Neither do they, mate; they change them to fit every day or so.

The quote was from the article. Apparently, poh widdle Dems didn’t like their party being crashed so Gaetz is a tool. Maybe if we were Dems it would make sense?

He’s a fighting conservative/Republican. Even to get a death sentence from the Left.
