Born-again Christian and vindicated political mastermind Roger Stone is calling for Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) to run for president in 2024 if former president Donald Trump does decide to run once more for higher office.
“As far as whether the president is going to run again, he seems to be teasing that he may, if he does he can count on me,” Stone explained to interviewer Steve Malzberg during an interview on Russia Today. “I will be there. But if he does not, four years is a very long time, even in American politics.”
“If he elects not to run, well, then, those of us who support his agenda, the America First agenda, we need to have a back-up candidate,” he added. “We need to have someone who can win a general election on the same platform that Donald Trump won on.”
Stone believes that the right man for the job in that case would be Gaetz, who Stone describes as a “scrapper” and a “brawler.”

Big League Politics has reported extensively on Gaetz’s emergence as a political maverick, being one of the few pro-Trump voices with the courage to oppose the former president if he felt Trump was straying from his “America First” mandate:
“Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) is getting criticized for his support of a war powers resolution meant to stop President Trump from attacking Iran without a formal declaration of war from Congress.
Gaetz has caught the ire of pro-Trump partisans, including Fox Business host Lou Dobbs, for joining Democrats to support the measure that was passed by Congress yesterday. He was one of only three Republicans to vote in favor of the resolution.
“Matt Gaetz, a Republican who the president has spoken out in support of, Gaetz himself has been supportive of the president, and then today, to go along in a symbolic B.S. resolution vote against the president?” Dobbs said on the Thursday edition of Lou Dobbs Tonight.
“It’s mind-boggling to me, and certainly it’s gonna damage his credibility among conservative allies and people that have supported him, including us,” said veteran Republican consultant Ed Rollins in response to Dobbs.
Gaetz is defending himself, explaining how there needs to be push-back from Congress against endless wars, and that President Trump ran as the anti-war candidate to get into the Oval Office…
Gaetz has emerged as one of the leading advocates of an “America First” foreign policy that stays out of globalist affairs and focuses on solving problems domestically.”
Gaetz may be a worthy successor to President Trump who can build upon his legacy and keep America great for decades to come.
I’m sorry, but IMHO, Roger Stone is a flake.
I like him but don’t think he could win.
well loved, but DeSantis is my guy.
Can’t see it happening.
Roger Stone also liked Bill Clinton and Bob Dole.
Seems like a good guy but I’m not sure how bright he is. I think we need someone better for 2024.
Good man. But DeSantis and Noem would have a better chance.
It’s all rather irrelevant who runs on the Republican side if fraudulent election machinery remains in place. Your vote does not count.
Matt Gaetz is an up and comer but maybe a little too soon next cycle.
DeSantis this next time.
And Al Sharpton.
Like Gaetz, but strikes me as the type who might send out a mean tweet, and American women wouldn’t like that. No, siree!
I agree.
This is idiotic. Gaetz is a House flamethrower, not a proven leader like DeSantis.
Maybe Gaetz could replace DeSantis as Governor when DeSantis/Noem get elected.
Mine too, but I don’t think he’s ready to run for President. Another Floridian, Governor Desantis, however, would be my choice if Trump sits out the next election.
Wake me when the shuttle lands.
FORGOD’S SAKE STOP IT!!!
TRUMP NEEDS TO RUN AGAIN
I like Gaetz, but in my opinion he needs some seasoning before running on the big ticket. It would be nice to see him replace Rubio or Scott.
I’m with you on that. Stone was done dirty and I support him there. But he’s not anyone we should listen to very hard. Very checkered past including work for that NXIVM sex cult. He’s a weird dude.
