Gaetz says that the "deep state" is working to stop former Vice President Mike Pence from launching a presidential bid.
On Tuesday, it was revealed that documents were reportedly found last week at Pence's home, echoing similar finds at the homes of former President Donald Trump and President Joe Biden, both of which prompted Attorney General Garland to appoint special counsels to investigate.
Gaetz suggested in a tweet a short time later that the supposed deep state would direct Garland to appoint a special counsel to investigate Pence if the former vice president decides to run for president in 2024.
"Whether or not Mike Pence gets a special counsel for classified documents found at his residence is dependent on if he announces that he is running for president," Gaetz tweeted. "The Deep State's mouthpieces all over cable news today are sending a message to Mike Pence: don't run for president."

The deep state's supposed attempt to stop Pence from challenging Trump for the GOP presidential nomination is somewhat at odds with the narrative that the group is working against the former president.
However, Gaetz said during his appearance with Bannon that the deep state was now "against" both Trump and Biden. He suggested that the group was attempting to stop Pence from running for president to allow a more viable challenger to take the Republican nomination from Trump.
"I believe that the deep state is against Trump and I believe that the deep state is against Biden," Gaetz said. "I think that they prefer a different Democrat candidate and prefer a different Republican candidate."
"..Pence is someone who absorbs a healthy share of the Republican primary electorate vote," he continued. "If he's not there, those votes don't go to [former] President Trump. Those votes would go to somebody else."

Common Sense ought to be telling him the same.
Doesn’t matter only RINOs vote for him, else they vote Democrat.
I don’t want him to run for President either.
I guess Gaetz knows, since he works for the deep state.
Ima with the deep state here. Pence is a big fat dummy. Give this clown the hook.
Deep State is right about something.
Guess they are hoping for Lynn Cheney…unless her Pop also has classified docs hidden at Jackson Hole.
I don’t want him to run for President.
But not because of Jan 6.
He led a voter fraud commission for 2 years under Trump and didn’t accomplish anything that I can tell.
He led the Pandemic response and they told us masks were dangerous for the public to use and we should reserve them for first line responders. A clearly inconsistent response and they had to back track on the safety of masks. And the public is still confused as a result.
He does a decent stump speech, but I think he is an adminstrator not a leader.
Pence is a clown and a stooge who should be working the Burger King take out window.
Why would the deep state be opposed to him.
He gave them a pretty good gift in 2021.
Pence had his chance to stand up and be counted but he threw it away to protect THE SWAMP
Deep State wants to take out both Biden and Trump so they can run Mike Obama vs DeSantis.
I think the point Gaetz is making is if Liz runs and the Deep State approves, she will be fine. If not, classified documents will be found at her home.
Looking for a way to bail out so early?
No, please run... and let us show you how we feel about you.
You worthless coward
Pence has DEAD EYES.
Really? Do tell.....spill your beans.
Please don’t offend people that work at a Burger King takeout window.
