Matt Gaetz Says 'Deep State' Is Telling Mike Pence Not to Run for President
Newsweek ^ | ON 1/24/23 | AILA SLISCO

Posted on 01/26/2023 12:10:02 AM PST by conservative98

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."

Maybe he could cash in on some Deep State J6 dividend donations and spend lightly. Losing campaigns seem to be lucrative.

Doesn’t matter only RINOs vote for him, else they vote Democrat.

It does matter. He splits the RINO vote.

I think that's a good think. The Deep State thinks it's a bad thing. And for them it is.

Saw some old photos of Mike back when he was a kid.

Wow. A real eye opener.

It’s anything but Trump at this point. The RNC/GOPe are
terrified of Trump. If he gets in, the gig is up.

They know he’s planning to clean house, and they aren’t
immune.

Pence is an empty suit. Every time he makes a speech, he says nothing; sorta like Kamala Harris.
