Tuesday, during an appearance on Fox News Channel’s “Jesse Watters Primetime,” Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) touted an effort he and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) had partnered on to combat insider trading within Congress.

“AOC is wrong a lot,” he said. “She’d probably say the same thing about me. But she’s not corrupt. And I will work with anyone and every one to ensure that Congress is not so compromised.

People, even Congress critters tend to tack all over the place sometimes.
Sounds like these two could be a pair.
Hey Matt, let’s make no excuses for commies.
By the way matt, aren’t you the leader of the group that was gonna make sure that McCarthy released the j6 footage?
Her financial disclosures don’t show that high a net worth at all. Not even close.
Gee.. maybe it's a move by him to try and get in her pants!
Also, "public servants" pay increases should be via voters choosing them. And no pay during gov. shutdownsis to be take literally.
Neither does Lunchbox Joe’s. Not anywhere near his true net worth. Gotta look at the rest of his family for that.
Let’s face it, Gaetz is an unofficial member of the squad, and he’s probably the most effective one.
