FUTURE OF MAGA: Congressman Matt Gaetz Emerges as ‘Heir to the Trump Movement’
EXCERPT:
After the embarrassing and pitiful flaming out of MAGA traitor Ron DeSantis’ presidential campaign, a new heir to Trump’s throne has emerged: Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida.
Gaetz was not too long ago considered a dead man walking, dogged with frivolous sex scandals that threatened to destroy his career. After weathering the storm, Gaetz has emerged as the leader of the populist America First movement, leading a successful revolt against former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and impressively flexing the muscle of House conservatives with a boldness that lives up to his self-proclaimed “Firebrand” monicker.
Politico has reported that Gaetz is the presumed “heir to the Trump movement” because he is the “right kind of crazy” that is needed to lead the movement beyond Trump’s second term in office.
PHOENIX (3TV/CBS 5) -- The Chairman of the Arizona Republican Party has resigned amid a growing number of calls to step down after a British tabloid released clips of him reportedly trying to “bribe” former gubernatorial candidate and TV news anchor Kari Lake to not run for Senate.
The verified audio recording obtained by the Daily Mail reveals party chair Jeff DeWit asking Lake to “Just say, is there a number at which,” that appears to signify Lake to essentially “name her price.” Lake is heard in the audio tape taking offense to the remark, stating, “I can be bought? That’s what it’s about.” The clip continues with DeWit saying: “You can take a pause for a couple of years. You can go right back to what you’re doing.” To which Lake replies, “This is not about money, it’s about our country.”
DeWit said in a statement announcing his exit that the tape was “selectively edited” and used in a “deceptive” way. He claims that despite the conversation appearing against Lake, she was actually employed by him in DeWit’s private company. DeWit claims since that conversation, that Lake has been on a “mission to destroy” him.
“I said things I regret, but I realize when hearing Lake’s recording that I was set up. I believe she orchestrated this entire situation to have control over the state party,” the statement read in part. The decision to step down on Wednesday was part of an “ultimateum,” DeWit said, adding that the Lake campaign threatened the release of a “more damaging” recording, audio which he says he is unsure of what it continues.
Gaetz can’t be bought.
He doesn’t take money from all the big wigs but raises his money from the grassroots, We the People.
