He’s playing Fox New’s game against them. GOP and their media outlets want to make him him the bad guy for canning one of their own.
So he’s getting out ahead of it and saying all this stuff he knows Republican voters will agree so anyone who tries to smear him looks like deep state establishment that are entrenched in Washingtons ways. Not that he probably expects it to pass but it will give him a leg up if or rather when he tries to get Florida Governor in 2026 sincr DeSantis can’t run again due to term limits.
Same dude… I can’t figure out what he stands to gain other than just being contrarian. I never thought I’d say this but I’m actually agreeing with something that representative butthead said. Strange times we live in.
Gaetz is trying to raise his own profile and is only in this for himself. Basically the attention economy. Which he is getting plenty of by ousting the Speaker. Older politicians are facing more scrutiny and passing a term limits law would look good right now. He may be positioning himself to run for Florida governor in '26. Which means most of the stuff in Khanna’s reforms wouldn’t hurt him if he runs for state office.
I’m all for term limits and if by some weird chance Gaetz being his prick self gets it passed, then sure why not. However, I really doubt a bill like that would get passed by a republican controlled house.
This….sounds…reasonable…? I’m with OP - confused
Like, I’m expecting to find out all his accounts have been hacked or Bernie Sanders has a gun to his head or something
