Rep. Matt Gaetz’s primary in Florida on Tuesday presents the last opportunity for former Speaker Kevin McCarthy to exact revenge on the Republicans who ousted him last year.
Gaetz, however, is the heavy favorite as he faces Navy veteran Aaron Dimmock in Tuesday’s primary, when voters head to the polls in Florida, Wyoming and Alaska.
McCarthy, R-Calif., has backed Dimmock, and Florida Patriots PAC, a group tied to McCarthy's allies, has spent $3.5 million on ads against Gaetz, according to the ad-tracking firm AdImpact. The group has run ads referring to an ongoing Ethics Committee investigation into Gaetz over alleged drug use and sexual misconduct. Gaetz has criticized the investigation as “frivolous.”
But Florida Patriots PAC stopped spending in the race three weeks ago, a sign that Gaetz is in an advantageous position.

Gaetz may have said "she not 17 anymore" as he used fingers on both hands to do the math.

WASHINGTON — Elected officials are quickly responding to Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) after he spread rumors that there are five "assassination teams" working throughout the United States with the aim of taking out former President Donald Trump.
Gaetz claimed in a press release Monday that he has a "whistleblower" who is a senior Homeland Security Department official sounding the alarm about the "teams" that aim to take out Trump. Three of the five are from foreign governments, Gaetz told controversial former Associated Press reporter John Solomon.
“… this individual was coming to me, concerned that the force protection around President Trump, even prior to that second assassination attempt, was not sufficient for what it needed to be, and the coordination at that level, at the dignitary protection level is like the bare minimum that we have to do to keep our presidents, our presidential candidates, safe while they’re on the trail,” the Florida congressman said.
But Gaetz's colleagues don't buy it.
Speaking to Raw Story on Wednesday while walking through the House tunnel, Rep. Anna Eshoo (D-CA) said, "It's just garbage."

Yeah - BS - IFF there would be some truth to the claim then the wihistleblower would be releasing government confidential or more likely secret information. If he "knows it", then the relevant agencies also know it and more. He would be sabotaging the works of FBI and Secret Sercice. Matt Gaetz likely would have heard of some real truth from work in commissions and kept quiet about it.
