Who is this guy and what did he do with the real Matt Gaetz

[PatSeg]

What on earth is going on? He's talking about working with Democrats to pass legislation that most Democrats would agree with. Is he vying for the Speakership?

"If someone is a member of Congress, they should be prohibited from lobbying for life."

"You are either in the law-making game or you're in the influence peddling game."

"I'll also introduce an amendment to have a ban on members of congress trading individual stocks."

There is more in the video.

I feel like I am in Bizarro World!

[Bettie]

1. FUCK...I agree

with that weird, big headed man.

[PatSeg]

7. Really unnerving isn't it?

[halfulglas]

2. He must have his fingers crossed behind his back.

Or maybe they've replaced the real one with a body double.

[PatSeg]

8. Must be a body double

I can't imagine what happened to cause such a dramatic change so quickly, though I'm sure he probably wants to speaker some day. He is even distancing himself from his good buddy Margie. Maybe he got a real political adviser?

[Aviation91]

3. Me too!

[Meadowoak]

4. never trust a snake.

[PatSeg]

9. Oh, I wouldn't ever trust the guy,

but if he works with Democrats to get legislation passed, I'm not going to complain. Maybe he knows something that we don't.

12. +1,

[GoCubsGo]

5. All the lobbly shops must be rejecting him.

Either that, or he's trying to deflect from his own insider trading.

[RockRaven]

6. Maybe trying to reduce the competition for his House seat. The money is better in lobbying,

isn't it? Those rules would make being a member of Congress less desirable for these greedy fucks.

[Mr.Bill]

10. This is what is commonly known

as lying you ass off.

[PortTack]

11. He probably thinks he can get Dems to sign on to cutting the social safety net

[uponit7771]

13. What what they do not what they say even when they're on your side of the aisle

[FlyingPiggy]

14. This is their new schtick: to APPEAR more moderate.

But then act like extreme jackasses once in the door. They’re coverup up their crazy now. The hood goes back into the closet….but not the trash bin. 👀. So keep in mind that it is still there in their closets.

[PatSeg]

15. Yeah

It would be pretty hard to trust Gaetz after all the stunts he's pulled in the past few years. Meanwhile, if he helps to pass some decent legislation, I'll give him credit for that, but I'll never completely trust him.

[FlyingPiggy]

16. Same. I have zero faith in basic human decency w geitz.

So I’ll believe it when I see it. But I could not trust him either.

[PatSeg]

17. Yes, I'll always keep one eye open

as I'm sure that whatever he does, he has an ulterior motive, one which will benefit him first and foremost. A handful of people really have transformative moments in their lives when they do honestly change for the better, but I seriously doubt Gaetz is one of those people.

However, I do think it is possible that the frat boy may have grown up a bit and hopefully has put his childish stunts behind him.
