“Gaetz is the Hunter Biden of the Republican Party,” McCarthy said in an interview with Politico. “He’s got an opponent who is pro-life, pro-Second Amendment, trained at Pensacola, went to the Naval Academy, and flew jets to defend us while Gaetz was getting kicked out of high school, buying coke, and paying minors for sex.”

McCarthy is alluding to the ongoing House Ethics Committee investigation into Gaetz, after reports alleged he was involved in illegal and somewhat salacious activities with his former associate Joel Greenberg. Greenberg was sentenced to 11 years for sex trafficking and other crimes in 2022.

”I’ll give you the truth why I’m not speaker. It’s because one person, a member of Congress, wanted me to stop an ethics complaint because he slept with a 17-year-old,” McCarthy said in a recent interview.

Dimmock was a last-minute entry as a Republican primary challenger to Gaetz, filing just hours before the deadline a couple of weeks ago. The New York Times noted, Dimmock’s campaign committee treasurer is also the treasurer for the American Patriots PAC, which was used by McCarthy in 2022. McCarthy also admitted to Politico that he “played a role” in vetting Dimmock.

Young Matty is not well-liked outside of his district in Florida, attacks the GOP and raises "campaign" money by using the intense dislike he creates from other GOPers.

3. Kevie made a bad mistake when he broke his agreement with Democrats. I think Johnson is going ...

... to go the same way. He thinks he's gold after watching MT Greene get spanked. What he doesn't get is Democrats saved his gavel for him.
