‘All you have to do is see people like Marjorie Taylor Greene. You look at people like Matt Gaetz, who know better. “I don’t think any of them believe the things they attribute to them, they just want fame,” Kinzinger said. And then you have to look at all that stuff and say, ‘OK, can it be defeated? Who are opponents who can actually run against them? ”
Gaetz later shot back and told the congressman to ‘bring it’.
‘Adam needs PACs to win elections. I do not, ”Gaetz declares. Gaetz had earlier rejected accepting campaign contributions from PACS.

“We believe this case is going to be a plea,” federal prosecutor Roger Handberg said at the start of the short trial in an ominous development for Gaetz. “My hope would be to get it done this month.”
