Gaetz bails on Congress—and it’s totally not because of that report

Ding-dong, the witch is dead. Or at least probably gone for a while.

Former Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz told fellow right-wing troll Charlie Kirk on Friday that he doesn’t plan to return to Congress in January, despite winning reelection earlier this month.

“I’m still going to be in the fight, but it’s going to be from a new perch,” Gaetz told Kirk. “I do not intend to join the 119th Congress.”
