There's plenty to attack you about Matt, no need for influencers

I was so disappointed when Gaetz (almost forgot to include the name, have to be specific when talking about Republicans) wasn't charged after all the venmo stuff came out. Like it seemed there was evidence that he should have at least been charged and had a trial. Unless I missed something else after that completely absolved him of ties with the sex trafficking guy who he was apparently buddy with.

Reading lately how apparently Matt “was lost” at Camp David and tried to get Hutchinson to “help him find” his cabin only to have McCarthy (who was talking to Hutchinson when Matt tried this) tell him to get a life and shut the door in his face really fleshes out the animosity between them in the most amusing possible way.

Gaetz accused McCarthy of hiring social media influencers to trash him online

The Messages people received:

(Hey {{FirstName}}, g | Howdy! G)ot an advocacy campaign with budget. Do you do paid posts? If so how do you work? By the way, the issue is against Gaetz and government shut down. Let me know asap!

So it's a paid campaign that's cold calling. Which sounds amateur at best. Most high ranking political folks have campaign lists that have tight contacts that step in line. The cold calling and the automation having few {{FirstName}} values really indicates to me this is someone who hasn't ever done this before or someone scripting out the messages perhaps via Selenium API.

Either way, no way this was from Kevin McCarthy reasonably. The Speaker has way better methods than just going virtually door to door and asking folks.

Gaetz is too delusional to grasp that plenty of people hate him enough to trash him without a check from McCarthy

Bingo. This is very likely the answer and now that it is a story, it at least got the person who was running it attention and verification of which parts of their scheme worked. Sowing discord is a thing and I doubt person messaging had money so likely was to get some whispers out there.

And they say there's no reason to monitor web traffic for elections. HA! But, I mean I'd expect nothing less from Gaetz to blindly accept anything being feed to him. One time he entered into the record Chinese propaganda without vetting it. And was summarily called out on it. Dude is soft clay and various other nations manipulate him like he's their plaything.

when you join the party of lying about your enemies and are surprised when your enemies in the party lie about you

Maybe he has buyer's remorse for the shutdown, finally realizing that his group of shitheads will be blamed. Good faith compromise is always off the table for Gaetz, so he hatches a sob story and blames McCarthy.

"scumbag" and "shut the fuck up" were also heard from other members of the group

Jerry! Jerry! Jerry!

This is awesome they are finally turning on each other. 🍿

Where are all these fucking leopards coming from???

Dickbags, they're all dickbags.

Always good to see their paranoia being turned on themselves.

I mean it honestly is pretty likely that all these politicians are hiring people to attack their enemies. This is a pretty well known thing but people pretend like it doesn't happen when it's their side. There's a whole industry around it called opposition research. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_campaigning

Just hand them some boxing gloves and dish out the popcorn!

Punk asses be punkassin'

Matt Gaetz bought and sold child sex slaves.
