Former Florida Republican Representative Matt Gaetz has an interesting career trajectory, to say the least. Gaetz resigned from Congress, then was President-Elect Donald Trump’s pick for U.S. Attorney General, after that fell through he joined OANN (One America News Network) as a TV show host. That’s one strange trip! Well, tonight he made his debut on his new TV gig as host of The Matt Gaetz Show.
Let’s just say reviews were not kind. (WATCH)

Many say it’s hard to take Gaetz seriously behind the desk because of how strange he looks.
Why does he look like a Thundercat?

Others believe Gaetz has undergone some recent plastic surgery.
I'm just going to keep my mouth shut, but I have questions about his face.

What is going on with his grill? Dude stop getting work done to your face bro. Christ

Sweet Jesus he needs to layoff the plastic surgery

He's gonna give Joan Rivers a run for her money at this before it's over

Still, others are having a hard time accepting Gaetz’s path that has brought him to this point. It’s a hard thing to wrap one’s mind around, if we’re being honest.
So he ditched Congress for the AG pick, only to end up slinging news on TV? Wack.

Now there's something I never thought of, Matt Gaetz having a show on OAN.

So weird how bro was a decently popular Congressman who was a Cabinet nominee then ended going into media. I feel like he should’ve stayed in Congress.

Will someone please explain this?
— Linda Traitz (@LindaTraitz) January 3, 2025
I mean, why?
Gaetz show is being marketed by OANN as pro-Trump. He’s in a coveted prime-time slot which airs weeknights. Gaetz had plenty to talk about in his debut, covering the recent terror attack in New Orleans and Republican Mike Johnson’s push to remain Speaker of the House among other topics.
