Matt Gaetz demoted himself from congressman to third-rate news host & we’re cackling

Matt Gaetz was in the middle of a meteoric rise within the Republican Party when he torpedoed his own career so spectacularly that now the only job he can seemingly get is working for a far-right “news” channel.

We love a little schadenfreude in the morning!

On Tuesday, Gaetz announced that he’s joining One America News — the ultra-conservative broadcaster that heavily supports President-elect Donald Trump — as a host of the nightly The Matt Gaetz Show.

This means Gaetz went from being a Florida congressman to quitting his job in Congress so he could be Trump’s number one pick for attorney general — a position he dropped out of amid allegations of illegal drug use and sex with an underage 17-year-old girl — only to end up at a cut-rate news station that somehow manages to be a bigger MAGA supporter than Fox News.

Oh how the mighty have fallen. Gaetz will also co-host an OAN video podcast with Dan Ball, host of Real America with Dan Ball.

Just what we needed, another conservative white guy with a microphone.

It’s got to be embarrassing to go from working on Capitol Hill and being a hair’s breadth away from becoming Trump’s right-hand man to now having to shill for a propaganda machine masquerading as a news network that only MAGA die-hards watch. How embarrassing for him. Plus, he’s being roasted on X (formerly Twitter) where people are dunking on him for being “banned to the minor leagues," making fun of OAN for employing “pedophiles” — allegedly — and quipping that we probably won’t hear from him as much anymore now that “he will no longer be making news just reporting it.”
