Matt Gaetz says he will nominate Donald Trump for House speaker

It's the idea that just won't die.

At a rally in Georgia on Saturday night, Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz introduced former President Donald Trump. And said this:

"Give us the ability to fire Nancy Pelosi, take back the majority, impeach Joe Biden and I am going to nominate Donald Trump for speaker of the United States House of Representatives."

To which Trump responded: "Well, that was interesting."

His fellow child molester.

the public information that has already been disclosed, it really does make you wonder why he's never been charged? Certainly seemed that he was as culpable as his BFF and felon, Greenberg.

Is Greenberg from a rich family and as privileged as Gaetz?

The Repubs take both the house and senate this year.

The speaker of the house does not technically have to be an actual member of the house. IDK? So they make Trump speaker.

They impeach and remove both President Biden and VP Harris.

The speaker of the house is next in line.... good ole Trumpie

I think they'll make him Speaker if they take the House so he can preside over impeachment hearings and stand up behind Joe in 2023 to tear up a SOTU speech.

In exchange they might ask Trump to take a pass on running for POTUS in 24.

Trump is ALL about childish revenge.

While there is no constitutional requirement the Speaker be an elected representative, there is a very long list of Republicans who ARE members of the House who think they should be Speaker.

My recommendation is that when we retain the House after November, we invoke the 14th Amendment to remove all the insurrectionists. That includes Gaetz.

... should play the clip of that in campaign ads. A vote for any seemingly white bread republican for congress is a vote for "Speaker Trump." Keep tying him around their necks.
