Those – and those – who have always thought that Republican Matt Gaetz was a cad got confirmation on July 23 when the dashing elected representative of Florida, representing the 1re constituency in Congress, spoke to students from the right-wing association Turning Point USA, gathered on his land in Tampa. Donald Trump, the former occupant of the White House, and the one who dreams of accessing it in 2024, the governor of Florida, Ron DeSantis, also intervened before the convention. But, as Matt Gaetz congratulated himself, it was his speech that ” the most attention ».
Matt Gaetz, 40, elected in 2016 in the wave “MAGA” (Make America great again), was delighted that abortion is no longer a constitutional right. ” Our America is proud to be a pro-life nation,” he assured.
