What Do We Know About Matt?
It feels like maybe the longest cycle in recent political history: the rise, stumble, then face-plant of Matt Gaetz. Turns out it actually hasn’t been that long!
NOTUS’ Reese Gorman and Violet Jira have the timeline of how we got to Monday. Hard to believe it was April 27, 2023, when Gaetz told CNN he would give Kevin McCarthy “an A” as speaker, the pair detail. That date was “less than a month before the Ethics Committee restarted its investigation into Gaetz,” and around four months before McCarthy was ousted with Gaetz’s help.
