Rep. Matt Gaetz Did Something BIG On Newsmax

Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida surprised Newsmax viewers on Friday night.

Gaetz replaced Greg Kelly for the night and by no surprise the siting US congressman was able to do a great job hosting on behalf of Kelly.

Gaetz started off by saying “You’re on the right channel! If you’re confused, your eyes are not failing you and Greg Kelly did not suddenly get better hair. I’m Matt Gaetz. Thanks for joining us on Greg Kelly Reports. Greg has the night off.”

Later on in the show Gaetz interviewed FBI whistleblowers.

Here’s Getz’s opening monologue:

Per The Daily Beast:

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) appeared on Newsmax Friday night not as a guest, but as the fill-in host of the 10 p.m. show Greg Kelly Reports. “You’re on the right channel,” Gaetz told viewers at the top of the hour. “If you’re confused, your eyes are not failing you, and Greg Kelly did not suddenly get better hair.

I’m Matt Gaetz. Thanks for joining us on Greg Kelly Reports. Greg has the night off and I have the biggest stories driving Washington, D.C. right now,” the congressman said. Bizarrely, he went on to discuss debt ceiling negotiations between President Joe Biden and House Republicans, despite himself being a part of those negotiations. One unnamed staffer at Newsmax told Mediaite that even they were taken aback by the Florida

Republican cosplaying as a news host: “I was surprised seeing a sitting member of Congress hosting a network show.
