@@subtlesuplex2394 He can't get the job he resigned from back without an election, which was his seat in the 118th Congress. He won the election for the 119th Congress and is entitled to take the Oath for it in January. The emergency election is to refill the seat for the remainder of the 118th Congress. Each election cycle is a new job. You have to get elected and sworn in each time. His election to office is still valid. His conditional letter of intent for the 119th Congrssional seat is not the same as officially turning down the position. In this case, KREM 2 News was incorrect.
He has literally said 3 different times in the last day to different interviewers that he will not be in the new Congress. He is moving on to do something in the private sector.
On what grounds would you subvert Democracy? He was elected into office by the citizens of his state. He is entitled to be swon in for the 119th Congress. That job was not resigned.
Yeah this is poorly researched. Gaetz's letter stated an intention not to take his seat for the next Congress. So that's not definitive. It was also conditional - whether he was the nominee for Attorney General. This reporter is kind of stupid. Nothing he said was factually incorrect but there was a complete lack of context. Like a child answering a question.
It was not conditional, he vacated his spot so his underage sex scandal wouldn't come to light to the American people because he is in fact a sexual predator and pedophile.
Yes Gov DeSantis IN THIS VIDEO says Gaetz is getting Rubio’s seat by appointment…golly these trolls don’t know their civics…pay attention…Gaetz is in the 119th Congress
Gaetz said he "did not intend to take the oath of office", but that was before he withdrew from the Attorney General nomination. So, you didn't answer the question; actually, you didn't ask the right questions. Does his election to that position still stand? Is there any reason he can't show up and take the oath of office and be seated in the House? If not, is there anything preventing him from running in a special election for his "replacement"?
No, this entire report is wrong. He can still have a seat in the 119th congress. These just want us to forget and move on. But we won't Release the ethics committee report on Gaetz. He's an american citizen and, as such, should face punishment for his crimes
He immediately resigned because he knew the report on his alleged (though easy to believe) transgressions was days from release. He knew he was cooked for AG, but it gave him an out. Not a dignified out, but more dignified than the scathing report that was no doubt about to torch him. Even if he could get his seat back, he wouldn’t take it.
"easy to believe"? Let's walk through the facts and do some independent critical thinking before making rather serious assumptions. 1. The person who made the allegation had ulterior motives and had been found guilty of the exact same false allegation against someone else. 2. After 3 years of FBI investigation the case was dropped due to lack of evidence. 3. Despite 3 years of investigating, the supposed victim was never found to exist. 3. It never reached the point of pressing charges, much less a legal case. 4. The media can't do any better than say "Allegations", because that's all it was. An allegation is just a person claiming someone did something. Anyone can make an allegation against anyone else at any time. Amber Heard made allegations against Johnny Depp and the media ate it up for the ratings. Later it was proven in court to be untrue. This case wasn't even good enough for charges to be pressed. That press release was going to come out whether he resigned or not.
@@Gawa722 I fully agree, and if that's what was happening here I would condemn it. What's actually happening is people are condemning a man for heinous crimes he was never charged with. "Innocent until proven guilty" is how it works in the USA. If the party affiliation was switched, the mainstream media would be blowing a fuse over spreading allegations that have already been determined to be false. If someone accused you of such crimes with no evidence, how would it make you feel? How much worse would you feel if the media kept blasting the story years later as if you hadn't been vindicated already? Don't simply join the mindless mob. Think critically and look into the facts yourself instead of being manipulated like a puppet. I'm not even a republican, but I have the integrity to point out foul play when I see it. Do better. Be better.
@@Gawa722 Falsely accusing someone of those things over allegations that have already been proven false is what's wild. Letting the media drag you around by the nose is wild. This was a clear case of weaponizing mainstream media to sway the public. They deliberately leave out the facts I pointed out above to take advantage of the uninformed public. This behavior is divisive and should be condemned. I'm an independent, and seeing both sides play these kinds of games is maddening. If we can't resolve disputes with civil discourse it can only lead to violence, because there are only 2 ways to resolve conflict: talking or fighting. I prefer the former.
Matt was re-elected Whether washington likes it or not the people have him as their pick come Januaray His resignation is more or less him going on hiatus until Jan 1st
And then the pedo report comes out and he resigns in shame or loses any meaningful support from the few people who support him and gets smoked in 2026. He ain’t taking the seat back, regardless of if he can.
Desantis could appoint him to Marco Rubio's Senate Seat. Just reward for this firebrand & the Senators that went against him will deal with him in their ranks. 😊
@curtisthomas2670 The gov will make the decision as Haley did regarding Tim Scott then he was elected next term. Gaetz is US Congressman reelected this last election in Pensacola FLA. Deals are always made in politics. Gaetz' wife said he will not return to congress even though he could.
@@curtisthomas2670That's exactly how it works. DeSantis gets to appoint the person to fill Marco Rubios seat. It could be Gaetz, which would be hilarious but the odds are he's going to appoint t Lara Trump to fill Rubios seat. DeSantis has to announce a special election to fill the seat Gaetz resigned from but there's not really enough time to set a date and get the candidates lined up. If Gaetz decides he wants his seat in January there is nothing stopping him from getting sworn in since he won the election. As for the claim about his intent to not seek the seat that was when he thought he was going to be AG. Of course he couldn't be sworn in the House if he had the AG job wrapped up.
@@FauxQue-yk8dt Yes but the moment he sets foot back into congres,s the Ethics Comitte can no longer hold off revealing the report, a,d it's already looking like it will be discovered done way or another what the results of it were, he'd be afool to get back in there. He's guilty and may have it be turned over to relevant authorities for criminal charges unless buddy buddy AG tries to cover it up, bu then you get a verfieid child sex trafficker in congress and that does not bode well for GOP image if that's being blasted over the airways constantly to rmeind people that the eGOP are scumbag humans.
@@FauxQue-yk8dt I thought Lara Trump would get the appointment until the recent decision regarding AG position. I think Trump has worked a deal with Desantis & Gaetz. The FIREBRAND is the right person for this position at this time in my humble opinion, giving THUNE much heartburn.
Yes he is. He resigned from the 118th Congress. He won election to the 119th Congress. He will be back in January. You guys should learn how this works before you start talking about it.
He said he doesn’t plan on taking the oath for the next Congress but he didn’t resign from that, he resigned from the last Congress. Another option which would drive liberals crazy, Is if DeSantis appointed him to take Marco Rubio’s job in the Senate because that is a government appointment until next election.
He resigned that's it. Gaetz is going for the Senate seat left vacated by Marco Rubio and then run for Governor when DeSantis term is up in 2026. Geez, that's what I would do.
OK, he said he would NOT come back in January. That tels me he really doesn't want that ethics report to come out. Of course since Marco Rubio will likely be part of the Trump administration Ron Desantis will be selecting his replacement. He could always select Gaetz. No confirmation needed.
"Child sex trafficking?" Could you be any more dramatic? I believe you were referring to a 17-year-old, who may have been a prostitute, who Gaetz took across state lines because he didn't know she was 17.
Any crime can be justified. But not Sexual assault and child abuse. And this was known about him for AWHILE. Birds of a feather. Fkn weirdos, all of ya
@@TayQwonB exactly it was known for four years and nothing was done and the democrat justice department dropped it and didn’t press charges so there’s nothing there and you all just got played by Trump by getting his first choice which was Pam Bondi!

Its hilarious that people who run the news dont know how congress works, how do u have a job, lol. He only resigned for this congress. he is congress man -elect for the next congress which begins Jan20th, so he can resume if he wants to, thats his choice. he will be out of public office for the next 2 months so he can do whatever he wants, and he doesnt seem that concerned, man has been tweeting, did an interview with Charlie Kirk so i suspect there is another position that will be announced not long from now. He does have a job starting Jan 20th if he wants to continue being congress man
Gaetz resigned from his seat in the 118th congress. He did not resign from the 119th congress, which he just recently won.
