Matt Gaetz Is Heading To One America News And, Yes, There's Mockery

Social media wits gleefully noted that Fox News and Newsmax had declined to hire the former Florida representative and failed attorney general nominee.

The career of former Florida congressman Matt Gaetz has taken some strange turns since he withdrew from consideration to be Donald Trump’s attorney general last month. Gaetz resigned from Congress to accept Trump’s nomination, only to bow out of contention for the role amid sexual misconduct allegations . But now, instead of making news, Gaetz will be discussing it starting in January as a host on the very conservative One America News Network.

This new job is in addition to selling personalized messages on Cameo for $500 a pop, a price he’s now dropped to $400 . Naturally, Gaetz said he was “ so excited to be part of the One America News family” in a post on X, formerly Twitter. I am so excited to be part of the One America News family! https://t.



co/J2x3eDZhWm Although OANN enjoyed some publicity from Donald Trump and his allies in 2020, it also promoted Trump’s election lie that he didn’t actually lose to Joe Biden . That led to the network being dropped by major carriers and a defamation lawsuit from Smartmatic , a voting technology company. OANN also pushed other conspiracy theories, including in a 2021 interview with a woman who claimed that COVID vaccines made her magnetic .

The bipartisan mockery of Gaetz and his new gig popped up on various social media platforms. Hahahaha!!! So, all Matt Gaetz could get is a gig as an anchor on the third-rate One America News Network (OANN) — not Fox News or even NewsMax. Too funny!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Sorry, Matt, but there's nothing to crow about here.

No one watches this network. If a tree falls in the wood and no one is around, does it make a noise? Very disappointed that you chose to do this rather than to help to bring your ex-cohorts to justice. I bet all the Floridians that voted for you feel happy that you’re going to be a TV show host instead of their representative.
