The closest @mattgaetz is going to get to the Oval Office is serving as president of his future cell block's Batman villain cosplay club.

Matt Gaetz said tonight that he will run for president in 2024 if Trump doesn\u2019t run. \u201cI am certain I can whoop Joe Biden up one side of the country and down the other.\u201dpic.twitter.com/f0vlXG5DSE

Well, it seems Matt Gaetz might be running for President in 2024! Great news for political satirists and literally nobody else. Luckily I\u2019m a satiristhttps://www.google.com/amp/s/www.independent.co.uk/voices/matt-gaetz-2024-president-trump-marjorie-taylor-greene-b1855381.html%3famp\u00a0\u2026

Gaetz did a wonderful job of kissing trump's arse BEFORE and AFTER he made this statement. It was couched in so much trump love you would think that trump was a minor.

BREAKING: Matt Gaetz said that if Trump doesn't run for president in 2024, he will. \n\nSo if the guy accused of having sex with minors doesn't run, the guy accused of having sex with minors will.

This dude is so embarrassing! And Bannon still makes money consulting for some of the far right parties in Europe, including our much hated Vox. Why don't they investigate that?

I\u2019m not sure if it will be @MattGaetz, @GovRonDeSantis or President Donald J. Trump, but I am damn sure that in 2024 a Florida Man will be in the White House!

\u201c@mattgaetz is the perfect candidate for the future! Seriously, can you name another political figure who\u2019s actively courted Americans who won\u2019t even be able to vote for another 4 to 6 years??

The people want "passion, excitement and inspiration." @mattgaetz? Is this your interpretation of your "research" from a "focus group" of underage females? As an over-18 female voter, I want results, not your Spring Break attitude toward life.

Matt look over here I might be a presidential candidate in 2024. Don't look over there because my buddy Greenberg pleaded guilty to sex trafficking, wire fraud, identity theft, stalking and conspiracy.

All Trump won\u2019t run \u2018cause he\u2019ll be in jail. And Matt - well let\u2019s just say Trump may have company. Does the prison population elect a student body President?

He can be president of the cell block if Trump doesn't run.

Gaetz then followed the interview up by saying in his rally speech that he thinks Trump will come back and be the GOP nominee for president in 2024, \u201cbut if he doesn\u2019t, who knows?\u201dpic.twitter.com/ce9BPpPwjl

The terrifying thing is that not enough people are taking the threat that Gaetz, Greene et al pose to US democracy seriously. The GOP voting laws could see them retake Congress in 2022, paving the way for Trump or someone more dangerous assuming the Oval Office in \u201824.
