Newsmax Rejects Gaetz As Potential Hire Amid Federal Sex Trafficking Probe

Right-wing media outlet Newsmax is shooting down the idea of hiring the embattled Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), who is currently caught up in a federal sex trafficking investigation.

As I said on another thread: this means (a) he would have quit Congress if he’d scored a cushy gig to handle the 100s of 1000s he’s facing in legal bills; and (b) he’s only still in Congress because he’s too stupid and degenerate even for Newsmax.

Looks like Gaetz will be available to star in the movie “Close Encounters with the Third Grade” now.

Well, Burger King is hiring, so it’s not as though he’s completely out of prospects.

Sounds like a personal problem to me!

Gaetz knows he’s toxic!

I suppose he could give RT a shot.
They may even help out with relocating him to Yekaterinburg.

I have to wonder if Newsmax is reflecting a general move away from Gaetz by the right. It’s one thing to say that they have no plans to hire him; it’s quite another to announce that they “never told him they were interested”. It’s that extra knife twist, really. A “not only no, but why would you even think that we would consider it?” detail that shows how toxic he has become.

Like Newsmax (hard as it may be to believe,) Burger King might be concerned about damage to the brand.
I doubt they’d be willing to pick him up.

Hire him for what? Do they need someone to scrub bathroom floors?

I don’t know – I look at him and see Max Headroom with fetal alchohol syndrome. Maybe something along the lines of Breaking Abhorrent.

With the infamous ‘storming of the SCIF,’ he was clearly aiming for Geraldo’s old gig.

Newsmax to Matt Gaetz: Don’t give up your day job.

His go-to playbook is usually righteous indignation and shrieks of “cancel culture.” Wonder why the little predator is suddenly so quiet?

Well there’s always the far right wing channel that had the big COVID outbreak because they are anti-vaxxers. They hired “Satan’s Favorite Sodomite” Why not hire his favorite pedophile?

If Newsmax doesn’t want you, and your brass god, the former WH occupant, isn’t reaching out, and Marjorie thinks you’re value added, it may be time to rethink your game plan for world domination.
