Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) thought he’d spend part of his day trolling Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman (D), and was quickly slapped down by the senator, who told the Florida Republican he needed to get his shit together and do some actual work for a change.
According to Caroline Vakil of KTVX, Gaetz started the sniping between the two men during an appearance on Steve Bannon’s “War Room” podcast.
Fetterman was responding to a post Gaetz wrote on X on Wednesday regarding House Republicans’ impeachment inquiry, in which he responded to a video of Fetterman mocking the GOP effort.
“The evidence against Joe Biden is overwhelming. A first-year law student could win this case for impeachment before a fair jury,” Gaetz wrote.
“Unfortunately, the United States Senate isn’t a fair jury. It’s full of fashion icons like John Fetterman. While the Senate will be the platform, the American people will ultimately be the jury when we put that case before them,” he added.
Gaetz added to that by telling Bannon:

That was all Fetterman needed to destroy Gaetz.
Government shutdown in t-minus 16 days.
Instead of crying about how I dress, how about you get your shit together and do your job, bud? https://t.co/97vQMURDZX

Exactly. Do your freaking job, Venmo Matt. And we don’t mean the “job” you like to do with underage girls, either.
