Former Congressman Matt Gaetz, who has served in the U.S. Congress representing Florida’s 1st District since 2017, shared his thoughts on recent geopolitical developments through a series of tweets. Gaetz, who previously served in the Florida House of Representatives from 2010 to 2016, offered his perspective on international relations and historical conflicts.
On June 18, 2025, Gaetz addressed Iran’s use of artificial intelligence in their media strategy. He advised Iran that if they aim to deter the United States from military action, they should avoid producing “an AI generated video that makes war look like a video game.” He added, “Warmongers love video games. I hate to say it, but ISIS had a better content game.”
Later that day, Gaetz commented on historical religious conflicts by stating, “A religious Crusade? We kinda have a losing record on those.” This tweet reflects on the historical outcomes of such endeavors.
On June 19, 2025, Gaetz referenced past military engagements with a brief remark: “We weren’t greeted as liberators.” This statement alludes to previous expectations versus realities in military interventions.
Matt Gaetz was born in Hollywood, Florida in 1982 and currently resides in Niceville. He graduated from Florida State University with a Bachelor of Science degree and later earned a Juris Doctor from the College of William & Mary.
