Former Congressman Matt Gaetz, known for his tenure representing Florida’s 1st district, recently took to social media to express his views and promote upcoming broadcasts. Gaetz has been a prominent figure in U.S. politics since replacing Jeff Miller in Congress in 2017 and previously served in the Florida House of Representatives from 2010 to 2016.

On May 8, 2025, Gaetz tweeted “I’m a proud WASP!” at 18:05 UTC. The tweet reflects Gaetz’s self-identification with the acronym often used to describe White Anglo-Saxon Protestants.

Later that day, at 18:30 UTC, he posted another brief tweet stating “Fact”. The post was accompanied by a link but lacked additional context or explanation.

In a subsequent tweet on the same day at 21:36 UTC, Gaetz promoted an upcoming segment on “Anchormen,” highlighting a discussion titled “Unchained Trump: Is he saving the global economy?” The program was scheduled to air at 7 PM EST.

Matt Gaetz, aged 40, was born in Hollywood, Florida. He resides in Niceville and holds degrees from Florida State University and the College of William & Mary.
