Former Congressman Matt Gaetz, known for his active presence on social media, shared several tweets this past week highlighting various topics. Gaetz, who represented Florida's 1st District in the U.S. Congress after replacing Jeff Miller in 2017, expressed opinions ranging from political endorsements to personal observations.

Gaetz, on April 12, 2025, posed a hypothetical proposal regarding Karoline Leavitt, suggesting, "Can we clone @karolineleavitt and have one be the Press Secretary and the other run for the open US Senate seat in her home state of New Hampshire?" This tweet appears to endorse Leavitt for a higher political role, reflecting her potential impact in the political landscape.

In a tweet from April 13, 2025, Gaetz commented on a seating situation, advising, "Imagine being the normal person sitting next to this woman. She should have to buy the WHOLE ROW." This message suggests a critique of personal space etiquette during travel.

Continuing his engagement with his followers the same day, Gaetz reacted to an unspecified context with a rhetorical question, "Of what? The Rotary Club?" The brevity of the tweet leaves room for various interpretations, possibly referencing involvement in community organizations.

Matt Gaetz has served in the U.S. Congress representing Florida's 1st District since 2017 and previously served in the Florida House of Representatives from 2010 to 2016. Born in Hollywood, Florida, in 1982, he resides in Niceville and is an alumnus of Florida State University and College of William & Mary, holding degrees in political science and law, respectively.
