Two hysterical things about Matt Gaetz nominating Trump for Speaker is:
1. MAGAts on Twitter celebrating
2. Trump listed as “others”. pic.twitter.com/9bCiOJc5Z3— Laurie (@Laurieluvsmolly) January 5, 2023

Matt Gaetz again nominates Trump because this is a very serious party.

Matt Gaetz voted for Donald Trump to be speaker of the house.
I for one always enjoy watching Trump lose an election.
Thanks Matt Gaetz.

An actual member of Congress (granted, it was Matt Gaetz) actually just voted for the guy who incited an insurrection to try to keep himself in power after losing an election, for Speaker of the House. This is apparently where we are now.

Don't look at it as Kevin McCarthy losing his eighth vote in Congress; look at it as Donald Trump losing his third vote in Congress https://t.co/Mj3ZX8aq6X

Well to Matt Gaetz's credit, having Donald John Trump as Speaker certainly would make the next insurrection at the Capitol easier.

BONUS – This might be the only solution to the deadlock.
Fine. I'll be House Speaker.
