Well if it is a true story all I can say is that Matt Gaetzdoesn't understand the concept of making a threat. Someone should really sit him down and try to explain that if you want your threat to stop something from happening then you should make sure it's something so undesirable it actually stops people from doing what you don't want them to do. With this particular threat I would imagine Kevin McCarthy's in box was filled with offers for deals from Democrats, this morning.One source of the Matt Gaetz resignation threat story. Not the most upstanding or remarkable source, but a source none the less.
