The New Yorker profiles Matt Gaetz

Yesterday, The New Yorker published a profile on Congressman Matt Gaetz by Dexter Wilkins – “Matt Gaetz’s Chaos Agenda.”

The subtitle is “The Florida Republican is among the most brazen and controversial figures in Donald Trump’s G.O.P. He’s also among the most influential.”

Matt is called:

– “one of the Republican Party’s most prominent and divisive figures”

– “a resemblance to Elvis Presley, or, in the description of a Florida friend, “either Beavis or Butt-head.”

– “quick-witted and sometimes very funny.”

– “the most unpopular member of Congress, with the possible exception of Marjorie Taylor Greene, and he doesn’t care.”

The article covers when the congressman approached the Trump White House looking for immunity. It touches on his reputation for “a freewheeling private life.” And much more.
