Embattled Florida representative Matt Gaetz is contemplating leaving politics and heading to NewsmaxTV, according to media reports. Gaetz is also reportedly at the center of a federal sex trafficking investigation.
Gaetz is no stranger to network television appearing on several Fox News programs including Hannity and Tucker Carlson Tonight. He is a staunch supporter of former president Donald Trump who Newsmax defended vigorously after a contentious presidential election.
“Yes. I’ve had many conversations with many people about life after Congress,” Gaetz told The Daily Beast. “These conversations have been very general in nature and have never included me soliciting or receiving an offer of employment.”
While nothing is imminent, Gaetz said that he has had conversations with just about every right-leaning television network. “I have neither received nor solicited offers from any of them. But yes, I have talked to either executives, producers or hosts at Newsmax, OAN, Fox, Fox Business, Real America’s Voice and probably others I’m forgetting at this moment as I focus intently on refuting false accusations against me.”
Newsmax TV’s top show is Greg Kelly Reports which airs at 7 pm ET. Besides that, the network has tremendous flexibility in what or who they could plug in.
Despite a potential criminal investigation against him, Gaetz remains extremely popular amongst Conservative Republicans.
