As emboldened as Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) might have felt emboldened by being on the side of Republicans looking to oust Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) from House leadership, he should still keep a low profile on Twitter. He jumped on there Monday to gloat at a fellow Republican who feels differently on the Cheney matter, only to get dunked on.

Gaetz took to the platform Monday night to quote tweet Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.), who had tweeted, “No we voted. You were just wrong by like, a huuuuuge margin” to Luke Ball of Rightlife Media, in response to a tweet that had Gaetz saying in an interview with Steve Bannon, “My concern is that though today, we have the votes to remove Liz Cheney, somehow the Establishment’s going to find a way to kick the question, avoid a vote…”

Gaetz, triumphant that his side had done to Cheney this week what they weren’t able to do in February, called Kinzinger’s declaration back then, “Tweets that don’t age well.”

He left himself open for Kinzinger’s response, “I’d stay away from ‘aging well’ tweets.”
As we previously noted, the moderate Illinois Republican was clearly referring to Gaetz being under investigation for trafficking a minor for sex. Just two weeks ago, Gaetz’s friend Joel Greenberg admitted in a letter that both he and the congressman paid for sex with an underage girl.

That led to a whole lot of dunking, including the “What If Barack or Hillary Said It” account, who mirrored Gaetz’s “Tweets that don’t age well” with a 2017 tweet in which the accused sex trafficker took a selfie with six high school girls.
