Matt Gaetz Debuts His New OANN Show To Maybe Not The Feedback He Expected

Scandal-plagued former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) made his hosting debut on One America News Network on Thursday night after his failed attorney bid and the release of a damning House Ethics Committee report.

The controversial right-wing network announced last month that Gaetz would be joining its prime-time lineup with “The Matt Gaetz Show” in a 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. slot, weeks after he withdrew as Donald Trump’s pick to lead the Justice Department.

Among other guests, Gaetz hosted fellow pro-MAGA extremists Reps. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) and Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) to discuss House Speaker Mike Johnson’s (R-La.) battle to hold on to his gavel in a congressional vote this Friday.

But after the network released a teaser clip on Thursday, a large portion of the feedback focused on a totally unrelated subject.

“lol to whoever did his concealer,” one person wrote.

“Blending, this diva needs blending,” said another social media user.

“However much you might despise Matt Gaetz, his makeup person has you beat,” wrote another.

“Don’t expect Gaetz to tone down anything especially his lies,” read another comment on the makeup.

Other commenters declared the show “sucks” and questioned how Gaetz still “walked into a job” after all the allegations against him.

Gaetz received much of the same type of feedback after appearing at the Republican National Convention with a similarly eyebrow-raising look in July.

Just before Christmas, the House Ethics Committee released its report on its probe into Gaetz, which found that he violated House rules “prohibiting prostitution, statutory rape, illicit drug use, impermissible gifts, special favors or privileges, and obstruction of Congress.”
