Now Matt Gaetz is fighting with a fellow Republican over his 'mommy issues'

Rep. Matt Gaetz’s ongoing battle with almost everyone not named Donald Trump has added a new GOP congressman into the mix. 

On Sunday, CNN published a story about the behind-the-scenes moves orchestrated by House Speaker Mike Johnson and Rep. Max Miller of Ohio in order to convince Donald Trump to endorse incumbent Rep. Mike Bost of Illinois, who also happens to be an election denier.

Trump recently threw his support behind Bost, who is seeking a sixth term representing Illinois’ blood-red 12th Congressional District. But Bost is facing a serious primary challenge from former gubernatorial candidate and state legislator Darren Bailey, who has been boosted by the famously irritating Gaetz. 

If there is any question whether or not the Florida congressman’s relentless attacks on his fellow GOP colleagues have left a bad taste in their mouths, Miller told CNN that Trump’s endorsement of Bost showed that “Matt [Gaetz] always finds himself on the wrong side of history. He wants more chaos. He has mommy and daddy issues to work out.” Fantastic stuff! 

Gaetz responded by tweeting another news article, writing, “@RepMaxMiller says I have ‘mommy issues’ Does this seem like projection considering Max was accused of physically abusing his (much older) ex girlfriend?”
