I wonder what's the average IQ in these cult copium rallies and if there's someone supervising Gaetz around minors.

Rep. Matt Gaetz said he and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene have both spoken with President Donald Trump about their joint national speaking tour that will attack "half-Trumpers or Never Trumpers" and spread lies about the 2020 election.
The Florida congressman, who's under federal investigation for allegedly paying a 17-year-old girl for sex, framed his series of rallies with Greene, a fellow MAGA enthusiast from Georgia who regularly condemns the COVID-19 vaccines, as a way to help clear the 2024 presidential field for Trump.
"Our thinking is we're kind of the advance team for Trump if any of these, you know, Chris Christie, Nikki Haley kind of like half-Trumpers or Never Trumpers try to run," Gaetz told Vanity Fair. "I've talked to the president about it. Marjorie has talked to the president about it. And he likes the idea of having the energetic characters in our party out there in the early-primary states keeping the band in tune, if you will."
Greene opened the event at the Villages by asking the attendees to shout out the name of "their president," prompting them to yell, "Donald Trump!"
But the tour hasn't attracted the big bucks. As of late July, the pair spent about $287,000 on their events and raised just over $59,000 from the attendees, the Daily Beast reported.
