Rep. Matt Gaetz insinuates GOP Rep. Jason Smith is a closeted gay man

Far-right Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) has insinuated that fellow House Republican Jason Smith (R-MO) is a closeted gay man.

Gaetz made the insinuation on a recent installment of his Firebrand podcast. In it, Gaetz replayed Smith’s comments calling Gaetz a “foolish liar” and adding, “If Matt Gaetz’s lips are moving, it’s only lies that’s coming out of it.”

Smith accused Gaetz of lying about former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) sabotaging the candidacies of several Republican nominees for Speaker. House Republicans nominated three unsuccessful candidates and considered many others for the leadership role after Gaetz and seven other House Republicans voted to eject McCarthy from the speakership in early October. Republicans eventually voted rabidly anti-LGBTQ+ Rep. Mike Johnson (R-LA) into the position.
