Marc Short, former chief of staff to former Vice President Mike Pence, clapped back at Rep. Matt Gaetz over the recent comments the Florida Republican made about Pence during a recent speech at the Turning Point USA conference. Gaetz told the crowd of young Republican voters that Pence would "never be President."

Short appeared on CNN's "Erin Burnett OutFront" on Monday, where the host played a clip of Gaetz's remarks aimed at Pence where the Florida Republican declared, "Our America is proudly ultra MAGA, not some low-energy roadside RINO safari. On that note, let me just say what everybody here knows: Mike Pence will never be President. Nice guy, not a leader."

Short responded to Gaetz's remarks to say that he wasn't sure if Pence would run for President in 2024, then he unloaded on Gaetz.

"I don't think Matt Gaetz will have an impact on that," Short said. "In fact, I would be surprised if he's still voting. It's more likely he'll be in prison for child sex trafficking by 2024. And I'm actually surprised that Florida law enforcement still allows him to speak to teenage conferences like that. So I'm not too worried about what Matt Gaetz thinks."

Liddle Matt Gaetz is under an FBI investigation for alleged sex trafficking of a minor and making multiple Venmo payments to women for some sexy time. Does anyone know why this sleazeball still has a seat at the table instead of making and selling toilet wine in prison? Because I really need to hear a good excuse for him walking around all willy-nilly seemingly without a care in the world. Also, America is not "proudly ultra MAGA," We fired the crime-y MAGA guy in 2020. MAGA is still alive, but it's in its death throes.
