Controversial US Reps. Matt Gaetz, Marjorie Taylor Greene find refuge at raucous joint rally in Florida

THE VILLAGES, Fla. — Two of the most controversial Republicans in the country were a big draw in The Villages Friday night, as hundreds gathered to see U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene join U.S. Rep. Matt Gaetz for the kickoff of their “America First” tour.

The two have joined to create “Put America First,” a joint fundraising committee, and Friday’s event in the country’s biggest senior community was the first of a series of scheduled rallies designed to appeal to former (and potentially future) Trump voters.

Rallygoers at The Brownwood Hotel & Spa cheered and waved signs for both Gaetz and Greene at a rally that echoed Trump rallies down to the choice of music, including “Macho Man” and Elton John.
