America First Congressman Matt Gaetz has crushed Aaron Dimmock, his primary challenger in Florida’s 1st Congressional District. Dimmock had been backed by Kevin McCarthy, the Republican-in-name-only (RINO) former Speaker of the House of Representatives ousted from his position by Gaetz in October 2023.
“Kevin McCarthy spent $3 million in this race,” Gaetz said following his 45-point victory over “DEI Dimmock,” whose background as a Black Lives Matter supporter and diversity, equity, and inclusion overseer was uncovered over the course of the primary campaign.
“$3 million,” Gaetz reiterated. “Two years ago, I got 70 percent of the vote. And tonight, it looks like we’re getting 73 percent of the vote. So, Kevin, if you’re watching, spend a little more next time, and we’ll get to 80!”
McCarthy became Speaker in January 2023 on his 15th attempt with the support of Gaetz, who had previously blocked his ascension. McCarthy made various promises to Gaetz and his faction on spending and holding the Deep State accountable—but reneged once he had the gavel, passing unpopular bills with more Democratic votes than Republican votes.
Gaetz made history by triggering a successful vote to remove McCarthy from the Speaker’s chair in October 2023. Since then, McCarthy has resigned from the House and embarked on a largely unsuccessful “revenge tour” to try to punish the MAGA lawmakers who ousted him.
Rep. Nancy Mace, one of McCarthy’s targets, mocked the “revenge tour” in February, suggesting the “bored” former Speaker should stop being “a complete loser” and “get a job.”
