Matt Gaetz Tells Newsmax Host Rittenhouse 'Would Probably Make a Good Congressional Intern', May Reach out to Gauge Interest in Helping Country

  • Republican Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz said Kyle Rittenhouse is not guilty of the charges brought against him, adding that he would “make a great Congressional intern.”
  • The Florida representative joined Newsmax host Grant Stinchfield Thursday arguing that Rittenhouse “deserves a not guilty verdict” and that his office may reach out to the 18-year-old defendant on a potential internship position.
  • “Thank you for your advocacy for Kyle Rittenhouse, he is not guilty,” Gaetz said. “He deserves a not guilty verdict and I sure hope he gets it, because you know what? Kyle Rittenhouse would probably make a good congressional intern. We may reach out to him to see if he’d be interested in helping the country in additional ways.”
