“Eight months after plunging the Republican Party into a deep crisis, Rep. Matt Gaetz says he doesn’t want to divide the GOP. He wants to make it to be just like him,” the Wall Street Journal reports.
Said Gaetz: “I’m trying to reshape the House in my image.”
Asked to describe what that looks like, Gaetz said it is a Republican who can “end the wars, shut the border, reduce the spending” and is a “fighter.”
