In a recent segment on Fox News, former Rep. Trey Gowdy took aim at Congressman Matt Gaetz, criticizing his role in what Gowdy sees as sowing discord within the Republican Party. Gowdy said, “The House leadership is already united. They need to go talk to the Matt Gaetzes of the world and others who are sowing the seeds of discord. They are not Mike Johnson and Richard Hudson.”
Trey Gowdy complained on TV today that President Trump needs me to fall in line to unify the Republican Party.

Gaetz, a staunch supporter of former President Donald Trump, quickly responded to X. He reminded Gowdy and the public of Gowdy's past actions in Congress, saying, “Trey Gowdy complained on TV today that President Trump has of getting in line to unify the Republican Party. When @TGowdySC was in Congress, he defended the FBI and Director Wray, as he was targeting President Trump.”
This exchange highlights an important division within the Republican Party. On the one hand, moderate “conservatives” like Gowdy advocate a more traditional approach to party unity and leadership. On the other hand, figures like Gaetz, who defends the America First agenda, emphasize unwavering support for Trump and the will to challenge the status quo.
Gaetz's response underscores a broader sentiment among grassroots conservatives who believe the party's moderate wing lacks the resolve to fight for conservative principles. Gaetz's alignment with Trump and his America First policies resonates with a significant portion of the Republican base, which sees him as a fighter willing to take on both Democrats and establishment Republicans.
