Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz got a humiliating answer when he asked a rhetorical question involving his latest fundraising appeal, which touts the idea that former President Donald Trump be made speaker of the House if Republicans retake the lower chamber.

On Wednesday, Punchbowl News’ Jake Sherman tweeted a Gaetz fundraising letter that repeatedly promises to install Trump as second in line to the presidency should the GOP retake the House.

"So just think about how great it will feel when, after we take back the House and send Pelosi back to the filth of San Francisco, we make our next Speaker of the House Donald J. Trump! I pledge to you that this America First champion will have my vote once we defeat the far-left next cycle – is Trump as Speaker an idea you can get behind?"

But in his tweet, Sherman noted that although it’s possible for Trump to become speaker if there are 218 votes in his favor, “Trump world says he doesn’t want to be speaker. @gopleader [Kevin McCarthy] does want to become speaker.”

Gaetz tried to dunk on the “Fruitpunch news” reporter with a humblebrag and a question he should’ve probably checked on first, tweeting “Who is ‘Trump world?’ I talk to Trump directly, unlike Fruitpunch News.”

Sherman replied with a screengrab featuring a pretty darn reliable source.

Honestly it was kind of epic

There's pushing back on someone challenging your story. Then there's absolutely dunking the tar out of pushing back on someone challenging your story.

Doing it in a smoothly professional and understated way adds to what was definitley a media win for Sherman and for Punchbowl.

Ayn Rand Institute chairman Yaron Brook is a popular figure in internet media whose debates take in a lot of YouTube views. On Wednesday, he appeared on The Majority Report and made a comment about the collapsed Champlain Towers South in Surfside, Florida that got attention of a different kind.

On the podcast, the dyed-in-the-wool libertarian told an incredulous Sam Seder that the condo association “made a bad decision” and rightly "suffered the consequences of it."

Brooks said that in a truly free market, the company that insured the now collapsed building would have hired its own inspector to ensure the building was structurally sound. “Now, in the world we live in today, they don’t,” said Brook, “Because they rely on the government inspector.”

Seder responded by saying government and private inspectors had expressed concerns about the structural integrity of the building. “The private owners of that building made the decision not to fix it.”

“Then why are we worried about it?” asked Brook. “They made a decision and they suffered the consequences.”

“Because there’s a hundred and fifty dead people,” Seder replied.

“People who made a decision,” said Brook, “Who made a bad decision and suffer the consequences of it."

"I’m not justifying the building collapsing. I’m saying that people make decisions" he told the somewhat stunned Seder. "What you want is for the people who make the decision to suffer [or] to benefit from the consequences of their actions,"

Last night, those consequences were a shift from rescue to recovery in Surfside, with around 80 people still unaccounted for.
