Matt Gaetz And Marjorie Taylor Greene Losing Tons Of Money On Their Stupid Tour

Republican Representatives Marjorie Taylor Greene and Matt Gaetz might be among the top ten Republicans in the House in terms of 2nd quarter cash hauls, but they are also hemorrhaging money from their respective campaigns. The problem is that their joint fundraising tour is costing them far more than it is bringing in, meaning they're wasting money talking to people who can't even vote for them. Farron Cousins explains what's happening.

Earlier this week, we talked about the fact that, uh, both Matt Gaetz and Marjorie Taylor green, each pulled in over $1 million in donations for the second quarter of this year, putting them both into the top 10 of house Republicans in terms of fundraising. That's no small feat, right? That's a big deal raising that much money, Connie, but

Days ticked by the experts

Started analyzing not just what was coming in, but also said, wait a minute, let's look at what's going out. And it turns out that both Matt Gaetz and Marjorie Taylor green in spite of their massive financial hauls are still both hemorrhaging money. And a lot of it has to do with one, obviously the scandals Matt gates is facing, but their stupid little tour that they're currently doing is, uh, turning out to be a real

Cash toilet because they're actually

Losing money. What they're doing right now with their little tour going across the country, it's a fundraising tour, right? Ultimately that is the goal. You have to get these people that show up to give you money because you have to pay Hey money to do this. You have to pay money for travel. You have to pay for venues, assuming they don't kick you out. You have to pay for all these kinds of things and their pay. And boy are they paying, but they're not getting anything in return. Great example here from a phenomenal report from the daily beast, when they did their little May 7th event at the villages in Florida, it costs them $342,000. That is how much money the pair cause they split it almost evenly between them. That is how much money they lost. Even after bringing in almost $60,000 in donations from it, they still lost $342,000.

So it was a $400,000

Event. They made back 60 lost $342,000. Matt gates in spite of his, uh, you know, close to what 1.3 million hall. I think it was also spent nearly $800,000, uh, in PR for the Logan circle group, Harlan hill

And all that. So yeah, yeah. I may

Have pulled in 1.3 million, but you spent 800,000 alone just on PR. Then you're dropping a couple hundred grand on this tour. That's not giving you the kind of money that it needs to.

Here's the thing.

This isn't obviously sustainable. And considering the fact that these two are hemorrhaging cash, it would likely stand a reason that they're a little fun tour for the summer is going to come to an end very, very soon you keep spending money when you do not have enough coming in. And here's the kicker for all of them. These two idiots have traveled to a single place in the country where anyone who attends the rally can vote for them. I'm sure they've done stuff in Florida where Matt gates is a Congressman,

But they didn't do it in his district.

So you spent a couple hundred thousand to go down to south central Florida. And that's not even where your district is, buddy. I'm sitting in your district. We haven't seen you at God knows how long, oh, trust me. We got some real problems here that we need somebody to work on, but you're out just traveling the country, wasting money on people who can't even vote for you. Same story with Marjorie Taylor green, by the way. And that's why I love this so much. There's gotta be nothing left. And sure, these two nut bags are both in safe, deep red districts, but that doesn't mean that they can't lose that thrown to a different Republican. You see, they're pretty much the two nuttiest Republicans that the Republicans in the house have to offer.

They're both

Embroiled in controversy, Matt gates, and a full-blown scandal that threatens to take down his career. And the GOP here in the state of Florida has already been kicking around names to replace Matt gates, Marjorie Taylor green on the other hand only won her election with 74% of the vote. Even though she ran on a post still couldn't get a quarter of people to vote for. And considering how universally hated she truly is. Wouldn't be difficult for a Republican with even half a brain to calm primary her and take her the seat. Same thing with Matt gates.
