Yes, you read that correctly. Roughly 30 people packed into the Walnut Hill Baptist Church for the event, which began with Gaetz’s wife, Ginger Luckey, performing the national anthem. Meanwhile, a larger overflow room sat empty, according to local media.
Many in attendance weren’t from the area and at least one person had to be escorted out by police after being told it was a private event. It’s unclear whether the person was a protestor or simply confused as to where they were.
Walnut Hill is a small, unincorporated rural community that is almost as far as one can go to the northwest in Gaetz’s Northwest Florida district. Its population is but a tiny speck of the 800,000 or so people in Florida’s 1st Congressional District. It was his only stop Saturday in Escambia County and came after afternoon events in Crestview and Milton. Gaetz said he was proud to visit the far corner of the district to kick off his campaign even though, as he expected, the crowd was small.
During the event, Gaetz spewed his usual extreme right-wing talking points, including accusing the Biden administration of “gaslighting” Americans, saying “woke generals” were a threat to the U.S. military, and some nonsense of Hunter Biden’s laptop.

Looks like the Gaetz & Greene freak show is back on. They are both taking action to undermine Congressional security and dishonor respected allies visiting our country.
