Everyone Made Jokes at the Expense of Matt Gaetz’s Apparently Overly-Botoxed Face – Here Are Some of the Best
Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) had his big moment at the Republican National Convention on Wednesday with a fiery speech in rousing support of former President Donald Trump. But that’s not what people were talking about.

The tell-tale signs? His face was barely moving. Eyebrows — immobile. Complexion — smooth and artificially shiny. Need more evidence? Here’s a before and after:

Honest question. Is this Matt Gaetz at the Republican national convention or a bad AI-generated video of Matt Gaetz?
