Matt Gaetz is Not Worried About Trump Losing Women Voters: ‘For Every Karen We Lose, There’s a Julio and a Jamal Ready’

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) told Newsmax host Carl Higbie on Wednesday that “for every Karen we lose, there’s a Julio and a Jamal ready to sign up for the MAGA movement” in 2024.

During an appearance on Newsmax’s Carl Higbie Frontline, Gaetz said:

There is a relentlessness and a persistence in the Trump campaign that I think really emerges out of the candidate himself. In Iowa, this victory was so huge, and really it was a testament to the resiliency of the Trump voter because you had the worst conditions possible, historically challenging weather and ice, and these folks came out and voted overwhelmingly for the president. I met with a lot of those folks.

He continued, “This is the blue collar realignment of the Republican Party and what I can tell you is for every Karen we lose, there’s a Julio and a Jamal ready to sign up for the MAGA movement, and that bodes well for our ability to be more diverse and to be more durable as we head into not only the rest of the primary contest, but also the general election.”

Higbie responded, “Well also, you know, when Trump was president, it was better for all people, not just people of certain races.”

“Yeah,” replied Gaetz.

“Karen” is a controversial slur used to describe suburban White women who are perceived to be entitled and rude, while “Julio” and “Jamal” are stereotypical names for Hispanic and African-American men respectively.
