House Republican says Trump calls him regularly because I defend him on television

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) said that President Trump calls him on the phone periodically, and that he believes it's because he often comes to the president's defense on television.

"He cracks me up when he calls," Gaetz told BuzzFeed News.

"I think it’s because I defend him on television," the Florida Republican said, explaining why Trump calls him.

Gaetz, a freshman congressman who took office just weeks before Trump entered the White House, has emerged as one of the president's most ardent defenders in Congress.

A felon who got elected - Hang my head in shame that he's my congressman. Got his position because his daddy was a big-shit in local politics and ran in a over-crowded field of Repukes. Gaetz has a history of making poor choices, most recent one was inviting a neo-Nazi to Trump's State of the Union address.
