Letter from 30 of Matt Gaetz's classmates 'denounced' him as 'the antithesis of a citizen lawyer'

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) once bragged about his family's ownership of a house seen in the film The Truman Show, and he was "denounced" by at least 30 of his college classmates as "the antithesis of a citizen lawyer."

In a profile of Gaetz published on Sunday, The New York Times speculated what "the prankish and abundantly coifed 40-year-old Mr. Gaetz" would do with his newfound power after nearly derailing Rep. Kevin McCarthy's (R-CA) speakership.

"Will he assert himself more on substance and push harder on his far-right agenda? Or is his only goal blowing things up?" the column asked.

But Gaetz insisted that he was "not some 'Lord of the Flies' nihilist" in a recent interview.
