Matt Gaetz Takes Aim at Alan Ritchson After ‘Reacher’ Star Called Him a ‘Motherf—er’: ‘He’s Trying to Get Hollywood Attention but Not Just With Steroids’

Alan Ritchson called Matt Gaetz a "motherf---er," and Gaetz responded by saying the "Reacher" star is desperate for Hollywood attention.

“It’s shocking to me that the panhandle of Florida continues to vote for somebody—knowing everything we know about him and the promises that he’s made behind closed doors about pardoning certain criminals—he’s just not a good dude!” Responding to Ritchson on both his personal and professional X profiles, Gaetz wrote that “Hollywood apparently changes people” and claimed: “We were not ‘adversaries’ as I won debate championships and Alan did more acting stuff… He was always very nice to me (and everyone) and his mother, the computer lab monitor, loved me.” He gave up the bid amid allegations of sexual misconduct, which led to an investigation by the House Ethics Committee.
