Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Florida) was mocked on social media for the appearance of his face during his RNC speech.

“Gaetz forgot to set a Botox limit,” wrote one user in an X post. “Shoulda Venmo’d that particular salad.”

“WTF did Gaetz do to his face,” criminal defense attorney Ron Filipowski asked on X.

Another user compared the images to how Real Housewives stars evolved.

The words “Housewives on their first season” were placed above the first image, while the words “Housewives on their fifth season” were placed above the second image.

“RNC debuts first AI powered inflatable sex doll to speak at a national convention,” Rep. Derrick Van Orden stated on the platform on July 18.

Gaetz is no stranger to social media dust ups. Earlier in the week, he confronted his nemesis, former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, on the convention floor.

In 2017, during a congressional hearing, Gaetz read an inaccurate text thread supposedly capturing Hunter Biden telling a Chinese businessperson that he was sitting with his father, Joe Biden, a scenario Biden frequently denied.

In late June, the House Ethics Committee revealed that it would keep investigating several accusations against controversial Gaetz, such as sexual misconduct and illegal drug use. Still, it did not say which allegations against him it was investigating and which were dropped. 

After speaking with over a dozen witnesses and reviewing thousands of documents, the committee declared that some accusations merit more analysis and “identified additional allegations.”

In their statement, they noticed “the difficulty in obtaining relevant information from Representative Gaetz and others,” saying it is examining if the congressman “accepted improper gifts, dispensed special privileges and favors to individuals with whom he had a personal relationship, and sought to obstruct government investigations of his conduct.”

It mentioned that it would not take action toward accusations that Gaetz “may have shared inappropriate images or videos on the House floor, misused state identification records, converted campaign funds to personal use, and/or accepted a bribe or improper gratuity.”
