Matt Gaetz reminds me of "Congressman Alex Shrub", a minor character from Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.

The Shrub character is a stereotypical 1980s Republican congressman who was described as "the youngest state congressman to ever be elected by Vice City and now a respected man in the capital. Mr. Shrub got elected because he has great hair and says things that make you nod your head. His campaign appealed to the wealthy because he set all of us at ease by finally confirming, 'It's okay to be rich, as long as you say you care about the children.' "

EDIT: if you never played that video game, it has fictitious in-game radio stations. Roll this ahead to 57:58 to listen to a panel show featuring the Alex Shrub character, it's hilarious:
