I can listen to Matt Gaetz, knowing he's a scumbag, but also agreeing that omnibus bills are silly and legislation needs to be more targeted with issues separate from each other. Do I wish Florida sent someone else? Sure. But this guy is here, and I'm not going to disagree with him about absolutely everything just based on party lines. If he says something I agree with, it's worth saying publicly that these people agree with each other on certain things. I can hear John Bolton discuss his warmongering and think it's not the right solution, but that doesn't mean Bolton doesn't have strong insight about the problems and his solution, while extreme, is extreme for a reason and it's worth listening to why.
I'd probably have someone like that in my cabinet just to know that having them disagree with me probably means I'm on the right path.

Matt Gaetz will support omnibus bills when Trump wants to pass them lol. Like you seriously think if Trump cobbles together an omnibus bill to eliminate women's right to vote, eliminate taxes on the wealthy, and arm Israel endlessly, that Gaetz somehow won't be passing it I genuinely don't know what to tell you. As to throwing Bolton a cabinet post or some committee seat cause "hey, he's terrible, and if he disagrees with me that tells me I'm right", FOX News will still exist. You don't need to have him anywhere near your sphere to get his "insight", you can get it for free.
