GOP Florida Representative Matt Gaetz stressed that a demographic shift could help former Republican President Donald Trump regain control of the White House.
During an appearance on the right-wing cable news channel Newsmax,  he suggested that White women who were angry about abortion could easily be replaced by Latino and Black male voters.
Except, he deliberately chose a less eloquent route, declaring:
"For every Karen we lose, there’s a Julio and a Jamaal ready to sign up for the MAGA movement.” 
You can watch a clip here.
Gaetz explains why Republicans don\xe2\x80\x99t need women voters: \xe2\x80\x9cFor every Karen we lose, there\xe2\x80\x99s a Julio and a Jamaal ready to sign up for the MAGA movement.\xe2\x80\x9d

The female name Karen negatively entered into parlance as a White suburban woman who is entitled, while the names Julio and Jamaal are stereotypical names for Latino and Black men, respectively.

@RonFilipkowski Amazing, both sexist and racist in 11 seconds.

Gaetz is a devoted Trump ally known for a slew of controversies, including allegations of sexual misconduct, sex trafficking, campaign finance violations, and for being aligned with alt-right activist and racist internet troll, Chuck Johnson.
Social media users couldn't believe his remarks. 

@RonFilipkowski Could he be any more blatantly racist? Holy shit.

@RonFilipkowski Gaetz's attempt at justifying a lack of focus on women voters is both flawed and shortsighted. The MAGA movement is a terrorist organization and they need to be labeled as such.

Gaetz's comments followed Trump's victory with a 51% win on Monday night's Iowa Caucuses. 
“There is a relentlessness and a persistence in the Trump campaign that I think really emerges out of the candidate himself," said Gaetz, adding:
"In Iowa, this victory was so huge and really it was a testament to the resiliency of the Trump voter."“Because you had the worst conditions possible, historically, challenging weather and ice and these folks came out and voted overwhelmingly for the president.”Gaetz made the "Julio and Jamaal" comment after referring to the MAGA voters' overwhelming support as a "blue-collar realignment of the Republican Party."
He predicted:
"That bodes well for our ability to be more diverse and to be more durable as we head into not only the rest of the primary contests but also the general election.”Sure, Matt.

        Trump Dragged After Making Ridiculous Claim About Randomly Finding Billions On The 'Tariff Shelf'
    
Alan Herrera
Dec 05, 2025
President Donald Trump was criticized after he claimed to reporters this week that officials in his administration suddenly found $30 billion they "never knew existed"—located on what Trump referred to as the "tariff shelf."
Tariffs are a tax on imported goods, usually calculated as a percentage of the purchase price. While tariffs can shield domestic manufacturers by making foreign products more expensive, they are also used as a tool to penalize countries engaged in unfair trade practices, such as government subsidies or dumping goods below market value.

While Jenny Han's novel To All the Boys I've Loved Before was a major hit, and even became a great film success in 2018, not everyone's married to the idea of reconnecting with their exes after the relationships end.
It might be nice to imagine staying friends after the relationships, imagining our exes missing us or regretting losing us, or even giving us an apology for the things they did wrong. But most of us pine for this for a little while, realize it's all a fairy tale, and push past it to better things and new love.
