It started when Gaetz resurfaced a months-old tweet from Kinzinger backing Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) ahead of her expected ousting from her GOP House leadership role this week. Gaetz quote-tweeted Kinzinger’s Cheney support with the barb: “Tweets that don’t age well.” Ten minutes later, Kinzinger shot back: “I’d stay away from ‘aging well’ tweets.” Gaetz is under investigation over allegations involving sex-trafficking and prostitution, including an alleged relationship with a 17-year-old.
