Matt Gaetz tweets: "The Vegas dude seems like a real CHAD??"

"If you’re confused why Gaetz praised Vegas bomber, whose Cybertruck explosion injured seven people, you aren’t alone. If you’re confused about what 'a real CHAD' means, I envy the lack of psychic damage you’ve taken on the internet. Basically, he called Matthew Livelsberger an attractive, masculine man who he admires, which again doesn’t quite square with the whole 'blowing up a Cybertruck in front of a hotel' thing. Then again, it makes a lot more sense when you realize Livelsberger was a huge Trump supporter."

So, I guess to a beta like Gaetz, he is a Chad.

What a dumb thing to say. Ask DA/Sec/BFEE fellow Alexander Costa.

It gained fame in the incel movement as a boy/man who unfairly got all the girls/women (because they had been brainwashed to like that type, blah blah blah).

I'm sure that Gaetz used it to try and get incel support; though the use, when Gaetz bragged about the amount of sex he got, doesn't make sense (unless Gaetz is admitting he had to pay anyone to fuck him, as suggested above; but that amount of self-awareness and honesty seems unlikely for him).
