Rep. Taylor Marjorie Greene and Rep. Matt Gaetz’s first stop of the “America First” tour was a success.
Hundreds of people lined up outside a venue in the Villages, Florida to listen to both Greene and Gaetz speak.
Greene started off her speech by saying “Tell me, who is your president?” in which the crowd replied “Trump”.
Gaetz also fired up the crowd and was quoted saying: “Today, we send a strong message to the weak establishment in both parties: America First isn’t going away”.

WPTV covered the story and dropped these details:
U.S. Reps. Matt Gaetz and Marjory Taylor Greene, two of the Republican Party’s most controversial figures, have kicked off their “America First” rally roadshow with a Donald Trump-centric revival of sorts at a Florida retirement community.
Friday’s rally attempted to position the House members as successors to the former president’s populism among the MAGA faithful.
“Tell me, who is your president?” Greene shouted after walking out onto a ballroom stage in front of hundreds of supporters wearing “Trump” T-shirts and “Make America Great Again” red ballcaps.
“Trump,” the maskless crowd of retirees wearing MAGA red yelled back.
Joking that he was a “marked man in Congress … but a Florida man,” Gaetz called Trump “the undisputed leader of the Republican Party.”
“Today, we send a strong message to the weak establishment in both parties: America First isn’t going away. We are going on tour,” Gaetz said. “It’s no longer the red team against the blue team. It’s the establishment against the rest of us.”
Awesome rally tonight! We'll see y'all at the next one!#AmericaFirstRally pic.twitter.com/TOQSULSFHC

Newsmax got the scoop too:
U.S. Reps. Matt Gaetz and Marjorie Taylor Greene, two of the Republican Party’s most high-profile and perhaps controversial figures, kicked off their “America First Rally” roadshow Friday with a Trump-centric revival of sorts for the MAGA faithful at a Florida retirement community.
The gathering appeared to be an attempt to position the two conservatives as successors to the former president’s brand of populism.
“Tell me, who is your president?”” Greene shouted after walking out onto a ballroom stage in front of hundreds of supporters who were wearing “Trump” T-shirts and “Make America Great Again” red ballcaps.
“Trump!” the maskless crowd of retirees wearing MAGA red yelled back.
Joking that he was a “marked man in Congress … but a Florida man,” Gaetz called former President Donald Trump “the undisputed leader of the Republican Party.”
“Today, we send a strong message to the weak establishment in both parties: America First isn’t going away. We are going on tour,” Gaetz said. “It’s no longer the red team against the blue team. It’s the establishment against the rest of us.”
Gaetz held up himself and Greene as challengers to the establishment and successors to Trump’s populism.
“They lie about us because we tell the truth about them,” Gaetz said of the establishment.
Gaetz, battling claims he’s had sex with a 17-year-old girl, alluded to the investigation by referencing what he said were distorted descriptions of himself as someone who has wild parties with beautiful women. (He has flatly denied the allegations on multiple occasion.)
