The battle to replace Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) is underway. Taking the steps necessary to fill the vacated seat, a special primary election will be held on January 28, while the special election is set to occur on April Fool\u2019s Day. In a growing field of interested candidates, John Frankman<\/a> announced his interest in the seat on November 14.<\/p>\n

\n

I\u2019m a Special Forces Green Beret who was forced out of the military for refusing to take COVID shot.<\/p>\n

Now, I\u2019m running for Congress in Matt Gaetz\u2019s seat to support President Trump and his agenda.<\/p>\n

I fought for our freedoms in the Army, and I\u2019m ready to do it again.<\/p>\n

Hosted by Owen Shroyer, the War Room recently welcomed the former Army Special Forces Green Beret to the show to discuss his candidacy for congressional office. In the 18-minute video, Frankman discussed his military service, his courage to make tough decisions and much more. And on November 20, while admitting it was uncommon, the conservative talk show host gave Frankman his \u201cfull endorsement to fill Matt Gaetz vacant seat.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

I don\u2019t usually do endorsements, but @JohnFrankmanFL<\/a> has my full endorsement to fill Matt Gaetz vacant seat. He is an American Patriot and will make an excellent Representative. Hear from him yourself: pic.twitter.com\/yDep7adM5F<\/a><\/p>\n

Frankman\u2019s popularity doesn\u2019t end there. Local residents are backing him for his courage and his promise to support President-elect Donald Trump.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The Gateway Pundit spoke to Jordan Karr, a nine-year veteran of the U.S. Air Force who served as an intelligence officer. Karr is also one of thousands of veterans whose careers abruptly ended for standing against the tyrannical enforcement of the unlawful 2021 COVID-19 shot mandate.<\/p>\n

Since leaving the military, Karr has joined hundreds of other veterans, including Frankman, in the fight for accountability for the shot mandate<\/a>, the embarrassing and deadly Afghanistan withdrawal, and the destruction of the military at the hands of Critical Race Theory (CRT) and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) training.<\/p>\n

Karr and others simply want \u201cthe military back on track to being the most powerful lethal fighting force in the world,\u201d she explained. Because they share the same mindset, Karr said she is pleased to see Frankman in the congressional race.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am a Florida District 1 voter, and I\u2019ll be voting for John [Frankman],\u201d she offered.<\/p>\n

Her primary reason for supporting Frankman: \u201cHe\u2019s not bought and paid for, and he\u2019s more than willing to fight alongside the Trump administration on behalf of all Florida 1 voters and constituents.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMatt Gaetz (R-FL) was instrumental as a Florida representative in a lot of areas, including the military, and I trust John will be as equally successful\u2026or even better than his predecessor because he\u2019s personally been negatively impacted by federal bureaucracy,\u201d she shared. \u201cIf I had to say one thing, I think John would be better at than most D.C. politicians, I really think he would be more receptive to the local people.\u201d<\/p>\n

In his Nov. 14 announcement on X, Frankman said, \u201c[He is] running for Congress in Matt Gaetz\u2019s seat to support President Trump and his agenda.\u201d<\/p>\n

When Karr read the statement, she wholeheartedly believed it because \u201cJohn\u2019s already been doing it.\u201d<\/p>\n

She explained, \u201cHe\u2019s already been supporting Trump both locally and on social media, amplifying a message of why he thinks it\u2019s important to back President Trump long before he ever considered running for Congress.\u201d<\/p>\n

For Karr, this marks a stark contrast to some of the other candidates who she dubbed \u201cfake Trump supporters.\u201d In a recent X post, she shared:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThe 2 state reps who are resigning their seat to run for Gaetz seat are claiming to be MAGA and help with Trump\u2019s agenda. They are FAKE. Salzman brags about flipping Trump votes to DeSantis. Rudman claims DeSantis or die. These are NOT Trump advocates.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n

For the #FL1<\/a> voters who are having a hard time deciding between candidates, just be aware of the lies politicians try to sell.<\/p>\n

The 2 state reps who are resigning their seat to run for Gaetz seat are claiming to be MAGA and help with Trump\u2019s agenda. They are FAKE.<\/p>\n

\u2014 Jordan Karr (@JordanLkarr) November 20, 2024<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cJohn Frankman has always stood by Trump, unlike these two state reps,\u201d Karr pointed out. \u201cA vote for one of these two\u2014who were out there supporting [Gov. Ron] DeSantis for president in the last election\u2014is a wasted vote.\u201d<\/p>\n

Interestingly, Karr also points out that another potential candidate may not even be a resident of Florida\u2019s District 1. To that end, she notes Keithly Gross\u2019 law office<\/a> is in Panama City Beach, which falls into Florida\u2019s 2nd congressional district. Where he resides is unknown.<\/p>\n

If someone says they\u2019re supporting Trump\u2019s agenda, she encourages others to question: \u201cAre they only supporting his agenda because they want his support for the upcoming election?\u201d For her, \u201cJohn Frankman is one of the only true MAGA candidates.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Gateway Pundit also spoke to David Trombly, an Escambia County resident, who will also be voting for Frankman. Trombly retired from the Marine Corps as a Lieutenant Colonel in 2019 after 25 years of service. Since earlier this year, he has been linked to Frankman through their efforts to \u201ccounter government overreach and seek accountability over the [now-rescinded] DOD shot mandate. They are working together to see the reinstatement of the more than 8,000 military members kicked out of the Armed Forces for not taking the COVID-19 shot, while also advocating for the proper care of all the vaccine-injured military members.<\/p>\n

For Trombly, \u201cJohn Frankman demonstrated a moral courage as a junior officer that\u2019s needed not only in today\u2019s military but also in the halls of Congress.\u201d He argued, \u201cThe top levels of the United States military and the long-entrenched congressional and senatorial members are part of today\u2019s problem.\u201d<\/p>\n

And for this reason, he said, \u201cWe need young blood, someone like John Frankman that\u2019s proven himself as an Army Captain protecting the soldiers under his command when the Colonels and Generals of today\u2019s military folded protecting their careers and pensions rather than their people.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trombly explained, \u201cJohn Frankman demonstrated his mettle by standing against the military\u2019s senior leadership, saying no to an illegal order that forced a non-FDA-approved vaccine on its members, and the Army rewarded his leadership by pulling his deployment orders and preventing his career advancement, resulting in his career being cut short.\u201d For Trombly, \u201cTo stand against that, it takes courage, and it\u2019s the same kind of courage that\u2019s needed in Congress.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI have no doubt in my mind that John Frankman would support President Trump\u2019s agenda to reinstate these military members with back pay,\u201d he noted. \u201cAnd while there are many candidates that may be better-known in our community, that doesn\u2019t mean they are best suited or best qualified to represent our district at this time.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cJohn may have an uphill battle against name recognition as a newcomer, but he is a proven leader and eminently qualified to represent us in my opinion,\u201d Trombly argues. According to him, \u201cFlorida 1 voters need to vote for someone with a track record of moral courage and faith-driven uncompromising resolve because that\u2019s what this nation needs most right now.\u201d<\/p>\n
