Former Congressman Matt Gaetz criticized "Saturday Night Live" after comedian Martin Short made a joke about him during his monologue. Short referenced Gaetz in a quip about being late for an Uber, which Gaetz found insulting. Gaetz responded on social media, defending Uber drivers and expressing disappointment with the show's humor. He stated that working people deserve respect and suggested that "SNL" comedians are out of touch. This incident adds to Gaetz's history of being a target for jokes on the show, including past sketches that referenced allegations against him. A House ethics committee report is expected to be released soon regarding these allegations.
