Former Florida Representative Matt Gaetz delivered a thunderous warning against potential U.S. military escalation with Iran during his Conservative Political Action Committee speech in Grapevine, Texas, reminding patriots that America First means putting our own security and prosperity before foreign entanglements.
"A ground invasion of Iran will make our country poorer and less safe," Gaetz declared to the CPAC crowd, channeling the America First foreign policy principles that helped propel President Trump back to the White House.
The former congressman's remarks come at a critical time as neoconservatives and Deep State operatives continue pushing for expanded military involvement in the Middle East—the same failed interventionist policies that drained American blood and treasure for decades while making defense contractors rich.
"We need to focus on securing our own border before we worry about Iran's," Gaetz emphasized, drawing applause from the conservative audience.
Gaetz's position aligns perfectly with President Trump's promise to end endless wars and focus on rebuilding America's strength at home. While the Trump-Vance administration maintains a strong national defense posture, they've consistently rejected the warmonger establishment's push for costly foreign adventures.
America First Foreign Policy Resonates
The Florida conservative's message resonates with millions of Americans who are tired of sending their tax dollars and their children to fight wars that don't make America safer. Under Trump's leadership, our nation achieved peace through strength—not through endless military interventions that enriched the military-industrial complex.
Patriots understand the difference between maintaining strong deterrence and falling into the trap of nation-building that plagued previous administrations. Iran knows Trump means business without America having to sacrifice another generation of young Americans in Middle Eastern conflicts.
As Gaetz reminded the CPAC audience, true conservative foreign policy means defending America's interests—not the interests of globalist warmongers who profit from perpetual conflict. Will Republicans continue embracing Trump's peace-through-strength approach, or will they let the establishment drag us into another costly foreign war?
