Alan Ritchson criticizes classmate Matt Gaetz amid misconduct allegations

In a candid interview with GQ, Alan Ritchson, the star of Amazon's 'Reacher', expressed his strong disapproval of former classmate Matt Gaetz, calling him 'not a good dude' and labeling him as his 'adversary'. Ritchson criticized the panhandle of Florida for continuing to elect Gaetz despite his controversial past, which includes allegations of sexual misconduct and drug use that led to his resignation from Congress. Ritchson, who considered entering politics himself, remarked on the challenges of remaining authentic in the political sphere, citing figures like Bernie Sanders as examples of those who stay true to their principles yet struggle to effect change. Gaetz resigned after his nomination for Attorney General under Trump was overshadowed by an ethics investigation into his conduct. Despite the serious allegations against him, Gaetz has maintained his innocence. Ritchson's comments come as 'Reacher' prepares for its third season premiere on Amazon Prime Video.
