'You got to be a party person'.

"If Liz Cheney could even find Wyoming on a map and went there, she would find a lot of very angry cowboys who are not happy," Gaetz said during his speech, accusing her of being an establishment figure who doesn't get outside of Washington enough.

"If you're going to be a party person, you got to be a party person.

Some of their most fiery attacks were reserved for those fellow Republicans who aren't unfailingly loyal to Trump.

"This is Donald Trump's party, and I'm a Donald Trump Republican.".

"Trump is the leader of the Republican Party!" Greene added, to cheers.

For Gaetz and Greene, a part of being Trump Republicans is adopting Trump's rhetorical strategies.

A lot like Trump, they talked a lot about their perceived enemies.

And also like Trump, they gave a sense that being more embattled only makes them more defiant.

"I already know how CNN is going to report it: 'Matt Gaetz has wild party surrounded by beautiful women in The Villages,' so just get ready for it," he said.

After leaked language about launching that caucus invoked white nationalism, many Republicans distanced themselves from it, and Greene decided not to launch it.

People at an America First rally in the Villages are likely to be among the most hardcore Trump supporters in an already Republican area.
