Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., brushed off videos of him helping Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis prepare for a debate during his 2018 campaign, which ABC News leaked on Sunday, with a joke about the weight both men have lost.

When one user pointed out how much weight Gaetz had lost since 2018, noting that he "looks like a different person," the Florida Republican responded by saying DeSantis also lost weight.

"We used to stop at Wawa way too much on that 2018 campaign," Gaetz wrote on Twitter. "More veggies these days!"

The joke came amid some backlash Gaetz is receiving from DeSantis’ supporters and those of former President Donald Trump.

The videos show DeSantis and Gaetz discussing how to communicate the governor’s differences with then-President Trump without angering his supporters.

Gaetz, a former adviser of DeSantis, has emerged as a public ally of Trump and has endorsed him for president.
