Gaetz Out as More Damning Info Surfaces, Trump Cabinet Rocked by Scandal: A Closer Look

[@nevillehoward8736]

Pandora's birth certificate? Showing that she was underage when, y'know.

[@michaelccozens]

Gaetz and the rest of the GOP. When Johnson says releasing the report would open Pandora's box, he doesn't mean for Matt, whose dirty laundry would already be out. He means for every other Member with ethics violations (and let's not pretend Johnson would want to protect any Dem with ethic violations. He'd be screaming those from the peak of the Capitol dome), apparently rising to the level of "child sex trafficking" and exceeding it. I think we should know who the hell the people are with those violations, and why there are so many of them, and why Johnson thinks such predatory criminals should be protected, especially when they're abusing the public's resources for their horrific criminality. MTG also implied that there are a *ton* of GOP officials who have quietly paid-off SA victims. Again, seems the sort of thing the taxpayers employing these predators deserve to know about, especially if they're, again, committing their crimes on company time and the company's dime.

[@Jeanparker-e3n]

If it was a Democract, he would have release it

[@erikg8526]

Can we start calling CNN out on how sleazy it is to say "17 year old *woman* ," instead of "17 year old *girl* ?" Like. Come on guys. She was a child, not an adult, that's the whole point. When you say "woman" instead of "girl" it feels like aggressive attempt to minimize the reality of the situation...

[@BilliamOfYork]

It's also noteworthy that one cannot by definition witness Gaetz having sex with a 17 year old, what the witness saw was a rape.

[@jdxx59]

He was advised to withdraw…he didn’t do it off his own bat. He was allowed to withdraw to save face. Release that damn report now!

[@aquatoneman]

You got it right, jdxx...he was ADVISED - key word. You see, I believe this was a "red herring" from way back. These evil bastards have learned a lot: follow me here. Gaetz resigns from congress knowing that the ethics report WILL, in fact, MUST be released on a sitting congress person. So, he quits knowing Speaker Johnson will protect him and will not allow for that report to come out. Now, Trump nominates Gaetz for an impossible nomination. Gaetz is now a free man and a citizen.

[@ultraginge1990]

I am certain that senators said that they wouldn’t be able to keep the report secret unless he stepped down. It’s 100% self serving. The report is probably much worse than we are thinking to prevent make the republicans threaten him to step down.

[@Julia-lk8jn]

Agreed. After all, it's not as if the Party of Family Values has any shame left in it. Nor much Law and Order, for that matter.

[@Dbb277-2]

I think the whole thing was staged to get Gaetz off the hook. He couldn’t resign without a reason behind his resignation. Once resigned he was off the hook.

[@OriginalCreatorSama]

Think about it. All the sex offenders on that list and Gaetz is the only one they don't want a report released about? What did he do (or what is he doing now) that even scares alt-right republicans??? How Epstein IS he????

[@carminaburana9765]

The school district that I grew up in had an incredibly corrupt superintendent. He was always funneling money from the district into his wife's failed business. We didn't have textbooks. Every opportunity, he did his best to hire only the worst. The superintendent was responsible for hiring many teachers who had a history of drug use and sexually abusing students, because they would protect themselves by protecting the superintendent. If he got fired, they got fired. This feels the same.

[@ellekage4013]

Every time I see a trump statement from a rally, I again can't fathom how he was elected, beyond the fact this country isn't ready to elect a woman.

My mother was much stronger than my father, not in strength of body, but mind heart and soul. Stable steadfast and honest, things trump knows nothing of. And I now think the only reason he won both times, is because he ran against woman. AMERICA!!! Why aren't we ready?

bingo. this entire scheme was cooked up on that plane. "hey they're gonna release a REALLY REALLY BAD report about me and a bunch of other republicans who did the same stuff, but they can't release it if i'm not in congress anymore so i need a reason to resign from congress. tap me for AG, that'll sink the report, and after a week or so i'll withdraw from the AG nomination so they can't release the report AND it doesn't come out during the confirmation process. bonus: you can pick any vengeful MAGA monster AG you want after that and they'll look normal by comparison."

You know the country and its media has a problem when the explanations of current affairs on a late night comedy show is better and more truthful than every actual “news” show on tv.

[@GloriaSutherland-nk3ug]

Is it just me, or does Matt Gaetz look like Jack Nicholson in The Shining? You know, the one where he sticks his head through the door 😅

[@benoithudson7235]

I think so as well. But more the scene where he’s frozen in the maze.

[@traceykoontz2868]

Yeah he does I couldn't think of who it was but yep that's it. And the veep JP Mendez or whatever his name is looks like Chucky on the chunky side of ok fat.

[@stephenbuckley9940]

What time does Matt Gaetz go to bed? When the big hand touches the little hand.

[@audreywheeler9520]

My husband thinks this was the plan all along. Get him to resign from the House, knowing that he’ll never get confirmed. Then the ethics report wouldn’t come out, so it wouldn’t be a distraction/bad for the party. And they would keep their hands clean/keep the sycophant on board with MAGA.

The next quote, however, was not funny whatsoever. TFG claiming women won't suffer anxiety if he's elected is so hideously tone deaf, it inspires the response: "women _won't_ be anxious about _the country's_ problems because they'll suddenly be overwhelmed by the bone-deep panic directly caused by avoiding SA," given his propensity for indiscriminately groping any woman who is unfortunate enough to find herself with his arms' reach. What a disgusting person to elect to public office! He *bragged* about spying on teenage beauty contestants!
