That, ladies and gentlemen, is known as stepping in your own shit.

[daveowens]

Matt is not used to dealing with adults.

[DT]

That was just flat out amazing. These republicans need to just give up on that so called high horse they put themselves on. From a Chinese newspaper my god!!

[johnlouis]

When are these folks going to be called out for being Treasonous and then being charged appropriately.

[billybeads]

How the hell did Gaetz qualify as a lawyer or even a politician

[jakemoeller]

It's unnerving to know that there are folks like Gaetz who are making national policy.

[ricosuave]

You people that voted in this guy must be proud that he represents you. 🙄

[wswift]

Just look at Gaetz's face, you can tell he has not done his homework and has BS all over!

[luisjayson]

This is what happens when someone is looking for a gotcha moment rather than doing the research yourself to point and direct your line of questioning

[pointpleasant]

Dr. Kahl is hilarious!! I love how he handled Dunderhead Gaetz! 😂😅😊💪🏽

[colinmoore]

Once again Matt Gaetz enters a battle of wits whilst completely unarmed!

[JerseyPB]

Putin thanks Comrade Matt Gaetz for his excellent propaganda / conspiracy theories.

[junheceta]

Dr. Kahl: "[Are you quoting] the Global Times from China???"

Gaetz's facial expression as he realizes he just submitted Chinese propaganda as evidence: "OH SHIT."

Gaetz could not end that line of inquiry fast enough. 😆

[birdiejones]

I never get tired of this no matter where I seen it😂😂😂

[daveyt]

I'm so glad there's people like Dr. Colin Kahl, Mr. Gaetz didn't even bother to read where that citation was from - what an embarrassment, and proof a person can be in Congress and still be an utter failure in life.

[seandonahue]

Being 58 years old and never failing to be surprised, how dumb we are in who we choose to lead us is stupifying!

[albertbrammer]

Gaetz is that kid who thinks googling as he has breakfast and printing a few notes will outsmart his teacher as having done his homework.
Who votes for these planks?

[micah]

Got caught talking BS. At least he let it go instead of being even more of a Dunce!

[mimcduffee]

I love how he blatantly tried to get dude to reveal classified intel for Putin and Xi.

[redroc]

This is what happens when you have more authority than brains.
