America, your descent into madness is fascinating.

[ArthurC.Stewart]

TAXPAYER HERE. Im the Employer of the House of Representatives. I demand a COPY of the Report. I pay these men, women.

[johndowner]

Disgusting how Americans reward such men with elected office including the Presidency.😢

[Marilu-wj]

If he’s innocent, just release the report .

[Dont.Call.Me.Tall.]

It's like if Weinstein was president and he nominated P. Diddy to be AG, and Bill Cosby to run the military. 🤦‍♂️

[JH-njup]

Gaetz is almost as revolting to listen to as Trump.

[debrawhite]

He's, guilty, allegedly. He stepped down from his position that he just got re-elected to, to keep the report from being made public.

[JH-njup]

Thank you MSNBC for bringing us truth.

[sharonerenwert]

He is going to get off, just like all the other corrupt politicians

[cartoonraccoon]

Yeah... but let's not pretend this matters. Even if there were absolute proof of 'all the rapin's', it would just cement him as "one of the good ones" to the deplorables.

[anvba]

No one cares who the victim is, just release the report, people want to know since he wants to be AG of the US!

[treblelatrice]

Stop trying to hide the testimony. If you try to hide it or you don't want to know about it because it will hurt the party, You are complicit and you condone what is in the report. 🤷🏾‍♀️

[glasperlinspiel]

Focusing on this week’s circus, ignoring the decades-long demolition derby financed by oligarchs. Context, context, context

[jeffreyliddicoat]

matt gatez is the PERFECT AG for trump ... who better to rule ghislan maxwells conviction was illegal, release her and pay millions in compensation

[Scottus-ql]

Apart from craven submission to Trump, the criteria for these cabinet selections is who is best qualified to make a mockery of the position and cause maximum chaos and disruption.

[ManinaHarris]

No way did any of these women get paid NEARLY enough to have to deal with all this.

[jeffreyliddicoat]

nor will gatez have any qualms about deputizing the proud boys to round up illegal immigrants or political opponents like kevin mccarthy

[StarsAndAngels]

In all honesty the era of character matters is over he still could be appointed nothing matters

[kathleentorres]

Cornyn backtracking on wanting to see the report isn't surprising and we should have expected it. He clearly got a call saying push Matt through. These people not wanting to see the report for themselves is willful ignorance. They'd rather put these young women through the mill, over anything else. That's fun for them. And the patriarchy continues.

[TheFlyrodder]

Why not just hire the Legion of Doom for his cabinets?
