I don't understand the intention. So we should just react instead of waiting for the investigation to conclude to provide us with the facts to then come to a decision?

[jonnybaze]

So what you are saying that being a public official and not weighing in on a potential criminal cases is bad? Ummm huh. That’s a great thing when Americans are presumed innocent unless proven guilty.

[sheriwages]

Maybe they are waiting for some actual facts instead of basing their reaction off of accusations. Now that would be a novel concept.

[Foxtucky]

Como said he isn't going anywhere after multiple accusers and thousands of nursing home deaths

[larrybooth]

In a word as an American. WE ARE SO FED UP WITH THE CRIMES BEING PERPETRATED AGAINST WE THE PEOPLE. IF I SAY MORE ABOUT HOW WE FEEL. THE FEDS ARE SURE TO COME

[ericschryver]

So what's up? Has he been charged with anything?

[drunkenpelositreasonousbid]

Accusations need to be proven. Just one of many witch hunts

[mars]

They don't need to gossip about him like a bunch of old ladies.

[truthinesssss]

As long as we’re innocent until proven guilty, is it not wise to withhold judgement?

[DrumWild]

"I have no thoughts" sums up Republicans.

[richardreese]

Why should they respond to
Anything that starts with “sources says”

[dtproductions]

Accusations always sound good. Till no one shows up to cry and make a scene.

[kmj]

Why comment until more TRUTH is known

[kidthump]

Come on Fla. you can do better than this bottom feeder

[AndySaenz]

Until Tara Reade gets her due process that she deserves, I don’t want to hear about these sexual assault allegations.

[drumpftodd]

Republicans say that he throws the best parties and has some really nice girls come over.

[lw]

In about a week and a half we will know if they charge this clown. Greenberg will name names by then.

[SP-dosm]

Florida is saying great things about Matt Gaetz. We like Matt Gaetz here in Florida.
If you want to point finger, point at Joe Biden.

[NielsSHansen]

Wow, so innocent until proven guilty in a court of law is just not supposed to be something in the US?

[autojohn-puvf]

What, are they giving Matt Gaetz a Kavanaughing? this s*** is getting old!!!
