Gaetz, on the ropes, finds few friends in GOP
(Poor baby - I am posting here because I know he'll find sympathy amongst our Trumpsters.)
In four years on Capitol Hill, Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) has experienced a meteoric rise to national prominence — one fueled by a close alliance with former President Trump, a penchant for political theatrics and a no-apologies brand of conservatism that’s made him a darling of the right-wing cable outlets.
Yet this week, facing a federal investigation into allegations of a sexual relationship with an underage girl, Gaetz is finding himself in an unusual spot: on the ropes and virtually alone.
Few of Gaetz’s GOP colleagues are coming to the defense of the third-term Floridian following a New York Times report that the Department of Justice (DOJ) is investigating allegations of sexual misconduct with — and interstate trafficking of — a minor roughly two years ago. And a number of Republicans, while warning against jumping to premature conclusions about Gaetz’s conduct, also suggested they wouldn’t miss him if he were gone.

There's some guy named Matt Gertz who apparently is getting a lot of harassment from people thinking he's Matt Gaetz...

Having a name similar to Matt Gaetz is rough when he's implicated in a child abuse scandal
Because their names are spelled similar, Twitter keep confusing Media Matters for America senior fellow Matt Gertz for Matt Gaetz.

His interview with Tucker seemed pretty disjointed particularly for a lawyer....by plan?
