“Instead of circling the wagons and reflexively declaring “fake news” about the investigation, first reported by The New York Times and confirmed by NBC News, Republican leaders and opinion-makers are mostly staying quiet or letting Gaetz, a strong ally of former President Donald Trump, flap in the breeze.
During an interview Tuesday night in which the congressman denied any relationship with a 17-year-old woman, Fox News host Tucker Carlson wore an incredulous expression.”
Rep. Matt Gaetz’s scandal broke too late for a President Trump to be able to step in save the day. He probably thought the Trump good times were going to last forever and was certainly crestfallen after Trump decisively lost the election. Rep.
