Rocha: I also don't think Gaetz doesn't get it because of a sex scandal. I think Gaetz specifically doesn't get this because he's an asshole to people and people in the Senate don’t like him.

How about Hegseth? He's a rapist? Noem? Gabbard? Why can't the media focus on all of these dangerous people? Why only Gaetz? Is it some one at a time rule? THEY ARE ALL DANGEROUS.
The only way democrats can win is to give Inmate 4547 ALL his cabinet picks🤷🏿♀️ he doesn't want Gaetz either, but he wants the SENATE to do his dirty work and his hands are clean, let him through, he'll be tied up in so many harassment cases Inmate 4547 will have to fire him, play their game and WIN!
Hey babe, wake up, pedos are not being automatically excluded from positions of power again.
Seriously, the fact that being an ass on a personal level to your colleagues is somehow more disqualifying than having sex with minors should tell you everything about the Republican Party.
Gaetz is a junk nomination, I get it. But shouldn’t we be more concerned with Tulsi G as Head of Intelligence? She was on a watch list FFS because of Russian ties. You think ANY of our allies (if we end up having any left) will ever trust this administration with information again?
He's also incredibly unqualified, and clearly only chosen as a loyalist to Trump. This is especially concerning when you realize that the DOJ has always acted secretly of the President, so a loyalist as it's leader is even more dangerous
So what he is saying is if Gaetz had Senate allies, his alleged crimes would be overlooked, and he’d still be confirmed. This kind of rationalization not only normalizes but also minimizes serious accusations. Once again, it’s the “rules for thee, not for me” mentality in action.
Sex is used here as an adjective describing the type scandal. It's not a potato scandal, or a sports scandal. Let's burn Matt Gaetz, for sure!! For rape and trafficking. And let's stick together!!!
It's very confusing, because the age of consent in FL is 17. So, it can actually be consensual, distasteful as that may sound. Where he broke the law was bringing girls across state lines... I'm not defending him, but we should be rigorous in our language.
I can't stop thinking about this. Is this true? I mean, definitionally. (Truly seeking clarification, not contradicting you). Isn't sex the physical act and agnostic on consent? Nonconsensual sex is rape but it's still sex, isn't it? Animals have sex but are (mostly) incapable of consent. 🤔
Chuck Rocha?! Ugh I once worked with him decades ago on a congressional campaign in PA & he provided poor advice to the candidate. Think he was with a labor union then? He wasn’t from our state nor region but a huge ‘ know it all’. Pelosi even stumped for us. We lost…
His style, kind of loud, know-it-all appeals to a sector of voters we need. A population of significant size and growing that just voted for a loud, know-it-all. I’m sure, like all consultants, his advice isn’t always correct, nor applicable everywhere, but his is effective in the right place.
UH...who's a bigger asshole than the guy who just won the damn election? Trump has the cookie jar now, to hand out treats to any members who are against Gaetz.Being an asshole, is NOT how Gaetz loses his position.
I think a lot of these announced appointments by Trump are for shock value while he keeps the really scary guys, like Mike Flynn, in his back pocket. When he gets tired of the Gaetz outrage he’ll say “OK, here’s my real pick. Final offer” and pull Ginni Thomas out of his ass
Rather a damning back-handed statement that Gaetz paying to have sex with minors and sex trafficking them isn’t what’s disqualify for the GOP in the Senate.
Then again, they did all they could to get a convicted rapist, who leads their party, re-elected as POTUS.
Gaetz isn't nominated to win, he's there to establish a position from which the Senate will say ok to the next dangerous wingnut AG nominee Trump proposes.

Even Ted Cruz has managed to escape this!

Matt Gaetz isn't just a sex predator. He's a pedophile. Of course MAGA loves him.
A 10 gallon rape apologist.
Women have every right to never trust men ever again.
#GaetzIsAnAsshole

So I guess I shouldn't be shocked.
The ethics report needs to be released, if for nothing else, to protect his accusers, protect the women who have bravely come out against him
Let's move on to Tulsi Hegseth, RFKjr
The bar can’t get any lower.
