Summary
Sen. Lindsey Graham defended Matt Gaetz, Trump’s nominee for attorney general, saying allegations of sexual misconduct should not disqualify him based on “a media report.”
Gaetz denies the claims, which include sexual misconduct with a high school student, drug use, and improper gifts, asserting they were part of an extortion plot.
While the FBI convicted someone for extortion related to the allegations, Gaetz was not charged.
Some Senate Republicans, like Sen. John Cornyn, are pressing for the release of a bipartisan House Ethics Committee report on the matter.
WTF does disqualify anyone for anything at this point? Let me guess… being a Democrat? Not bending over quickly enough when Trump walks up behind you?

LOL, this is the party that was demanding a long form birth certificate from Obama based on their crazy conspiracies.
Someone should absolutely be disqualified from being a DA when they can’t be a prime example of being a law-abiding citizen.
Lindsey Graham can always be counted on to suck up to whichever Republican is currently getting the most headlines.

But now that you mention it…
…a bipartisan House Ethics Committee report…
See, thing is, that’s not a media report.
the fact he’s a raging asshole who likes to pay underage girls for sex isn’t, either. it’s just straight facts.
You can’t argue facts with the party of feelings. They claim to be strong but they’re so terrified of losing their positions of power (socially, politically, etc.) that they have no choice but to deny the truth. They’ve turned the truth political. (The recent pathetic (predominantly social media) responses to the 60 minutes opening about his cabinet picks is an excellent example of this.)
I actually totally agree, here… Instead of relying on various media spin, we should be basing our opinions on the official report from the House Ethics Committee. Release the fuckin’ report.
Lmao. This fucking guy.
Gríma Wormtongue had more redeeming qualities than this toady. And he ate a fucking hobbit!
And he ate a fucking hobbit!
W-wait. Hold up. No way…
Edit: IMPLIED. Somehow I’m relieved. Given the character I’m not wholly sure why.
How about an FBI investigation with Venmo receipts?
Vocabulary word of the day: Quisling
Yes they abso-fucking-lutely should.
No, he’s right. Nobody should be disqualified for a media report. All that would do is lead to everybody throwing wild accusations against everybody else.
However, reports from FBI investigations and the House Ethics Committee absolutely should be grounds for disqualification.
