Rep. Ted Lieu: Gaetz Should ‘Leave Voluntarily Or Be Removed’ From Judiciary Cmte | The Last Word
He’s flailing, trying to throw everything he can at the wall to see what will stick. I’m not sure we have seen him quite this nervous before…
@t w There’s no need for the quotation marks. He strongly believes in family values. How you feel about that isn’t relevant.
@Trent Timoy Yes, but you typed “endanger” instead of the correct, “in danger”.
@Tamila Shultz Hahaha. My bad. Thx for the correction.
@Trent Timoy You’re welcome :). Be safe.
@Tamila Shultz 👍👍
Shouldn’t the crazed Qtip cult be enraged that Matt is boning children ?
@Truth Seeker shut up thug .
QTip says: that my kind of guy!!!
Did he buy her pizza 🍕?!?
@DH Brown Republicans are the very definition of projection and hypocrisy.
@Truth Seeker No, you.
There. I did what you did but with less words.
No-one deserves to be investigated more than those who lie about everything under the sun.
@ROOKTABULA Are you aware that all of the comrades in the USA are Democrats? Everyone in the USA that has ever collaborated with the Russians has been a Democrat. How do you not know that? I learned that when I was in grade school.
Stay tuned soon we hear Matt Geatz did exactly what Jeffrey Epstein do.
Satan reaps what He sow!!!
@y e s That has never been true. The Republican Party was founded on freedom, equality for all, the rule of law, a free market economy, lower taxes, a strong military, war when necessary, and stopping the Democrats. That’s the exact opposite of what Satan wants.
@y e s They all do what exactly? You didn’t include any reference to what you’re talking about. 🙂
@Happy Dance Gaetz and Epstein didn’t know each other. Try again. Do you not believe in due process?
The creepy creep will resign when the pictures of him and under age girls are made public.. I’ll bet my house on it.
@Al Tischler
He is on CNN reporting facts Monday thru Friday.
Try and keep up.
@Ron Mantei you said cnn and facts
Thats an oxymoron
@Al Tischler
I like them, I find them truthful and very accurate.
Unlike yourself a garbage spewing Maga loser.
Have a super day. 🙂
Don’t bet your house on it. These people have a way of getting away with everything.
@Al Tischler another racist gop nazi post
He “strongly denied it” as Trump would have said so it must be true lol
@Alan Childs like daddy did to Ivanka.
@gary duran you are just plain sick.. seek help
@Emil Aslan I watch the Truth Talker Sharpton on MSNBC as you most likely do. I don’t watch FOX.
@Walt Likker I don’t watch him and rarely watch MSNBC.
@Emil Aslan He is innocent until and unless he is proven to be guilty. The innocent verdict is only vanishing if you are opposed to the rule of law and due process. Being accused of something will always remain completely and utterly irrelevant.
If he’s guilty I hope his father will not be able to bail him out like he did when he drove drunk and refused an alcohol test.
Matt gaetz and tucker Carlson are swingers ha
@Trumptreason 4gitmo they probably rim each other.
Naa, Dad can’t touch this one. If it comes out true, it’s a wrap for him, lol
Yeah his GOOSE IS COOKED!!! LOL 😆. 😆 🤣
This should be the final straw for his father. He’s bailed his son out more than once. I hope he does tell him “I’m not helping you with this case.”
Hahahahaha.
Honestly, he’s exactly this kind of person: rules, laws and ethics are for everyone else, not him.
Always a hypocrite; he has no reason to hold any job/position having to do with ethics.
In other words, a perfect Republican politician.
🇺🇸💙Thank you very much Lawrence O’Donnell 💙🇺🇸
Yes, Lawrence, as always…great reporting!!! Senator Lieu….awesome guest!
For what? Doing his “job?”
This made my day just to hear he’s on his way out. The Evil he spread will be no more in our capital
@Mister Roger you’re just being sidetracked from all 6 forensic audits on the fraudulent election as well as the boarder crisis. Democrats never waste a crisis. If they ain’t got one. They make one up. Im all about pedophiles being taken out. But, it’s clearly an extortion plot foiled by the new York times. Let’s see the wire tap his dad wore to gain evidence and incriminate the ex DOJ employee then. After all, that’s the investigation they speak of except they changed the narrative to fit their story rather than the truth. And ysll eat it up
u mean truth creepy sleepy I knows yoos guys don’t wike da truff
Are we going to have to bark Congress from using airplanes at this point?
Looks like cawthorn went down the same yellow brick road.
@Joshua Richart Something is not adding up. Based on the timeline provided by Rep Gaetz father the allege extortion attempt occurred more than 6 months AFTER the FBI begun its investigation into Rep Gaetz allege indiscretions with a minor. Normally extortion would happen the other way around – a threat then an investigation. Plus former AG Barr would never allow a investigation against any loyalist unless there something there. BTW in 2017, Gaetz was the only member of Congress to vote against an anti-human trafficking bill which also doesn’t look good in light of recent events. I do have a lot of questions but I really would like to see the lawyer who rep Gaetz accused, Rep Gaetz and the FBI wire so we can see who is lying. However don’t too excited because based on the timeline the allege inappropriate relations will have to run its course since there is no evidence to tie these incidents together.
They’re gonna love his new Joker face in prison.
@DrumWild matt geatz is crossed eyed from lying to much
Cause he’s got a pretty mouth!!, just Jon crybaby hypocrite phuck Voight
Watever 🤣🤣
And that thick, wavy hair is going to come in handy. As it were…
@Trumptreason 4gitmo too
It’s a act of self preservation.. No more DUI’S. No more bar pickups. Now he’s hanging around Dairy Queen.
He only went with a 17 year old because all the 12 year olds were in school.
@R.E. Tired Lol…Good one!
@R.E. Tired
Well played!
Good one!!!🤣😂🤣😂
Geatz cant get laid unless its forced
If there was true equality in justice then he should be arrested and jailed like any other person.
Along with entire Democrat Party Plague!
FBI refuses to comment because the investigation in ongoing. Now that T***po’s goons are out of the DOJ they’re not gonna spill the beans and taint the jury pool. If/when they have enough evidence to present the Grand Jury, he’ll be indicted and arrested.
We’re still innocent in this country until proven guilty. If he’s guilty, he’s going to prison and if he goes to prison I hope “bubba” sells his behind for a pack of Camels.
@Harvey Hansen no think you meant the trumpturd GOP
Like comey, clintons, mccabe, page and brennan and clapper and strohk… true criminals.
Put him in the same jail cell as Epstein was in.
@DONeirLEMON If you watch the video of how his friend got elected and then hired all his wedding party to be on the government payroll, you will understand the corruption.
@Hankakah i saw it. joel greenberg. total vermin human being.
Trump, Don jr and Gaetz are the three crooks that l wanna see dragged away in shackles.
@what the falk! ex presidents dont go to jail. know too much.
How about waiting until all the facts are out before wishing death on someone.
This is so delicious it has to be fattening.
Thats a nice zinger
😆😆😆
Lol!
🤣😂🤣😂
😅🤣😂
‘Matt Gaetz trafficked minors’
The story you suspected all along was behind that smarmy, callous grin.
@tigress and the u-fraidees I remember that… AND thought WTF!
There’s a photo published of Gaetz, Joel Greenberg and Roger Stone together… now that made my skin crawl!!!
@alison moore I saw it AND you are so wright! My lip curled
Evil and gross.
Basically an adaptation of the “mY fAtHeR’s RiCh” defense that has gotten him out of everything his entire life.
By your own logic, Hunter Biden lives rent-free in your head@Cold Beer
This ain’t a dui this time.
@Cold Beer <--- yet another boring immature Qtard.
Not this time!
Get this worthless creep.
@Cold Beer Again with that noting burger? It seem like the only argument this bizarre new right has is: “I know you are nut what am I?” with no supporting facts
He will never resign. These people have no shame, honor, or desire to do good.
Except it’s not up to him.
@John Smith he does have the choice to resign… Isn’t that what al Franklin did from a “just joking” photo… Choices do have consequences
@jlo Yeah, shows right there the difference between Dems and Rs.
Who else just wants to actually see him in cuffs and the orange onezie ?
@Siddy Sid You’re a joke. LOL LOL LOL
@Siddy Sid Ahahahahahahaha you are the dumbest!
Biden has like 14 his sons laptop wit lil Chinese girls👁👁👁
@RealityCheckNow 2020 👁👁
only after Joey the Crook !
The look on Tucker Carlson’s face as Gaetz attempts to solidify an alibi, is priceless. 🤣🤣🤣🤦♀️
@dont-want-no-wrench 😂😂😂😂😂
😅😅😅👍
Anything like the look on your face when Trump won in 2.016
John Oliver said it best, Tucker looks like a thirteenth-century farmer learning about Bitcoin
@Shane Mathews 😂😂😂
Ted Lieu looks so happy to be breaking this news—I love it.
