After years of defending Trump, the former president’s aides now say there’s no help to come to Rep. Gaetz because he is “a grenade whose pin had already been pulled.” MSNBC’s Ari Melber is joined by The Nation’s Elie Mystal to discuss the new position Gaetz finds himself in and why the GOP has essentially abandoned him. (This interview is from MSNBC’s “The Beat with Ari Melber, a news show covering politics, law and culture airing nightly at 6pm ET on MSNBC. ). Aired on 04/06/2021.

'Embarrassing Train Wreck': GOP Silent Amid Matt Gaetz's Sex Probe | The Beat With Ari Melber
Got my popcorn. No one will be pardoning this criminal.
@Bob LymanYou mean how they silenced him?
It is a known fact Hunter Biden got paid 600k a year to work for a Ukranian company. Anyone offer you a job paying that much money, ever?
@L W Yeah, for all of two minutes!
@Oxy Moron 😂
@Drake Mustafa Are you bored?
@Zoya M Dumpf loves the poorly educated, so we are perfect for the cult-45.
barr needs to be charged , jailed and disbarred
So looking forward to hearing that DOJ is investigating Barr, Mnuchin, Elaine Chao, DeVos and all the other swamp creatures of 45th’s administration.
@EciliaE Nelson OMG, please get started on the Crime Boss’s RepubliKKKan Thugs!! So many to investigate, so many crimes. Barr LIED to America about the Muller Report. Trump LIED to America about the severity of the Coronavirus. To be a member of The GQP, you must be a HABITUAL LIAR.
trump literally found the lowest Barr, and he still couldnt get over it…
@Terry Fulds I always thought Rosanne was the lowest Barr.
No doubt.
“How to catch a Predator”
:Look up any GOP photos with men gathered around Trump.
@Troy Clayton Uh no, Al Franken got robbed of an investigation first and that should have happened before him stepping down. He had that legal right and what he did was mild and not even a crime compared to matt gaetz, no comparison.
@fallen alpha crappy republican governance caused poor infrastructure failure in texas. Not what we are talking about here though.
@Chris McDaniel Nope, nice try, but Republicans had nothing to do with it. Nice try though. Of course your brainwashed to think Democrats are better than the other side of the same coin.
@Chris McDaniel Fact is and my point, people move on to forget. That’s why we are not the greatest country. Our arrogance has us believe we are superior, so we don’t need to improve. Our media, which refuses to cover anything for more than a few weeks is a reason we forget.
@Troy Clayton Republicans don’t care about right or wrong. They just care about the Party
John Oliver about Matt Gaetz:
“Wow. Imagine being the one white man on Earth that Tucker Carlson won’t defend.”
@Chaninification 😜
🤣
@Mike Flanagan Didn’t they stop the investigation to McConnell’s wife because of Trump? I certainly gave been wondering what secrets Trump & Barr are keeping that have all these Republicans scrambling to stay on Trump’s good side.
Oh , . . . THAT Was LOW !! . . . .
@Jeff Petrie how long ago did you stop watching John Oliver?
Republican’s silence means that they know where’s the real Pizza Gaetz is at.
@Zoya M you have your tinfoil hat on backwards…,again.
@Harold Moore says a self loathing lib..
@frog mann liberal are all about love and inclusion while the right always has to have an enemy to fight.
@Harold Moore libs are self loathers with no morals.
@Zoya M Did your god know, greater than a billion years prior to the existence of the second being, that you would believe what you believe?
This guy is so tainted that not even Hannity wants to talk to him Fox won’t cover it OAN has lowered the curtains and Newsmax has done a Trump saying Mark Gaetz who. Couldn’t happen to a better guy.
That’s cuz hannity had his girlfriend there too! LOL
@Barbara willis lol probably telling people it was a niece visiting for the holidays.
Both of these guys are smart and insightful af.
Ari is the man.
Lol. No they’re not
@James I would agree with you, but then we’d both be wrong. 🤷🏽
That’s how it goes Matty boy. You pledged you undying loyalty and YOU get nothing.
@Dbo83 What’s what freeloader?
@Zoya M Is that all you have ?
@Dbo83 Better than your zero.
Trump: Matt who, I only met him once 🤣😂
@Hugh G Rection hey, that’s my line.
How could Ari keep a straight face when this guy said, “You can’t get the Trump protection unless you actually marry into the family.” I spit out my coffee!
gaetz can still marry don jr. right?
@Howie Scott Yes, but I don’t think either of them is interested. May be you can go find someone and marry.
What about the exes….do their NDAs count?
@jujulovebean65 Now that would be some unfortunate looking kids.
@jujulovebean65 And how old was Tiffany when he did that? Makes you wonder and it’s time to question everything this man has done.
Even members of the family can be cast aside.
Now we know why he was trying so hard to get in good w/Tiffany Drumpf
The only one who can’t be tossed aside is Ivanka….’cos daddy wants what daddy wants.😳
@Colin Robinson As bad as that sounds, it’s possibly true. Ugh in my disgust.
DoJ Investigations into Matt Gaetz’s friend Joel Greenberg started last year under Bill Barr!!!
He put that on that back burner when he discovered Gates was involved supposedly
Epsteins Black book 😠 Enough Said😠
@Nancy Ross A str8-Up Pisher in comparison. All ‘steins’ play hard-ball chicky baby. Weinstein, Einstein, Morenstein. NO PRISONERS!!!!
@George Morenstein careful that can be considered anti-Semitic
@Damien Thomas Sue me.
@George Morenstein wait what? No , I don’t care I’m merely saying something that gets thrown around liberally
@Damien Thomas Like humour? *disclaimer: All ‘steins’ aren’t corrupt.
Ari is always hilarious with his references, that word play is fun to watch ☺
Boy, my stomach has been really upset today. I think I’ll go drop a mean Gaetz
Whoa… still spewing stuff like that at age nine or thereabouts…. sad.
@Catania Momma Italia you’re one of those huh? Who hurt you?🧸
Make sure to wipe your trump good.
But he won’t flush🤣
Flush four times….It’s a long way to the Gaetz residents.
Matt Gaetz broke the one rule the GOP has.. don’t get caught.
There’s that other rule, be a member of the Trump family.
Well… gaetz spread the pictures of naked women on the floor of gop, trying to
sale these women on his circle friends… lol
@Esther Piry ouch…he very well may have..we just don’t know about it…yet
But now it’s don’t resign. I hope they expell him from government.
@Chris McDaniel I hope so.
Remember, Gaetz is the guy who broke into the meeting of a committee that he *belonged to.*
Republicans can keep this clown 🤡
Matt Gaetz would not want to serve on a committee which would have someone like him as a member. [Thanks, Groucho]
Stupid is as stupid does. He is only good at conspiracies and obstructionist tactics. Oh, and bragging about sexual conquests and sharing nude photos with other Senators while supposedly “working.”
Remember when they arrested Rep. Park Cannon for knocking on Gov Brian Kemp’s door? And they say there is no such thing as white privilege
@Lynda Koers don’t forget Josh hawley
Matt did send signals to Tiffany Trump only a few months ago about how wonderful she was. I didn’t know he was seeking a blanket pardon from t rump. These people are evil.
@Zoya M ok correction. making positive comments on tiffany. gee that’s even harder. better now?
@Rere Simone What’s eating you about Tiffany? Is it because she has money? Then blame your parents for leaving you poor
You are confused. Get your head fixed.
@Zoya M Can you stop? Insult someone else for a while. Your confused, because you are a twit. Feel better now?
@Rere Simone Tiffany Trump just became Engaged about 2 weeks ago
Gaetz has been giving off creepasaurus vibes forever. Makes it hard not to strongly suspect him of this stuff..😬
In your delusional mind.
Ugh he has , and his good friend GYM Jordan 🤢
@Veronica Franks He has what? Born white? Is that the crime?
@Zoya M Hi Karen.
You seem particularly triggered today. Is it all the losing?
His adopted son will come forward with stories of …. 👀 🙈🙉🙊 repubs don’t want to 👂 it little to late
I love how they are starting to refer this paint chip eater as “Florida Seminole, Matt Gaetz.”
