Hallie Jackson To Gaetz: ‘Why Do You Think The Rules Do Not Apply To You?’ | Hallie Jackson | MSNBC
Gaetz just wants to twist the rules whenever it’s convenient, just like communist traitor trump!
it’s the CONservative way…
Gaetz is truly a man who will deflect and cry about facts. The reason they don’t allow him in is because he cause chaos in the hearings. Look in the past at how he conducts himself. It’s like a child at Walmart that can’t have a toy.
Ihre with you, except Trump is anything BUT a communist.
Again, since when is it congress’ job to stop at nothing to protect the President? Smdh
Gaetz embarrasses himself every time he speaks. He ducks, dodges, diverts, and lies.
@TJ Roelsma If they were made to live under the same laws and policy positions they impose on us, things would change real fast. But, they keep being rewarded for not doing their jobs by being re-elected and stuffing their pockets, so there is no impetus to change. WE have to change it!
well, he was only twenty when he got his dui where he was four times the legal limit and daddy got him off…. you see, karma eventually will catch up with every scum bag like that, he will be dealed with sooner than later, that I feel in my bones. Florida, you should be so embarrassed…..
He’s a typical rich-by-birth white middle-aged alcoholic sociopath.
OccasionalGamer he does he is so dumb lol he’s nose is so brown lol
@Laurette LaLiberte I agree, but thus far the people that have presented themselves to the voters to be “better” often are even worse. Look at Trump in the US, Johnson in the UK etc.
This guy is such a whiner.
This guy is so full of crap is impossible to believe he’s serious.
@Dicky Jones Storming the SCIF was traitorous behavior that only a scumbucket would do or appreciate.
Looks like Pennywise
@Chris Colquitt First, Trump isn’t going down as you put it. There has to be a provable crime, of which there is none. This is why Schitt is holding these secret meetings to craft a workable lie to present to the American people to justify his coup attempt. He will fail miserably because the American people are not stupid. We see what he is doing. Gaetz is exactly right. These proceedings must be open to the public and these witnesses need to be in public to make their accusations and show their proof. Schitt can’t just make stuff up and leak only what he wants to leak public. That is obstruction of justice at it’s worst.
“Did she just identify me by my race and gender?” 🙄 $100 says he says the n-word
Dicky Jones Your mom/aunt must be proud of you. 😁
@Dicky Jones blaccks are demorcrats ur point ks?
@Dicky Jones and concentration camps for Republicans !! 😶
He probably sings “slave catcher” songs in the shower!📣📣🎵🎵🎵This to get himself amped up for the days hyjenks!
when you say you’re “deeply offended” at being identified as a white man, we know we are dealing with a misogynistic racist.
This criminal in a suite should not get any air time period.
How do you know a Republican is lying….?
Anthony Browne I disagree. There are no number of classes that would improve or illuminate the minds of people like these Republicans. Children’s safety should come first.
Why do I feel like I’m watching a neo-Nazi when I look at / listen to him?
@Yeye A You could be right. I would at least give them 1 chance. If we could save 1 family, it would be worth it.

“It begs the question: What are they hiding?”
I dunno, fuckwit, maybe you could ask any of 47 of your party colleagues, who I’m sure would be happy to tell you anything Trump might want to know.
What are the Democrats so afraid of? Good question dummy..
The entire GOP can’t even answer a direct question, very disgusting
Jesse James oh well thank you for straightening everything out. You win, lol
Whats your disgusting is that they are poison to the American people. And some do believe them. Education in the USA has failed us.
They are getting ready for their last words before the hangman pulls the pin !!
@Richard Hunt Agree.
@Jesse James If that is honestly what you saw unfolding, it is no wonder Trump and the boys are so successful at taking you breathtakingly ignorant followers for all you are worth…= 0. You better hang tighter onto your wallet and dignity, buddy!
Gaetz is the definition of alternate facts. Why interview him
Pathetic sellouts, the world is “deeply offended” by this never ending circus
Hey frat boy – a “deposition” isn’t a character witness, and there isn’t any “cross examination” – it’s a witness statement,. I am not a lawyer and I know this. #voteHimOut
Janelle S that’s why you are not an attorney.
You know wrong. Cross-examinations are sometimes required in depositions to prevent violation of 6th amendment rights. The problem with Gaetz’s complaints is more that he’s assuming both that he should get the transcripts despite being neither Trump’s lawyer nor an active jury member and that the questions that are most relevant wouldn’t be asked again during an impeachment trial. Also, the right to cross-examination is only actually required in criminal cases, which I don’t think includes impeachment.
@Stanley Johnson Is there anything wrong with someone not being an attorney but knows something about being one? Isn’t it just like being a United States president?
This drunk driving rich boy whines and lies just like his orange painted idol.
@Peter Roberts so. Did he pay the fine?
@Hot Rod …no not every one drinks, and not everyone has driven drunk.
@Nat Jac I’m sure
This guy annoys me. Like a spoiled little boy who thinks he’s smart and isn’t. But he’s never had his stupidity made clear to him.
He got a Lexus instead of a Mercedes for his 16 birthday. He’s a mad man since then. Of course I made that just up but it’s possible.
@feixbix or he’s mad because his mommy refuses to breastfeed him.
His voice makes my ears hurt.
#REALLIFEPCPRINCIPAL
Tactic: Deflect everything, answer nothing.
This guy is a joke .. “did she really call me a white man ☹️” 🙄🙄
As soon as he started talking, he should have shut up.
Hallie Jackson, Call him as he is. A coward that chooses not to answer
“I was deeply offended by that.”
As Mulvaney says…. Get over it.
Seeing this white man being “deeply offended” by what a white woman said is ummm… hilarious. The ignorance and sensitivity of this man is mind blowing
