Rep. Matt Gaetz, facing a major scandal, is taking a very Trumpian route in his response. But while Gaetz has long been a loyal soldier for the 45th president, Trump has stayed silent since news of the Gaetz controversy broke. We discuss with Kimberly Atkins and A.B. Stoddard. Aired on 04/06/2021.

Is Matt Gaetz Expecting A Loyal Trump To Stick Up For Him? | The 11th Hour | MSNBC
Gladiators famously didn’t fight in wars, they fought for entertainment. Accidental truth there?
And to that, Boehner’s book states that the GOP is now more interested in performance theatre, not policy. So a gladiator is completely in keeping….
@Gnirol Namlerf Thanks for the spelling catch – I fixed it!
@Tainted Strike p0
I guess Gaetz didn’t realize what gladiators actually did
Can you imagine looking over to one of your comrades in arms and seeing that it is Matt Gaetz? Rifle flat on the ground, probably primping his hair.
That loyalty is a one way street
“Matt, meet the underside of my bus!”
I think they all think that somehow it will be different for them, until they find out, that no, it won’t.
*PIZZA-GAETZ*
Noice!
Pizza Gaetz! Now comes with a free side of Marjorie-Traitor Greens~!
Sweet and sickening all at the same time
I don’t advocate violence, but the Right claimed there were children being trafficked in that pizza place, regardless that it had no basement… But Gaetz, is presumably an actual person with real evidence pointing straight at him… *Where are the “save the children” protesters NOW???*
@Max Covfefe seemed more like a sick twisted fantasy they got off on to me
Trump will never stick up for anyone unless he receives some sort of benefit
@Ken Albertsen That’s so-ooo unfair … I’m sure Melania married him just for love.
Bill Barr is not returning trump’s calls, and he doesn’t know what to do! I’d bet real MONEY that’s what’s going on! 🤣
@Mr B. : 🤣😂😆😂🤣😆😂🤣😆😂🤣😆😂🤣 . . . Hahhhhh . . . 😋 . . . 🤣😂😆😂🤣😆😂🤣😆😂🤣😆 👍
@george howe Well, not speaking up is a benefit to Donald Trump, isn’t it? Can you imagine what Putin has on him. There must be mountains and mountains of financial info.
@Ash Roskell Bill Barr has done the greatest disappearing act since David Copperfield. Mike Pence emulating him. I wonder why.
*How do you spell 10 years in federal prison?*
*G-A-E-T-Z*
Politicians and their family do not go to prison just look at Hillary Clinton and Hunter Biden. Talk about privilege.
@Truth Seeker sure crybaby.. whatever you say 🙄
That is also another way that you spell Sleaze.
@AllNiteLemonade – No worries. We know who the crybaby really is.😢
@Jehovah Witness lol just like you know who your real savior is .
Trump: “I hardly know the guy.”
Newt Tella: Absolutely. Adding: “I get my picture taken with lots of people.”
Trump is totally gonna throw him under the bus just like he does to everyone else
@Belly Dancer Em Exactly. I have no idea why ANYONE is still sticking with Trump. It never ends well for Trump loyalists.
There were good people on both sides.
@Gnirol Namlerf That will be the Orange idiots’ response for sure!
Matt Gaetz thinks being a troll is being a gladiator. If you think Matt Gaetz is fighting for you then you live in the swamp that this creature calls home
Master projectors. They call everything else that they hate or dislike everything that they in truth are. Mr Swamp thing being square one.
“Are you not entertained?!” . . . Well, as a matter of fact, Matty boy, I’m kinda’ lovin’ it! 🤣
Exactly
Gaetz also doesn’t know much about Ancient Rome
if anyone else w/ a regular job had such a public scandal, they wouldn’t have a job anymore, rofl
idk how the gov doesn’t at least cut his pay, he’s clearly not working for the people
Doesn’t Swallwell still have his job?
@Jkrogs18 your mom does😂😂😂🤔
I’d love to know just one worthwhile thing Gaetz has done for his constituents in the last 4 years.
Name one thing ANY of them have done for the people. Exactly 0. None of them work for us. They work for the elite, they don’t answer to us.
@A – He still has a job because he Swallow’s Well.
If a reporter wants to go viral, they should ask Gaetz why he thinks trump hasn’t come out in his defense
GOOD ONE!!!!!👏👏👏 RIGHT!!!
Mask up kid…
He’ll probably say he received a “lovely letter” of support from Trump. The most perfect letter ever written.
Or ask about bill bar. That’ll be a great video
The sinking ship never saved a rat. Water rising……
Gaetz is just late bloomer. Finally at the age of 39, he’s got that prom date he’s been waiting for! 😅😂
hhhahhahahahaaaaaa
@J Whataboutism is a curable disease.
Matt gates could run for Congress tomorrow and win big… All of his constituents in district one of Florida where I live the Men and women all think hes a hero!! Nudie PicturesAnd videos, underage girls, Ecstasy and drugs… the Guy’s a rock star In Florida’s district one, So called Evangelical Trinitarian belt, Or As I call it the Deviant belt?
@J You poor dumb thing….SHE’S A MINOR. Figure it out.
@Alexander Reid She’s a minor and that’s what @J hasn’t figured out.
Sorry Matt, you forgot to mention that the investigation started with Bill Barr, under Trump’s administration. Try again…
Republicans love that tactic of leaving out pertinent information that won’t further their narrative. Never let a fact get in the way of a good story.
Loyalty to Trump is a one-way street that dead-ends at his feet.
@John Griffith that wasn’t loyalty, it was self preservation. He wanted them to keep their mouths shut.
and his supporters have yet to learn that
@Princess Tiarra – This logic does not work. Look at MSNBC.. they lie, get caught, labelled losers but its the same Wash, Rinse and Repeat.
He’s not mentioned the fact that Barr, the EX WH OCCUPANTS ASSKISSER started the investigations!! So if he has a problem, go after Barr. But NO, he’s going to be waiting until They come with the new Cufflinks, if he thinks that #45 will speak up for him. Just think, in a time of need, when ALL the Fans will think he’s even GREATER than he is, he says Nothing for Gaetz. Everyone knew the game. He got scammed like the rest. If he doesn’t Resign, the Republicans will Vote him out. They’re not afraid to speak up NOW, although many of Them are going to get the same treatment. There’s a New Justice in the WH now, and All the BS is over.

Donald Duck set a blueprint for sexual predators to follow.
If Gaetz was married to Melania, she could say, “it was just locker room activity” ….and a third of Americans (including all Bible Thumpers) would be fine with that.
@Ken Albertsen
😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃
@Ken Albertsen Well, Trump did spend a lot of time in underage girls’ change rooms at Miss America pageants. And change rooms are locker rooms, of a sort.
Hilarious how a rich boy who probably never even microwaved his own food calls himself a “Gladiator” Pizza Gætz is a joke.
@Mainely 💯 true
@Mainely
That statement is funny.
The right has temper tantrums?
The word snowflake exists for a reason.
Graduated from trump university Christian conservative now I know why peoples pray God at home
Well if drumpf is a self-made businessman why can’t little Mattie be a gladiator.
more LOL HAHA
Mr Gaetz is forgetting that he swam in the swamp through the last four years
Them Florida Swamps are getting bigger, deeper and more scary every day.
@Jack Boot 👍👍👍
When I first arrived in the US for college there was a scandal involving a politician named Gary Hart that ended his career. How times have changed
@rationalguy
The name of the boat was Monkey Business.
Hart actually dared journalists to tail him when the rumors were swirling around. So surprise! One of them did.
@oltedders Thanks for the explanation! 👍
Ya imagine the cumo scandals if they happened then.killing old people and sexually harrowing women
Yeah, NOT!
No, Matt, they’re not coming for us. They’re definitely coming for you.
Why is everyone guilty now with nothing but allegations. If he’s guilty, punishment is due. Stop the convictions until the case is resolved. Until then its all bull.
Every swamp rat will hang for treason.

@Ally Wilke They are rounding them up as we speak…
@Is that a thing? stfi saul alynsky
The truth can be denied but not avoided.
The new poster boy:
Sea Crimes
Republican voters that watch faux news believe everything is a conspiracy because faux news and right wing media leads them there..
They’ll have a small segment about bad news for the Republicans ( if at all) then change the subject with their WHATABOUTISM b.s
@PIPE DOWN
I agree with you on Fox and all of mainstream media, its all owned corporately.
A world leader recently stated ” Corporations have grown so large they now rival governments in political influence and expenditure”.
They own mainstream….
Thats why i selectively use independent news sources that care about truth.
Fox has several good reporters but it is owned by a leftist billionaire Rupert Murdoch and family.
Yes, the home of the right is owned by the left. ( ultimately Globalists)
Point being until Trump it didnt matter.
Bush wore the label of a Republican as Obama and Clinton wore a Democrat label, all support endless wars and aggression.
Mainstreamvworks to divide and incite.
This is not about left or right, it is about those who use corrupted politicians, who own literally all mainstream media.
The very powerful who pull the strings, narrate the words and they united against change.
The first president in 40 years who didint harbor a major conflict.
Three months into Biden and we are once again on the verge of world war.
We are all being used, manipulated and herded.
@Lawrence Smith If they keep us fighting against each other we’ll never come together and rebel
Daddy fights his battle all his life behind the scenes. Remember his daddy got the sheriff sacked for arresting his son for drinking and driving.🤔
I always hate when corruption skews due process and upholding the laws. What’s the point of having laws if the most consequential elites can squeak their way out of a charge?
The deeper Matt Gaetz digs his own grave, the easier it’ll be for DOJ to burry him.
