Why no Republicans will criticize Matt Gaetz?

[kentuck]

Hell, they couldn't even criticize a guy that incited an insurrection and committed sedition against our country, leading to the deaths of several people! Why should anyone expect them to criticize Matt Gaetz?

Thou shall not speak ill of a fellow Republican, their 11th Commandment.

They are totally amoral. Their only interests are power and control. As Donald Trump and Matt Gaetz have shown, there is no crime that would require any of them to speak up. They have no integrity.

They will only speak up when it begins to reflect poorly on them personally. Otherwise, do not expect too much from the Republican Party.

5. Yes.

Democrats should let them stew in their mess and hope that NO male House Democrat was clueless enough to sample Gaetz’ House peep show.

4. They are hoping that Democrats get revulsed enough to get Gaetz.

Then republicans can accuse Democrats of wrongfully wielding power, using twisted logic that has become a Republican trademark. I believe there are some younger Democrats that would happily fall into that trap, but I don’t think that the House Democratic leaders will allow them to.

6. Pukes shut up and circle the wagons.

The leaker will be the question for them. That darned leaker did it again. A diversion for the media to run with.
