Just wonderin' ...

How many Republicans were shown Gaetz's photos/videos of naked women and immediately reported his behaviour and denounced it?

How many Republicans thought that displaying such photos/videos while on the floor was, at the very least, inappropriate conduct - and spoke up as it was being done?

Republicans are not coming to Gaetz's defense. Is that a sign that they are offended by his behaviour - or simply a matter of 'we personally never liked that guy anyway, so let him swing in the wind'?

Prediction: The unraveling Matt Gaetz story is going to leave a LOT of Republicans with a LOT of 'splaining to do.

If past is prologue, Gaetz showed incriminating evidence to Jordan, who AGAIN turned away.

Back home, Gym's brand should be growing mildew since he's done nothing for his district for years. So there's not a whole lot in the way of concluding that Gym's the guy who goes along with sexual predators. That's not a good image, eh?

They will all try to stay silent about each other, and hope the focus stays on Gaetz alone.

I was saying this to a friend earlier, wondering why they are just NOW getting around to investigating the ETHICS of Matt Fucking Gaetz
