Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) became a victim of pardon bombing Thursday on Twitter.
It happened after the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol revealed that the lawmaker was one of at least five members of Congress who attempted to get pardons from then-President Donald Trump for their roles in helping Trump attempt to overturn the 2020 presidential election.
But Gaetz wanted his pardon to be a lot broader than his role in Trumps election fraud, according to Cassidy Hutchinson, a former aide to White House chief of staff Mark Meadows.
She told the committee that Gaetz had been pushing for a pardon since early December, according to Business Insider.

Ive heard they are covering the hearings somewhat now so they wont look pathetic when their audience is less than the Committee audience.
Anybody known how much FOX covered of todays hearing?

Gaetz wanted a pardon that let him off the hook for everything, even the shit he's only suspected of committing, and stuff that might come to light later. Drag the little fascist shitweasel.

ASKING for one most certainly IS.
