So some of the Maga are now spilling the beans on Gaetz?

[senseandsensibility]

I read that Marc Short actually dished up some really juicy and R rated gossip about Matty on Anderson Cooper's show last night. Since it was a CNN interview of one of their own analysts you would think they'd rebroadcast it today? Sounds like a real ratings grabber to me.

But CNN is strangely silent about this today. As with the very juicy Boebert scandal, CNN seems squeamish about mentioning it.

It's a real mystery, isn't it? I'm sure that if such dirty linen came out about Dems, CNN would exercise just as much caution.

1. What's the point of blackmail unless you're prepared to use it.

I wouldn't expect less from any side of the corrupt maga party.

[senseandsensibility]

2. I have 0 illusions about the Rs

of course, but why is CNN tiptoeing around very real scandals regarding Gaetz and Boebert?

[C_U_L8R]

5. CNN never had much journalistic spine

and what was there seems to be obsequiously withering away to nothing.

6. They don't want to be seen as piling on by the GOP or as Johnny Come Lately by Democrats.

[senseandsensibility]

8. I honestly don't think they give a you know what

about the Dems.

[marble falls]

12. There's always that. Let's you know how the stockholders think, doesn't it?

3. Yes. He's being "Cawthorned"

Text in first tweet:

Mike Pence campaign adviser and former Chief of Staff Marc Short on Matt Gaetz: He didn’t come to Washington to govern, “it’s more likely he came here for the teenage interns on Capitol Hill”.

Text in secondtweet:

WOW! is Matt Gaetz Being Cawthorned?

Listen to what fellow Republican House member, Sen. Markwayne Mullin just said about Matt Gaetz.

It's SHOCKING:

“This is the guy who the media didn't give the time of day to after he was accused of sleeping with an underaged girl. We had all seen the videos he was showing on the House floor … of the girls that he had slept with. He’d brag about how he would crush ED medicine and chase it with an energy drink so he could go all night."

7. So Mullin is also pointing out the media didn't give the time of day

to Gaetz's scandals. What is the reason for this? I honestly don't understand.

16. Wobbly witnesses. n/t

17. Yikes--that's some photo. He looks debauched. nt

9. I keep waiting for our very own CNN Defender DUer to chime in, but

he seems to have gone silent after the Chris Licht firing.

[senseandsensibility]

10. oh yeah

Forgot about that guy. What was his name?

[Sky Jewels]

11. Something along the lines of ...

Just A Receptacle of Precipitation.

Not sure if I should say the real name.

[senseandsensibility]

13. I think it's coming back to me

Thanks!

[Sky Jewels]

14. Sure!

[Disaffected]

18. I don't blame him.

IMO he made useful contributions to the discussions here - one problem was, a lot of folks don't like to have their beliefs and lack of knowledge challenged in a rational manner.

[drray23]

15. Gaetz showing videos of his underage woman abuse on the floor of the house was reported before

The real question is whether or not they are going to act on it to kick him out.

[senseandsensibility]

20. I remember that, but this is a reputable person

Marc Short (former chief of staff for Pence) going on the record on CNN to one of their own reporters. It's not some vague gossip.

[Towlie]

19. Matty Magat! (or Matty the Magat). Has a nice ring to it.
