@georgetakei "Cassidy Hutchinson is a known liar," says Gaetz. But as Melber shows, she's not the only one saying Gaetz asked for a pardon. I suppose this is all a matter of everyone's lying but him.

@georgetakei So many Trump bros turning away. Now also Gaetz. So sad. But not all of them! His best buddy Bolsonaro just applied for a six month visa. Living next door near Mar-a-Lago.

@georgetakei Simply, it is not nice to comment negatively about someone’s physical features. But, what a sleazy, snake-eyed, thin-lipped cockhead. All those features wrapped tightly in rhino hide.

@georgetakei "That Gaetz asked for a blanket pardon in the final weeks of the Trump administration was first reported by The New York Times in April 2021, and was later confirmed by several witnesses during the House Jan. 6 committee's investigation into the Capitol riots.

Multiple former Trump administration officials testified under oath that the Florida congressman did ask the then-president for a blanket pardon in 2021..." https://www.newsweek.com/matt-gaetz-repeatedly-asked-trump-pardon-intense-6-minute-grilling-1777718

@georgetakei Well well. Matt Gaetz is a LIAR!

not surprised.

Only I'm saddened that there are so many folks who remain republicans who don't care if their side is made up of Liars and cheaters so long as their side stays in power.

I cannot trust these people ever again. because frankly, they prove that they just don't care as long as their side is winning.

It is a German word that had been adopted into the English language that means “taking pleasure in the misfortune of others”.

@georgetakei

What he actually said was “I never asked for a pardon just for myself.”

Gaetz, I suspect, asked for a blanket pardon for all involved.
