Gaetz is talking to reporters now, after being kicked out of the deposition since he's not on Intel, Oversight or Foreign Affairs. Gaetz is making the case that he should have been allowed in since he's on the Judiciary Committee

Rep Gaetz is not on Intel or Oversight or Foreign Affairs Cmte and was kicked out of the deposition. Argues that he is on Judiciary and his committee has jurisdiction on impeachment and should have been let in.

1. WTF? If he's not on the committee why does he think he should be there?

If he wants to grandstand (and he does) he can wait until the witness comes before his own damn committee (if they call her). Just fuck that guy.

10. He's Florida Man. This is what they do.

We had one clown who was a rebel rouser who would walk up to known opponents who were standing on the steps of City Hall after volatile meetings and say things like, "I just talked to <enter a name> and he told me everything you're planning."

To tell you what kind of world I live in, sometimes it would work.

17. How does trump know what happened if he doesn't have a rat inside?

Matt's a rat.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

18. He's still got Devin Nunes, who is on that committee,

and who's always been a rat.

[wcast]

2. This is one of the funniest things I've heard in a while.

What a jerk he is.

[mcar]

3. Fcking moron

[Thomas Hurt]

4. He is free to ask the chair of the committee he is on to have Hill testify there...

The GOP is represented there. He is just there to be a ratf**ker.

[Mike 03]

5. And he gets a press conference out of this.

The journalists indulging him right now should not reward him for doing this. Now we'll have sound bytes of a guy who never even belonged in this story on the news tonight, taking time away from the actual content of the deposition.

[RAB910]

6. Typical Republican entitlement mentality

[dem4decades]

7. In all fairness maybe he's so stupid he forgot what committees he's on.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

8. Bwahahahaha

Has Gaetz started drinking in the A.M. now?

[MoonRiver]

9. These idiots still think they're in charge

[H2O Man]

11. Recommended.

I see a bright future for him, coming very soon, selling used cars. He's a natural.

[Mopar151]

19. New car dealers need him!

The REAL predator in a new car transaction _ The F&I Man! Finance & Insurance - is the high value con, in most new car transactions! Especially in sub- prime credit situations.

[walkingman]

12. Typical Rethug - these folks are a totally different species.

[flibbitygiblets]

13. Maybe he missed the sign that said "No public tours beyond this point"

Standing there by the unused hand sanitizer dispenser, the picture of white male privilege.

[JaneQPublic]

14. The best way to keep a GOPer out:

Subpoena him.

[Captain Zero]

23. LOL

Ain't that the truth.

[lunatica]

25. Yes

[keithbvadu2]

34. Good one!

[malaise]

15. Did any reporter ask him about that terrorist video

that was shown at Doral?

[NewJeffCT]

16. Did Matty have a little too much to drink

and drunkenly went into the wrong committee meeting?

[Kingofalldems]

20. Here's another pic:

21. Looks like he had a flea in his ear....

[Perseus]

35. republicans didn't want him to scratch his ears, they wanted him to listen well

or maybe that is a radar transmitting to the creature and bill barr.

[OnDoutside]

36. Gym Jordan was already there, and he'll report everything...it's not like it's wrestling camp ;)

[Mr.Bill]

28. Coming next:

He will ask that the testimony be thrown out because he wasn't allowed to be there, and until the end of time they will call the hearing "illegal".

[Captain Zero]

22. Sure sign

He is a Russian Asset.

[Mr.Bill]

31. They should have checked to see if he was wearing a wire.

[Perseus]

33. Very good point, I would not put it past them.

From now on they should check all repubs who are in those committees.

[Pepsidog]

24. Piece of shit. Remember how Ken Langone got Spitzer back after Spitzer included him in a pay lawsuit

against NYSE Chairman Grasso? Langone hired a private investigator to follow Spitzer and followed him to the post office where Spitzer was getting or sending a money order to pay for prostitutes. Why doesn’t a wealthy Dem do the same thing to guys like Gaetz. Imagine the shut you can dig up on guys like him, Jordan and Meadows. Time to get dirty.

[calimary]

38. Definitely. Serve them a banquet table full of their own shit.

Unfortunately, in this day and age. there’s no other way to have a fight on a level playing field. The only other way is for the other side to disavow cheating and game-rigging and vow to play fair. And it’ll be a cold day in Hell before we see that happen.

[George II]

26. Reminds me of when Kramer was working as a "seat filler", and the people around him won the Tony....

....He just went up on stage with them and got one too!

[Mr.Bill]

27. So he says he has a right to be there because Judiciary has authority over

impeachment hearings. Hasn't he heard they haven't voted for an impeachment inquiry yet?

[Zambero]

29. It was all very innocent actually

Gaetz had merely dropped by to lend Gym Jordan his coat for the duration of the proceedings. He needed it back, opting to stick around, and then... At the end of the day Jordan remains coatless and Gaetz is once again "unjustly persecuted"!

[OAITW r.2.0]

30. Gaetz's mission was to turn this Inquiry into a circus.

Mission Fail.

[Perseus]

32. his daddy sent him to listen and make notes

his daddy is the creature of course.

This guy gaetz is not only stupid, damn, and obviously lacks any self esteem, he continues make himself a subject of ridicule.

[calimary]

37. How 'bout all those DUIs, Gaetz?

How many are there? Six? Or seven?

[keithbvadu2]

39. Not the first time Gaetz has gotten lost.

Not the first time Gaetz has gotten lost.

Republicans don't know where the border is. Too dangerous for them

40. Reminds me of that Progressive commercial

Where that guy is supposed to be in ceramics class but he’s in a drivers Ed class hassling the teacher

[smirkymonkey]

41. Ugh! Talk about a face badly in need of a fist.

I just want to wipe that ever-present smirk off his face permanently .
