Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) is taking a page from President Trump’s burn book to combat a claim that he talked to Trump on the phone Wednesday and told him he was “happy” to post the threatening tweet about Michael Cohen.
“#FakeNews,” he tweeted, sharing a thread posted by Edward-Isaac Dovere, a staff writer for The Atlantic. Dovere reported that Trump called Gaetz on Wednesday night to talk about Cohen’s testimony before the House Oversight Committee and the tweets Gaetz posted — and later removed and apologized for — about Cohen’s family.
“I was happy to do it for you. You just keep killing it,” Gaetz was reportedly heard telling Trump, according to Dovere.
Gaetz apologized to Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and, apparently, to Cohen personally, for the tweets about Cohen’s alleged “girlfriends,” but the Florida Bar is currently looking into whether he violated an ethical code with his tweet.

In other news, the Florida Bar is looking into whether gravity pulls downwards.
Who has a f’ck to give this guy? Toss him to the alligators already, if the alligators don’t want him then stake him out on a beach at low tide and let the crabs work him over.
It’s only fake news in the sense… it’s not News that Gaetz is a POS
It’s clear that he has not gotten past Kindergarten.
I love the smell of panic in the afternoon.
