The Tonic Accord

The Tent is Big Enough for Matt Gaetz but NOT a Commission?


Listen Later

In this end of the week episode, Drew and Alex touch on the January 6th commission. On Wednesday, the house did vote to approve the commission to look into the chaos at the Capitol, however only 35 House Republicans supported a commission. The rest, including Kevin McCarthy, did not. This meant that 175 Republicans did not support it. Drew and Alex talk about how the GOP seems to want power over truth, why the commission may hurt some GOP members of the house, and why the nation really can’t move on until there is an investigation. Then they touch on Matt Gaetz, who apparently the GOP tent is still big enough for. Last Monday, Joel Greenberg, a friend and colleague of Gaetz, pleaded guilty to multiple federal charges, including sex trafficking. This could be serious for Gaetz as clearly Greenberg is willing to talk and it could implicate the Florida congressman. Both Drew and Alex are shocked that while Liz Cheney has been castigated from the party, a potential pedophile and sex trafficker hasn’t. Is it a big tent? Or one just hellbent on maintaining power?
