Still, the remarkable online threat prompted immediate speculation about potential consequences for Gaetz. Some raised the prospect that Gaetz could be in legal trouble, while others warned he could face serious backlash from his colleagues in Congress.
Gaetz initially refused to apologize when reporters asked about the tweet: "This isn't witness tampering, it's witness testing." “Disgraced felon Michael Cohen is going to prison for lying to Congress and making other false statements,” White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said in a statement Tuesday. “Sadly, he will go before Congress this week and we can expect more of the same. It’s laughable that anyone would take a convicted liar like Cohen at his word, and pathetic to see him given yet another opportunity to spread his lies.
The person familiar with Cohen’s testimony said Cohen plans to discuss the president’s critical tweets — which he believes amount to witness intimidation — during his appearances before Congress.

Him and trump Jr. The face of the GOP. Entitled, whiny, arrogant, pompous, applauding the death of John McCain while laughing. Painting a picture of the worst of the human condition.
He should be remove from congress. Voters do your duty to not elect this person on next election
Guess the threat of a bar investigation does have an effect.
To late!
mmax38 Who is the boss man here.
Too late for the idiot. Remove him from Congress.
Another Republican Bully
A hollow apology, RepMattGaetz, just forget you threatened MichaelCohen212 and his family. Your statement was clear as was the intent about which you have now lied.
He should be removed from congress and charged
He needs to be disbarred in FL and removed from the House for dereliction of duty.
He should have released it.
Aw.... his wittle bully session didn’t work out so good..... punk. After this wannabe mobster gets disbarred, what say we get some more trump administration indictments underway? DoneWithTheseRepublicanLosers
Too little too late
why isn't gaetz being prosecuted for witness tampering? because we have a partizan DOJ
He is a congressman....resign!!!!!!
Constan54963224 Isn’t it too late.... The intention of threatening was done..?
Trump tool
Shallow apology. Expell & prosecute him. Period.
Don't persecute the massager, attacking y GOP makes it worse, its unwise, substance of his subject matter corroborates , even if his testimony inadmissible in the court of law as an impeached and disbelivable since his conviction impeach him,but he was before Congress forum!
Shame on this man. Below the dignity of a Congressman.
Apology not accepted.
House should refer to DOJ for charges
Too little, too late....
No need to apologize. He was simply pointing out the complete lack of character of this snail
He’s a putz
What a disgrace!
Lock him up
Enjoy your “one term” stay!!!
Didn't stop him making his presence known by his intimidating walk through the room
You did good but he used it against Pres today
Sorry you lose you license and go directly to jail.
Too late. He threatened a witness. Shouldn’t he be held accountable?
Apologizing is no defense to witness intimidation.
Don’t apologize. Release it. The democrats never apologize for anything.
Another bully in the Be Best era
He needs to be held accountable
He needs to lose his job! Zero Tolerance for ALL Federal employees
Sorry too late, the tactic is a crime, called racketeering
How hypocritical of Pelosi who doesn’t police her vulgar & hate mongering Dem colleagues. How about the Jewish hating Congress woman & the great vulgar mother
He should be censored by Congress at the very least
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤬🤬🤬🤬🤢🤢🤮🤥MG is irrelevant
These “men” clearly do not have the capacity to represent the American people in a diplomatic position! They behave as if they are rogue cult followers !
Lock him up. Lock him up.
Gaetz is a disgrace and should resign.
mattgaetz is certainly someone who doesn't deserve to be in any kind of public office. How can he be trusted to uphold the Constitution of the United States when he clearly owes his allegiance to realDonaldTrump.
This is how the GOP rolls.
This apology comes a little too late Matt. You were very aware of your words and actions yesterday. You’re only apologizing because you’re worried about your seat in congress.
sorry, RepMattGaetz, you apology is NOT accepted. the horse is out of the barn. it was a calculated statement on your part.
Does it matter if you apologize for witness tampering?
There’s a fantastic Italian proverb/saying: “La madre degli idioti è sempre incinta” / “The mother of idiots is always pregnant”. Here’s a real life example 🤦🏼♀️ maga GOP
But he does still plan to secretly key Cohen's car.
Too late to apologize. You knew exactly what you were doing and saying. You say you want to get to the truth? You won't believe the truth because it crucifies your darling djt.
Not gonna keep him from an ethics investigation
This seems to be the new normal for so many in the Administration and Congress. We can not allow this type of behavior to continue, please help insure these type of people are never elected to office again. We are better than this.
Too late. He NEVER should have said it. He will forever be remembered for that.
Witness tamperer and attempted perverter of the course of justice apologises if it keeps him out of jail shock. Film at 11.
Apologized because he now fears expulsion? Because that's what should happen.
Threats that's great
Witness tampering! Lock him up! Lock him up! Lock him up!
Lauren4homes2 He needs to be fired!!
And yet keep undermining this investigation from the truth. Bunch of deceptive people Republicans have become.
No!!! Now we know who you are You have no place representing any country. Apologizing for something you knew was wrong. Sort of rings hollow in the real America. RESIGN NOW!!!!NOW!!!
What Gaetz did was illegal. An apology does not suffice. He was attempting to influence testimony to congress.
Censure & ResignGaetz
I guess Goetz is still pissed about Stone being investigated.
He needs to be removed
Too late mattgaetz
Gaetz - that so- called apology you made was totally insincere and done only because you said what you meant - and it was a threat. You no longer have complete coverage for your dirty deeds now the Democrats are back
Fire him. He is a liar.
Lock him up.
He should be charged
An apology doesn’t change the fact that MG is a thug. He needs to resign from Congress & be disbarred from the practice of law. Is it appropriate for any lawyer/member of Congress to behave like this. Make an example of Matt Gaetz. We’re tired of corrupt lawless politicians.
Time for an investigation.
Release it. Democrats do it
He is cut from the same creepy mold as C Nunez and Jordan. Creeps
Who cares? Release the info
Ha, you need to get kicked out of office for threatening witness. Time for you to go.
Let’s learn who this Matt clown really is👇🏻
Sorry isn’t good enough. He committed a crime...
Damage done.
Apologize all he wants, he’s well aware of the tactic. You can’t un ring a bell.
Apology not accepted.
That threat didn’t seem to work. Cohen is singing his ass off.
Wouldn’t that be considered witness tampering?
An apology is not acceptable! This asshole seems to get away with all his despicable behavior! 7 DUI’s and a daddy who makes criminal charges go away! No wonder he loves Trump! GOPLeader HouseGOP TheDemocrats Do your job and kick him out of Congress! GOP mattgaetz MAGA
Time to look in this jokers closet
Da.... he should damned well apologize! Unacceptable conduct to a witness no matter his opinion
He needs to resign!
With or without an apology, Gaetz revealed his true character, more precisely, his lack of character, illustrating again what’s wrong with our gov. Trump & his admin obstruct truth as they know from their deeds it will not set them free. It will indict them & the President.
Why should he apologize? Turnabout is fair play. Cohen is going to Congress 2 talk about things that were private between attorney and client. Gaetz was talking about things that might be embarrassing to Cohen. I'm sorry he apologized
He should be censured for his behavior and conduct!! An apology do not cover up His words!
Another DJT thug! Intimidating a witness? He should be charged.
Nice witness tampering and harassing of a witness Matt, make sure you Trump you did a good job.
Mr. DUI boy should be charged with witness tampering. Let the border Florida know what you think about this self-entitled bully
Welcome to the list of America's top 10 most hated people, Matt Gaetz.
Somebody please fire his ass.
How did NRA go from spending almost 1/2 a billion dollars on political contributions in 2016 to claiming that it could soon “be unable to exist” in mid-2018? *Keep an eye on the investigation into Russian money flowing through NRA in 2016 & into the GOP. * FollowTheMoney
Too late
Let the truth out? Democrats are only ones playing nonstop dirty tricks on trump daily. Dems dont care about world peace, unsafe streets, illegal criminals, but... cohen... wow!!! Pathetic group of hateful sick hypocrites!
Live look into Gaetz's personality.
This guy needs to be removed.
RESIGN, RESIGN, RESIGN, RESIGN, RESIGN, RESIGN, RESIGN, RESIGN, RESIGN, RESIGN, RESIGN, RESIGN 😡
Threatening a witness is a felony. Why aren’t these guys arrested or charged. Sick
APOLOGIZE?HELL NO! HE KNEW EXACTLY WTH HE WAS DOING-GAETZ HAS TO BE REMOVED FROM CONGRESS-KICKED OFF THE HILL & OUT OF WASHINGTON INDICT GAETZ LOCK GAETZ UP WITNESS INTIMIDATION IS A FELONY !
Lol he must have sobered up
Too little too late Matt. You should be indicted
Another Trump fixer?
I hope you don't have any skeletons in your closet, buddy. Because if you do someone will rat you out. That's how it works.
Guys on their way to prison don't have girlfriends anymore.
Apologize all the way out the door you thug.
Fry this dude.
Not good enough.
It really just show you how dumb and backward these Politicians are. Everytime time they open their mouth they say something wrong for which they have to Apologize.Are these the kind of people you want to stand in long lines on election day to vote into iffice. I don't think so
Not good enough...censure
Throw his ass in jail. If it was me I'd already be there in jail that is
No no no. He intentionally threatened this witness. He must be charged with this crime!!! FBI?
I dont care that mattgaetz apologized. Just dont believe he means it
Is he going to be at the hearing today? I think SpeakerPelosi should not allow him to participate if he does.
This Corrupt member of Congress should Resign. Gaetz knows like all Republicans do that Cohen will be telling the Truth to avoid more jail time. Why does Trump & Republicans continue to disrespect the intelligence of Americans. In fact let’s challenge Trump to testify under Oath
I believe he should be facing charges. Apology or not.
..and if you believe he is sorry ....
Gaetz is a disgrace as a member of Congress and a despicable human being!
This is why POC are tired of WhitePrivilege He believes he can just apologize and it willgo away. He should be prosecuted and have his life shredded. How was elected Florida ? Why? I just can’t understand how this country has fallen from its ethical standards of office.
Now you get to Go.
Matt smells like Trump.
Too little too late ...scum of the earth .... running ones mouth on national agenda does have consequences.... should be punished...the more they get away with the more they seem to be out of control .
Very filled out. Does he have a significant other?
typical, i knew it. coward and loudmouth. it’s tail snatching when it comes to take responsibility.
This is an apology?
Tooooooooooo late!
This is barely news
He apologized? I saw him double down and say he was just challenging the witness.
He only apologized when he realized that he was in BIG trouble. Prosecute for intimidating a witness.
He apologized....how nice if him but he still made a clear threat to a witness. Is he going to jail?
Tell it to the judge - oh wait, those in Congress are above the law... LockHimUp
Lock him up and take his law license.
Why apologize? I thought you said it was 'witness testing. '
Michael Cohen is lair 🤥🤥🤥🤥. Michael Cohen is already plead guilty lied to congress . Can’t trust Michael Cohen and not interesting what he’s saying today in congress!
Who cares? Damage done , jury poisoned.
Apology NOT ACCEPTED!
Witness tampering ? Maybe.
Whew. Thank goodness apologies definitely provide legal protection from any and all legal prosecution.
Yeah he should be the example, the example set so this doesn't happen again. Jim Jordan is another who skirts the line, he'll cross it soon enough unless the Ds act with a harsher, tangible penalty.
Don’t drink and tweet!
Dude, you caved. Daddy Donny realDonaldTrump would not be proud of you because you apologized. Stick to what you know best...being a 💩. After all, realDonaldTrump DOES NOT apologize, he just has PressSec add spin.
Hey Gaetz, does anyone not know that you are a bully, and trying very hard to suck up to ConDon? The real question is: why? Not enough love out there in 'Daddyland?'
he needs to resign.
Damage done!
Oh don’t apologize. They never apologize
They must take action against this idiot who obviously got his talking points from the trump camp. The Congress cannot allow this type of behavior on either side of testimony and maintain it’s credibility.
I still say a threat like that against a witness should be taken serious he should be prosecuted if I sent such a text I would be in serious trouble he should be to Wake up America
No one accepts an apology, from a person that premeditates' a ' nasty strike' on another mans manhood ,and family.
Too late!
Too late, resign.
mattgaetz Too late, he is still SCUM! He needs to leave office one way or another!
Something something threatening a witness?Can we just send all the GOP to jail? They all seem to be complicit
RepMattGaetz Sorry I am an idiot, a water carrier for a future felon who happens to be the 45th President of the US. Rep. Gaetz, is being a world-class putz a full time job?
I wonder who passed him this dirt on Cohen?
7 DUI's and this guy has the audacity to call anyone a criminal! He should be no where near Washington D.C., just the thing that's become a cancer eroding our system from within!
Roger Stone physically threatens the judge hearing his case via social media; Repub Rep. Jason Smith yells “Go back to Puerto Rico!’ To Dem. Tony Cardenas on the House floor, etc. Say hateful/dangerous things, issue an insincere apology & you can say whatever you want at any cost
Apology not accepted! What’s in your closet? Cant wait to read about it!
Not good enough....lock him up.
ARREST HIM !!! LOCK HIM UP !!!
The FBI needs to investgate Matt Gaetz. He is interfering with the investigation. It looks like that he conspiring with all Trump criminal activities.
Sometimes sorry doesn’t cut it. The threat was issued. Its impact delivered. The consequences live on.
So what does this guy have to hide to threaten Cohen for an supposed ally? How much at stake here?
He should resign
You know, saying you’re sorry doesn’t stop anyone else from getting arrested. Time to draw a line in the sand on this gangster bullshit by Trump’s Republican Party
I think the press should start digging into Mr Gaetz’s personal behavior. I’m sure a snake like this has something he doesn’t want anyone to know about.
A guy who brought a holocaust denier to trump's State of the Union Address. Sadly this will make him more popular in the Florida Panhandle, AKA Alabama South.
Congrats, Politico. This headline accurately depicts the severity of the threats & intimidation RepMattGaetz levied against Trump’s “Fixer”,the guy who lied to protect Trump aka fell on a grenade.
Until he says it from inside a prison cell, we don't give a shit.
Too little, too late. Resign.
MattGaetzShouldResign
Lock him up.
Did he apologize for killing a man?
The headline here being the threat not the apology....thus Politico framing it w/the reverse.
Trump hangs around with scum bags , all of his associates are questionable. Matt Gaetz is a thug in a tie. Let’s remember who these bad eggs are
One can be both contrite and prosecuted. Throw the book at him.
Would DOJ investigation of Gaetz, if tweet etc down with knowledge of White House, be a new part of Mueller probe due to Russia tie if Cohen testimony or be farmed out?
Who cares that he apologized? Damage done. Dem leaders are failing to make the case that these people are dangerous. Highly disappointed.
Charge him with witness intimidation/obstruction.
Too late we now know what you are
Too late for you. You broke the law.
Witness intimidation..lock him up
mattgaetz it doesn't pay to be a 'staunch ally' to realDonaldTrump More like stench ally as everything he touches is shit, and so are you.
Go straight to jail. Do not pass Go. Do not collect $200.
This guy needs to be jailed for awhile for breaking Congress’s ethics ! He is a minion if Cheetoh!
mattgaetz ChrisChristie Didn't Kushner's father go to jail for the same thing? Just asking for a friend. 🤡🎈
No “marketplace of ideas,” Bubby?
He’s sorry when his back is up against the wall ...just like Rodger Stone. Hmmmmm.
How do these people get elected?
Matt Gaetz is a licensed attorney in Florida. His Bar Number is 48962. He violated 18 U.S.C. § 1512. He could be charged with a felony for witness tampering but this is also grounds for disbarment. call the Florida Bar and file an official complaint. 1-866-352-0707.
Gaetz now under investigation by DOJ
bottom line cohen is no different then any other criminal, he is looking to make a deal to save his butt, But he is a CONVICTED LAIR
Isn't witness intimidation a federal offense?
too little too late
Floridians: vote smarter next time.
He's such a blatant sycophant. It's really gross to watch.
Ummmmm too little too late. Are you kidding me?
Matt Gaetz words require some reprimand by colleagues!
Ridiculous! Democrats do it.
We will not accept an apology he has to be removed from Congress. What he did was criminal
Too late! Go to Jail, go directly to jail! 20 years!
wokerobin That's nice, but he's already said the nasty, evil words. I truly don't understand the GOP.
Witness tampering : LOCK HIM UP
Only because McConnell told him to I'm sure. Too late. He needs to be charged with witness intimidation!
Nah, this needs to be investigated and action needs to be taken. We need POS like this put inline and dare I say removed from positions of authority.
The guy is a drunk with a rich Daddy
Ummm. Unacceptable. The looser needs to be thrown out
Too little too late. Just trying to protect his own ass.
Can't unring the bell. Threat has been made. This punk needs to pay for this, appropriately...
What does Trump have on you? Or is it Russia? Jail cell waiting....Oh sorry I didn't mean to threaten you.
Witness tampering?
My simple wish for Matt Gaetz and his like minded group of fellow politicians.
An apology from a man like this is meaningless. At this point it’s just to save his own ass!
Typical GOP and Trump strategy/playbook, say it to muddle the water and cast doubt and later say he didn’t mean so.
Bye bye
Thug
This jerk should censored at the very least
mattgaetz is no Roger Stone.....
LockHimUp ImpeachTrump voteblue VoteBlueNoMatterWho
Too late. He should be charged.
Doofus Maximus Gaetz.
To little to late, it's out there now! He should be investigated.
There was a time that Members were held to higher standards. I might settle for any standards at this point. He committed a crime in plain sight. He should be charged.
You are clearly a “trump” guy. Hate speak and divisive talk with no thought of the damage you cause with your words.
He looks like he comes from the Devin Nunes bloodline...you know, the Snitch-Rat family!
His original tweet says more about who Gaetz is than it does Michael Cohen.
Sorry we don’t take apologies from traders
Nobody cares
Too late! Pay the piper!
mattgaetz Ought to pray that no harm comes to Michael or any of his family.
Talk is cheap, especially his talk LousyLoudmouth
He needs to be kicked out
Nope.
To late Gaetz. You can always blame it on being drunk
The Florida Bar Association needs to consider disbarment for Gaetz.
He has always shown his true colors. He is a disgrace and should not be in office.
A little late and meaningless. It’s time the law reel this punk in. He’s another child of a wealthy connected daddy who never instilled any values in him.
Too late.
I want him to air Cohen's skeletons
Does anyone on the planet doubt that Trump paid off a porn star.... And a Playboy model?
Ethics committee!
Too late! He needs to be disciplined... but more than that, isn’t this crossing some legal lines? Is someone in his position just able to make threats of this nature in a situation as this one without any punitive consequences?
Apologies don’t cut it. It is witness tampering. He needs sanctioning, investigation and his ass kicked out of congress.
The mob is running the federal government
mattgaetz nothing to apologize for. Legitimate question. MichaelCohen212 is a liar, cheater and overall unethical guy. No one will be able to believe him about realDonaldTrump. This is the dems grandstanding.
Vote him out
Someone forgot to drain this guy from the swamp
Nazi sympathizer
His history says lot ...and how the hell do you elect ..like this? how?
You mean after he warned Cohen he was about to be tested to his credibility?
Thug politics! It starts at the top.
No apologies accepted... this one Right here is the WORST ever
Uh, a little late and you already blew the dog whistle
Too little too late.
mattgaetz as a member of Congress you should know better than to post tweets like you did. It was threatening in tone and pot criminal in nature. It’s an ex of what’s wrong w society and lack of civility. You need to lead by example or keep your thoughts to yourSelf if you can’t
Lock mattgaetz up
Too late, we see you as you really are.
Just another angry white guy in Congress. Too many for my taste. Need to defeat them at the ballot box. No demonizing, no angry rhetoric, let’s have respectful and well crafted debates in front of the electorate.
mattgaetz = dumbass
What he lied about was the content of DT involvement with shady and illegal acts, receipts showed. DT got away with it. Now, Cohen has no reason to lie. Bring the rest of the receipts. We’ll see who’ll be laughing.
So after he apologized you say he threatened Coben?
wokerobin “I’m sorry I threatened you, my bad!”
He should be charged with
Give him the chair! ⚡️
No. We don't accept your apology. You showed exactly how black your soul is by tweeting that comment at all. Too little, too late. When are we going to stop allowing bad actors like this to serve in Congress.
What he was saying is that MCohen has already lied to Congress and Democrats are gonna prop him up as another tool in their chest of empty morals. Yep, cuz Donald bad them good.
Too late
All these trump’ HS dropouts and cult followers always come back to say sorry. But, they all forget one thing: they already displayed their ignorance.” Isn’t that amazing how stupid some of them are? A joke!
Charge him with contempt of Congress
Yeah, no one is above the law unless it’s in VA. Give it a rest. Michael Cohen is your new alter boy and you’re gonna risk y’all’s reputation for this turd. Give us some news already.
Too late.
Too late, imho. he’s an elected official & officer of the Court (member of the Bar) so an apology is BS. W/O the social media uproar, he wouldn’t have apologized. Typical GOP: no integrity. As a people, we expect more.
Throw this bum out if Congress
Gaetz’ campaign funds 2018 were $958k, his Dem opponent $49k, in 2020 he’ll face a new candidate with $10,000,000
Just because he made a lame excuse for an apology doesn’t mean he shouldn’t face consequences. What a joke.
Too late. A gentleman doesn’t tweet that nonsense in the first place.
Do kid yourself, this guy did not want to apologize. Just remember he is a Trump piece of 💩. When your children were walking across streets he was driving drunk.
Rep. Matt Gaetz there is no apologize necessary! “Please” release the damaging personal information about Michael Cohen the Democrat’s white version of Jussie Smollett another racist liar!! America is allows 100% behind you Rep. Matt Gaetz!!
He did not apologize. It was not his “intent to say threaten.”
A real stand up guy! He was forced into it I'm sure! What a hateful, vile person! Does he think an apology will cut it? He needs to be censured at the least. I wonder how many skeletons he has in his closet, maybe someone should dig there
Too late. Speaker Pelosi- he needs to be removed from whatever committees he sits on, apologize to the family and HOUSE LIVE. A written statement is not enough.
Here’s mattgaetz this morning....
RepMattGaetz threatens a witness before Congress and “apologizes”? That’s the new normal for the gop - witness tampering.
Too late. Throw the bum out.
FBI should still pay this criminal a visit and he should be looked at for attempting to tamper with a witness! This is what the dirty criminal GOP does!
As a lifelong republican, and someone that supports fairness to all, and encourages everyone to speak, and always loved governing, this guy Gaetz makes me sick and ask the question “Is this where we are today, is this what we have to settle for?” Say No, say Gaetz go home!
Censure.
Too late , his attitude all day was unforgivable
Not good enough. Crime committed. Damage done. Prosecution warranted.
Too F - - K. I N g little , too F - - KI NG late , mr multiple D U I?!
He needs to be censured publicly by his peers!
I live in Florida...even by Florida standards, this guy is a jerk...
Apologies don’t work when you engage in witness tampering especially as an elected official. GOP should demand he resign and charges be filed. Thought GOP the rule if law party?
How is this human doughnut in a position to threaten anyone? Who elects these creeps?
This is threatening! Intimidation! Obstruction of Justice! His true colors are showing. Take him off the Judicial Committee!! He is not appropriate!
Is he apologizing for just testing?
This is what happens when you try to rehabilitate a convicted liar...... no one believes anything
Damage done! Gangster threats with Trump approval I’m sure have had their intended effect.
Tweets first, thinks later. Just like his orange hero.
How did this guy get elected
Oh he saw Cohen had some receipts 🧾
It amazes me how Republicans are concerned about Cohen lying and yet they blindly serve Trump who has done nothing but lie since he became President.
He said it wasn't a threat. He said he was testing him.
Sorry about that your honor. I really do apologize for hitting him over the head with a crowbar. Apologies don’t cut it in politics. Ignorance of the laws is no excuse for breaking them. Have another drink.
This vile, low level political nobody should be censured by his fellow Republicans.. this is not why this pig was elected
You don’t get to commit a felony and just apologize.
Witness intimidation.....I'm sure it was just an accident. Right?
Rep Matt Gaetz need to sit his but down got some nerve threatening somebody maybe your wife should check you out I hope his wife tells you to go to hell he comes out like a child republicans are so weak grow up
To late
yeah he might just need to lose his law license for this & be outed of his position.
Let me guess. It was was a drunk tweet. How about you resign and go to rehab. Personally as an American I am sick of the Republicans doing all they can to obstruct this investigation. A little hint innocent people have no need to intimidate witnesses.
He needs to resign...
mattgaetz this day enough that you could 'threten' Cohen the day b4 he testefies. It sure say all about who you are! And I hope that ppl take that to heart, and it also show what kind of ppl that is in realDonaldTrump surrounding and support him! This is a casuse for consern!
Too late. As an attorney, even a stupid, sorry excuse for one, he is aware of what witness tampering entails and he engaged in it to please Trump. At a bare minimum let’s work towards getting him disbarred. UnfitForOffice GOPComplicitTraitors
Not enough
Drunken tweets are the best.
mattgaetz Matt, you wouldn’t have to apologize for your nastiness if you kept your mouth shut🤐 People in glass houses should not throw stones!
Too little too late. I hope RepMattGaetz is disbarred for his intimidation of a witness.
Not acceptable. Why do we keep allowing this type of behavior from elected officials
Too late buddy. Way too late.
Real character on show
WitnessTampering RepMattGaetz LockHimUp
Fuxking criminal
censure anyone? SpeakerPelosi
Fake aoology dismiss him from committee
Can't unring that bell Sonny.
Isn’t it late?
He should be censured. End of story.
Wonder why young people are leaving white Christian churches. These people
Too much, too little, too late! GaetzTheDrunk GaetzResign
Matt’s comment was meant for one person... Michael Cohen. Period
Funny how people think that deleting a tweet makes them innocent, and that what they have done/caused by the tweet evaporates in thin air with no effects or consequences....
Apology not accepted.
Tampering with a witness before congressional testimony, that’s a thing? Improper, there’s an argument to be made.
Hearing Gaetz’s consistent prior arrogance this was no more than an insincere apology that he was forced to make.
No apologies for this tweet he should be dealt with by the ethics committee
What a biiiitch. If you got the balls to say it, at least stick by it. It makes your words mean so much less moving forward
Lock him up !
It's out and out witness tampering and his bloated, drunk, ass needs to be locked up.
'I'm sorry I was so deep in the Trump bubble that I didn't know I'm not allowed to say whatever vicious thing comes into my head. Please let me keep my job.'
He should be censured by the House immediately!!!!
To late. He should be punished
Too little too late. .SpeakerPelosi should move to have him removed from Congress. Period. The American people demand it !!!!
I hope he loses his approbation as lawyer for violating basic standards of ethics.
Bullsh-t he is unrepentant, and the House let him off with a tap on the wrist.
Apology not good enough. No one is above the law. He should face the consequences rather than getting away with it, which would set the wrong precedent.
Please justice be swift and severe.
Can’t be unheard.
Gaetz no need to apologize
Remove him from ALL committee assignments & refer him to the DOJ for criminal prosecution
no sorry, buzz off
I'm fixing this for you. He is not a staunch ally he is a Sycophant and if you report this any other way you are playing right into his plan.
Far too late he should be standing down perhaps he should work for FNC he's always on there
Not good enough. He should be stripped of his assignments.
I'm just an autoworker but where did he get that information there's only one place if you have common sense that was from DT this is blatantly in your face witness tampering but the justice system is alot different for these people, I suppose DOJ has guidelines for this shit too
In his defense, he is a bit of a weasel.
Makes no difference, the deed is done. Charge him with intimidation and teach this petulant child a lesson.
mattgaetz apology not accepted.
An apology is an admission of wrongdoing, just like a pardon
Don't apologize, resign.
Ha! He must have talked to a lawyer!
This guy and I use that word loosely is unethical and should have charges pressed against him he's no congressmen what happened to the integrity Congress use to have oh I forgot about the fake president in the maga hat LOSER
mattgaetz idiot
Just another ShitholeDonnie fanboy. Go away CrookedGOP and take your lying con artist so-called president with you.
“Matt Gaetz is scum!” Danny Deutsch on “Morning Joe” this morning! Couldn’t agree more!
Too late. Can't put the cat back in the bag now.
He got his ass kicked by SpeakerPelosi
too late... we don't care about Cohen....
Nope. Just no. No takebacks.
Thug.
I expect no less from a republican
Awwwww, can dish it out but not take it huh, cohen the confirmed liar. This is just more Democrat sensationalism. The liar lying some more.
Too little, too late! Witness tampering! Lock him up!
Gaetz needs to be expelled from Congress and charged. Call your Congress person immediately. 202 224-3121
