      Dan McLaughlin Retweeted Matt Fuller

      Matt Gaetz should not be in Congress. But so long as he is there, duly elected and representing American citizens, he gets to ask questions to our rulers, and they have to answer under oath. That's how democracy works.https://twitter.com/MEPFuller/status/1408223658263339010 …

      My suggestion for anyone who thinks it’s appropriate for Matt Gaetz to currently be serving in Congress, questioning the FBI director: Google “Matt Gaetz Daily Beast” https://www.thedailybeast.com/congressmen-squirm-as-world-class-sleazeball-gaetz-continues-to-roam …

      No, not really. Party leaders decide who gets to ask questions and serve on committees. Probably not so great for someone under FBI investigation to be interrogating the FBI director or overseeing the Department of Justice.

      I certainly would not recommend that Republicans follow his lead on anything on oversight, but automatically removing people under investigation from committees would not end well for Democrats, or really, for oversight of the FBI.

      It’s not automatic. It’s a case-by-case judgment.

      Voters make those judgments. Representatives aren't Cabinet officials, to be fired when they become liabilities to the boss. They don't work for the caucus, they work for their voters.

          Voters elect Representatives to Congress; they don’t get to elect them to the Judiciary Committee.

          They also didn’t elect Gaetz with the knowledge he was under FBI investigation.

          You said 22 minutes ago he shouldn’t be in Congress, and 15 minutes after that, you shrugged off any criticism on the basis he is in Congress. Almost like any time you perfunctorily criticize republicans it lacks sincerity, Dan!

          And Kevin McCarthy is rewarding Gaetz with a seat on these important committees. The GOP has endorsed his behavior through their actions.
