Matt Gaetz (R-FL).<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">As Politico <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2021\/05\/17\/joel-greenberg-matt-gaetz-488993\"><span class=\"s1\">reported<\/span><\/a>, Joel Greenberg, a former friend and associate of Gaetz, formally pleaded guilty Monday to multiple federal charges, including sex trafficking a minor, ID theft, stalking and fraud. Greenberg is reportedly planning to cooperate with authorities.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">In response to the ongoing investigation, Behar said, \u201c\u2026the only sin that you commit in the Republican party these days is if you say that Biden won the election \u2014 everything else is fine.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cHe feels like he has cover in the Republican Party because, as I said, they don\u2019t care what you do there as long as you say that Trump won the election,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">When asked about the situation, McCain <a href=\"https:\/\/people.com\/politics\/joy-behar-meghan-mccain-spar-over-matt-gaetz\/\">said<\/a>, \u201cWell, first of all, I have family members and good friends who all work on Capitol Hill in Republican politics and trust me: the Republican Party and people on Capitol Hill are embarrassed by this. So, I think I have a lot better sourcing on that than you do, Joy, no offense.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">McCain went on, saying, \u201cIt\u2019s super disgusting. He should go to jail. It\u2019s super embarrassing. Like I have nothing else to add. It\u2019s gross. He\u2019s a deeply unserious person. He should be removed from his committees. There\u2019s some people on the Left that I think should be removed from their committees for some of the things that they\u2019ve said about Israel\u2026if we want to talk about removing committees, we can do this all day long. But Matt Gaetz is a pervert that should go to jail. Okay. The end.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Behar spoke up, adding \u201cyou\u2019re right. You know more about what\u2019s going on in your party than I do,\u201d before asking a question.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cMy question is: if it\u2019s not the Republican Party, shall I call it the QAnon party? What shall I call your party now, who defends people like Matt Gaetz and goes against Liz Cheney? What are we supposed to call it? Explain this to me, please.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">McCain responded forcefully, saying, \u201cI think you can call it whatever you want because your influence in the Republican Party is almost zero and again, as I have said on this show, it is for us to figure out amongst ourselves. What Republican is like, \u2018Mmm, Joy Behar doesn\u2019t like my party, oh God, I better stop voting for them now\u2019?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Behar pushed back, claiming McCain often gives her opinions about what the Democrats should be doing to better their own party.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The Daily Wire <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/mccarthy-says-rep-matt-gaetz-is-innocent-until-proven-guilty\"><span class=\"s1\">reported<\/span><\/a> last month that House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) said \u201cMatt Gaetz is the same as any American, he\u2019s innocent until proven guilty. There\u2019s no charges against him yet. If a charge comes forward, that will be dealt with at that time.\u201d<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">McCarthy\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=P_JJG9hVBgI\"><span class=\"s1\">confirmed<\/span><\/a>\u00a0that he has spoken with Representative Gaetz, who has told the minority leader that he is innocent. McCarthy also said that he explained the rules of the conference to Gaetz and that they would take action if something were to come out.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Gaetz has denied any wrongdoing and has not been charged with any crimes.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
