Matt Gaetz's undies are in a bunch as he denies speaking with Trump about the ambush.

This is false. I organized and led this press conference, including entering the committee room. I never discussed this with any White House official including the President.

1. Hahah. It was a fiasco.

Trump now doesn’t want anything to do with it. What morons. Totally incompetent.

2. Maybe he didn't "discuss" it because Scalise and Jordan did all the talking.

The Republicans always rely on technicalities to escape culpability.

3. "And by 'press conference,' I of course mean 'illegally entering a SCIF'"

4. and I'll only put it in a little ways...

Another one of those lies we hear so often from the GOP.

5. I Read In Another Post That These Repugs Went To The WH And Discussed This Disruption.....

with the president and the president encouraged it. My guess is that Trump came up with the idea all by himself.

Now looking back at the bad press they got for these antics - they are probably realizing that this could be another article of impeachment for Trump. Probably 'obstruction of justice'. So now they are backing off and saying the WH had nothing to do with this.

What do you think?

7. Matt Gaetz also did not Tweet from his phone from within the Security chamber. He says.

Even though someone Tweeted photos from inside the Chamber on Matt's phone while he was in there.
