Paul Begala: ‘What the Hell Qualifications Does [Matt Gaetz] Have? He Might Not Be a Child Molester?’

EXCERPT:

BEGALA: “PolitiFact looked at his legal record. Eight years in a law firm, most of which he was a state representative in Tallahassee so he wasn‘t free to do much lawyering. They found seven cases. Maybe there were more, but PolitiFact found seven cases: a couple of speeding tickets, he had a cool case where a farmer wanted to let skydivers skydive on his farm, he won that one, so he‘s pro skydiving, and he represented the Crab Trap in Fort Walton Beach in a worker‘s comp case. The Crab Trap, which is great, you know, they have an early bird special I think Trump would love, there‘s a lot of fried food there. But what the hell? Why is this the guy? He has no experience. He has no qualifications. Set aside these astonishing allegations, by the way, which the Biden Justice Department said there wasn‘t enough evidence to pursue. I don‘t like Matt Gaetz, but I think in defense of Matt Gaetz, you‘ve got to put that in the record, that the Biden Justice Department didn‘t find enough evidence to pursue it. But what the hell qualifications does he have? He might not be a child molester? Okay. Good?"
