Markwayne Mullin on Gaetz Showing Pictures of His Conquests: No Laws Were Broken But Shows ‘Character Flaw’

‘I don‘t know how he can be confirmed moving forward’

EXCERPT:

MULLIN: "That‘s not laws broke, so there's no qualification on that one. I mean, there‘s no question, Erin, that Matt and I have had difference of opinions. There‘s no question for it. As far as it being disqualifying, he wasn‘t breaking a law. It just showed a character flaw. When you‘re looking at someone to confirm for this position, that should be considered too. But I wouldn‘t say it necessarily disqualifies him. What I have said over and over again, why Matt and I have had differences, the president and I have a very good relationship and I trust his ability to pick the right people for his cabinet, and we‘ll give everybody the same opportunity to have a fair confirmation period. And so, we‘re going to move through this process, and if it proves that he is disqualified to hold the position and not able to be confirmed, then we‘ll cast that vote. If he‘s able to move forward and explain these situations and there was no laws broke, then a different decision has to be made on the moral findings of it. I think this is going to be, as I said, a difficult process. But this is why it‘s important for the Senate to have all the information that is out there on Matt Gaetz."
