Matt Lewis on Trump’s Private Crypto Dinner: It Is ‘Transparently a Bribery’

EXCERPT:

LEWIS: “I mean, it’s so obvious, it would be transparent if we knew who was there, but it’s — transparently, it is obviously bribery. And, you know, as Peter was saying, we’ve seen something like this before. Not to this extent, certainly, but I’m old enough to remember Bill Clinton and, you know, allegations of renting out the Lincoln Bedroom and Chinese donors and scandals, real scandals that I think actually damaged Bill Clinton, you know, the accumulation of these scandals, certainly. And I wonder why that’s not happening now. And I don’t want to blame the victims here, but I don’t think Democrats have a Newt Gingrich or a Rush Limbaugh. And if they did, you know, we see those Democrats standing up there condemning this. I don’t think it’s landing yet. And so, you know, yes, Republicans ought to be standing up and holding their president, their standard bearer, accountable. I don’t think the Democrats yet have the juice to take  what is just transparently bribery and make it matter to the American people."
