Florida Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz was the subject of an explosive report in the New York Times yesterday. The newspaper alleged Gaetz was involved with a 17-year-old girl. There are also claims of sex trafficking. The whole thing is very bizarre. Gaetz responded in an appearance on the Tucker Carlson show.

Democrats are on a mission to abolish the filibuster, which they see as an obstacle to unfettered power. In their effort to turn the public against the filibuster, they are suddenly calling it racist and a relic of the Jim Crow past. If that's true, why did they use it against Senator Tim Scott's police reform bill just last spring?
