So-called “reporters” have been sending threatening messages to people, demanding they invent fake stories about Congressman Matt Gaetz in exchange for their names being kept out of the news. The office of Rep. Gaetz (FL-1) released the messages to John Solomon’s Just The News on Tuesday, appearing on the veteran reporter’s podcast on the same day.
“[T]ime and time again, what a reporter will do is contact someone that maybe I’ve had a relationship with, maybe I haven’t had any relationship with, maybe I’ve only been in the same room with one time,” Gaetz told the John Solomon Reports podcast. “But they’ll say to a person, ‘You know, look, we are going to write your name into a story that will have sex trafficking and Matt Gaetz in the headline, unless you provide us some bad information, some embarrassing conduct about Gaetz. And if you do that, well then your name will be protected, your reputation will be protected.'”
One stunning example is that of Mother Jones reporter Matthew Phelan, who has harassed a number of Gaetz-world figures demanding they invent narratives to keep themselves out of the news and out of trouble with law enforcement.

Fraud is an actual crime. Waiting for the arrests of reporters in 3... 2....1....
I’m sure there is enough extortion there for a lawsuit or two-and enough money in it to make some people nervous-this is ridiculous...
“Lord pray such things never happen here.”
Why?

Ruff ‘n Tuff FIB be on this right away!
Shame that bass turd.
Well, it could significantly delay your morning commute for starters....

Certainly plausible.
But Matt, show us the texts so we won’t think this is just more of your BS.
I think this goes beyond a rebuke. I don't think Sullivan would protect a media outlet that is doing this.
All it would take is one shot..form a shotgun loaded with buckshot, and that problem would be solved.
yep- dox them. Let’s get phone numbers and call them.
We are lucky we don’t live in a lawless country. In a place like Mexico such journalists would be found handing from an overpass.
Lord pray such things never happen here.
We do live in a lawless country and it’s Trump supporters like Ashli Babbitt who are hanging from those overpasses.
After the botched 2018 Broward election, we saw Matt at the rally behind Snipes’ office.
He rented a box truck and had four pallets of paper from an office store to represent the quantity of “found” 8pg ballots. And he ripped her a new one on the magaphone. It was impressive.

No, not them. Start with where their elderly parents live and where their children go to school. These are Marxist propagandists who wish us dead. The two choices here are fight like Democrats or lose. There is no door number 3 here.
He is going to have to do things he doesn't want to do to people who absolutely deserve it. I am talking about things we can not talk about on this website. And WE need to be OK with this, even force him to do it, and even assist. The media must PAY for what they have done to this country.
Trump is not the kind of person that does that.
