Congressman Gaetz apologized for his tweet threatening Cohen after Speaker Pelosi said something. Notice that (as far as I know) no Republicans criticized him for it. He may now face legal action. I hope so. His tweet was dangerous.

Speaker, I want to get the truth too. While it is important 2 create context around the testimony of liars like Michael Cohen, it was NOT my intent to threaten, as some believe I did. I’m deleting the tweet & I should have chosen words that better showed my intent. I’m sorry. https://t.co/Rdbw3sTQJD

Matt Gaetz’s tweet was a good reminder that many of the president’s most loyal supporters don’t hold President Trump to the same moral standards that they hold others. Trump’s alleged marital infidelity has been the subject of several high-profile stories. https://t.co/1xfmO5p6Dy
