John –

One of Donald Trump’s most alarming cabinet picks, former U.S. Rep. Matt Gaetz, is facing disturbing allegations of sexual misconduct, according to a damning report from The New York Times.

Federal investigators uncovered evidence that Gaetz paid for sex with a 17-year-old girl. The investigation was halted only because Gaetz resigned from Congress to accept his nomination as Trump’s Attorney General.

Yet, right-wing media is rushing to defend him.

Let’s be clear: putting Gaetz in charge of the Justice Department sends a chilling message to survivors of sexual assault. How can victims trust justice will be served when the nation’s top law enforcement official is mired in credible allegations of exploitation and abuse?

John, this is why COURIER’s mission to expose the dangerous influence of right-wing propaganda has never been more critical. As Fox News and its allies work to normalize and defend Gaetz, your support helps us fight back with factual, fearless reporting. Can you chip in $25 now to counter their lies and stand up for truth?

Here’s how the right-wing media is spinning the allegations against Gaetz:

Fox’s Jesse Watters: Compared Gaetz’s confirmation process to the Salem witch trials, claiming Democrats were “weaponizing the DOJ.”
Tucker Carlson: Called federal investigators “secret police” who “slander people through the media.”
Sean Hannity: Likened Gaetz to Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, portraying him as a victim of partisan attacks.
Greg Gutfeld: Shrugged off the accusations with, “We all have stuff in our past.”

Fox News and Trump’s right-wing media allies are standing by Gaetz, not because he’s qualified, but because their loyalty to Trump outweighs any sense of moral responsibility or responsibility to the rule of law.

This is where COURIER comes in. We’re reaching millions of Americans in the same digital spaces where their misinformation spreads, exposing their propaganda and holding them accountable.

But we can’t do this without you. With Trump’s media allies working to normalize Gaetz’s nomination and do Trump’s bidding, the fight for truth is more urgent than ever.
