Matt Gaetz offered several defenses of Rudy Giuliani visiting Ukraine this past week, saying that while it is 'weird,' Americans should give him 'the benefit of the doubt' because of his role after 9/11.
"I would never compare Mayor Giuliani to a murder suspect," Gaetz responded."Let's remember, this is the guy who took down the mob in the '90s. And who was out there leading the city of New York in the aftermath of the terrible events of 9/11. So I think he gets the benefit of the doubt that he's not akin to a murder suspect.
"I think the president was acting on his sincere, longly-held view and skepticism of foreign aid. I think he was acting on concern Ukraine is the third most corrupt country in the world," Gaetz said of the U.S. ally. "It's a brazen move," said Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi, an Illinois Democrat and member of the House Intelligence Committee, in an interview with"This is emblematic of this White House: when they are in the wrong, they double down. And in this case, they are tripling down."
