Please excuse Cassidy Hutchinson as she politely vomits over Matt Gaetz dating rumors: “I have MUCH higher standards”
Matt Gaetz‘s false claims that he used to date her.Hutchinson, who served as a key witness for the House January 6 committee, stopped by Rachel Maddow‘s show yesterday to promote her new book Enough.
During the sit-down, Maddow asked about several allegations Hutchinson makes in the book against Gaetz.The 26-year-old writes about a few different times when the 41-year-old anti-LGBTQ+ lawmaker allegedly hit on her, including once when he used one of the worst pickup lines we’ve ever heard: “Has anyone told you you’re a national treasure?”Another time, she says he tracked her down one night during a work trip at Camp David and asked if she could “escort him to his cabin,” claiming he was lost and couldn’t find his way back, despite all of the cabins being clearly marked along a circle driveway.Gaetz issued a statement this week denying the stories, saying, “I don’t remember either of these events and based on Cassidy’s prior false statements, I doubt they occurred.
I did date Cassidy for a few weeks when we were both single years ago.”He added that the “parted amicably and remained friends thereafter” then said it was “sad” to see her “dishonestly turn against so many people who cared about her for fame and book sales.”When asked about this by Maddow, Hutchinson looked amused and also like she was trying not to throw up.“I do not think that Matt Gaetz has the best track record for relationships” she said, politely. “I will say, on behalf of myself, I never dated Matt Gaetz.
