On the heels of defending alleged sexual predator and retiring Democratic Rep. Katie Hill, GOP Rep. Matt Gaetz took in a Nats game with Donald Trump:

“Ellen” executive producer Andy Lassner, for one, wasn’t impressed:
Did Lassner need to go there? Probably not. But there should be no doubt that Gaetz should not have gone here:
I’d ask NBC if they stand behind such a dumb/triggered/profane comment from a senior employee…
But I’ve learned after reading #CatchAndKill that accountability isn’t really NBC’s “thing.” https://t.co/6Jilq9pcXz

I think Andy pretty much nailed it.

For the record, Lassner’s partner, journalist Yashar Ali, is pretty pissed at Gaetz:
How dare you make this implication @mattgaetz…referencing a book about the coverup of sexual misconduct when talking about @andylassner’s criticism of you?
Also, he’s not an NBC employee, but you’re a shameless fool… pic.twitter.com/joDZH2xZV3

2. I've reached out to Congressman Matt Gaetz's staff members @LukeTBall and @JillianLWyant about his irresponsible tweet.
They should get back to me…
