I'm not asking who you like or who is a better person....and you might think neither is credible...but if you HAD to pick, which one has more credibility?

I certainly respected Bongino more than Gaetz prior to Bongino's FBI stint, but I think Bongino's credibility is shot.

I pick Gaetz. You?

Gaetz. He accomplished a lot while in government.

Bongino told us Epstein killed himself.

On a personal level, Bongino.

Politically, Gaetz.

That is a "tallest midget" contest, if ever I saw one.

Bongino is a moronic meathead, but (probably) basically honest.

Gaetz is a smarmy, born politician. I wouldn't trust him to hold my beer while I buy the next round.

If I MUST pick, I hold my nose and pick Bongino.

Bongino has lost a lot of credibility in my book. His boss just wanted to be on TV and he should’ve seen through it.

Gaetz, despite his weirdness and his history of even more weirdness, is my pick. He would’ve been an albatross had he gotten in as AG

Gaetz and it’s not close. Name one thing Bongino has ever accomplished at the FBI.

Gaetz was definitely slimey with how he exited Congress, but does he lie, though?

Gotta be honest, you have stumped me. I guess time will tell us which one has more integrity.

I think Bongino is a relatively normal guy who loves his family and country and is probably very fatalistic right now. He yelled and preached about making a difference and then finally got to Washington after years of trying to get in the door and probably felt the handcuffs from a thousand directions - the most deflating being those within MAGA.

I think Gaetz is smart and right about plenty of stuff, but like so many in the movement he cares first and foremost for himself and his brand. MAGA is filled with guys who think the right way and can articulate and sell it, but it's paper thin for them ideologically.

Gaetz was arguably the most AF congressman in DC.

I understand not liking him, but objectively he’s as MAGA as anyone in government.

Well, Bongino has never been accused of having sex with underage girls.

That might be true. He would have restored credibility if he would have at least addressed WHY he seemed dodgy with Epstein and the Pipe Bomber rather than using his first tweets as a free man to attack people on the right rather than leftists.

What does that have to do with credibility? Plenty of people have (falsely) accused Trump of having sex with underage girls.
