Breitbart: With Matt Gaetz Gone, Big Media Targets Pete Hegseth, Tulsi Gabbard
Following Matt Gaetz's failed nomination for attorney general, cabinet nominees Pete Hegseth and Tulsi Gabbard are now under intense scrutiny from the media. With Gaetz out of the picture, outlets have shifted focus to highlight alleged controversies surrounding Hegseth and Gabbard.
Hegseth faces accusations of sexual misconduct, while Gabbard's foreign policy experience is questioned. Republican senators are reportedly interested in Gabbard's FBI file, which could reveal potential foreign contacts. The media's coverage reflects a growing distrust among Americans, with confidence in media accuracy at a record low.
GB News: Backing Brexit 'not protected' from workplace discrimination after woman loses bullying and harassment case
An employment tribunal ruled that supporting Brexit does not qualify for protection against workplace discrimination under equality law. Colette Fairbanks, a former Ukip councillor, claimed she was bullied and fired for her anti-EU views, but the tribunal determined these were opinions, not philosophical beliefs.
Judge Paul Jumble stated that if wanting to leave the EU were considered a philosophical belief, it would encompass a significant portion of the British electorate, contrary to the intention of the law. Fairbanks was dismissed from her position at a rehabilitation charity after posting controversial comments about immigration online.
Fox News: The Hitchhiker's Guide to Gaetz's status in the House and the Ethics Committee report
Former Rep. Matt Gaetz has officially resigned from the House, effective immediately, and cannot revoke his resignation. Although he was re-elected for the upcoming Congress, he indicated he would not take the oath of office as he pursued a position in the Trump Administration.
The House Ethics Committee is expected to conclude its inquiry into Gaetz by the end of the current Congress, but there is a possibility it could carry over to the next Congress. If Gaetz chooses to serve, it could bolster GOP numbers as other members leave for the administration.
