Desi Lydic：对Matt Gaetz性丑闻指控的详细报道，以及对众议院道德委员会是否应该公开其调查报告的强烈质疑。她认为，鉴于指控的严重性以及对透明度的承诺，公开报告是必要的。她还引用了前任国会议员Bill Boner的案例作为先例，说明即使议员离职后，也可以公开道德委员会的报告。她批评了Mike Johnson试图阻止报告公开的理由，认为这是一种试图掩盖真相的行为。
Mike Johnson：他反对公开众议院道德委员会对Matt Gaetz的调查报告，理由是这将为调查任何私人公民开创一个危险的先例，并侵犯了个人隐私。他认为，道德委员会的调查应该仅限于现任国会议员。他强调了保护个人隐私和避免滥用权力调查私人公民的重要性。
