Sex abuse allegations against Matt Gaetz and Pete Hegseth only make Trump like them more

Amanda Marcotte : Some Republicans are expressing shock and outrage at Donald Trump's cabinet nominees.

She says they should be outraged at Pete Hegseth's nomination to run the Defense Department .

Marcotte says the ability to commit crimes — even sex crimes — and get away with it is part of the allure of Trumpism.

Lawyer for two of the women who testified to the Ethics Committee says they attended sex parties with Gaetz .

Even if the report becomes fully public, don't expect Trump to care.

Defending a man's "right" to have sex with underage girls would be making good on a campaign promise.

The ability to commit crimes and get away with it is part of Trumpism.
