Where is this generations Larry Flynt?

One of the best ways we can resist is by keeping R's on the defensive by exposing and even placing scandal exposing rewards/bounties out.
The arrogance of R's today is similar to the late 90's early 2000's.
If scandal forces just two R congressional resignations a year, it would keep their conference impotent.
In my opinion, this is not going low, it's doing the medias job for them.
Any thoughts?

Like that's ever gonna happen. Gaetz resigning was an outlier, and will not likely ever happen again.

That don't have the Teflon coat that trump has.
Even one here and one there will have the success of embarrassment and bad publicity that will stain the party during this cycle like no other.
I think everyone is expecting him to grift, I just don't believe they will be tolerant of the underlings doing it.
Remember, they will take this too far and we just need to be there to expose it for what it is whenever it happens.

George Santos and Mark Robinson (thank you NewDeal2) would respectfully disagree.
