I am tired of lies, corruption, and trump loyalist breaking basic rules, the constitution, and having zero ethics while elected by the people of this country. It shows as a community, we have no morals or ethics. It feels as if we are in the 1800 wild westErick McBride (Reno, 2020-12-23)

As a lawyer, I think we need to have some standards, and Mr. Gaetz has transgressed all reasonable standards of conduct. He's attempted to subvert the constitution, intimidate witnesses, and has revealed confidential information. He does not need to be a lawyer, and does not deserve to be one, after such conduct.I recognize that behavior is tolerated in politicians that is not tolerated in lawyers, but we must not allow lawyers to act unethically and then hide behind the "I was lying as a politician, not a lawyer" ruse. Unethical behavior that effects the Constitutional norms of this country cannot be tolerated from any lawyer, whether they are elected to public office or not. Mr. Gaetz must be disbarred.

Matt Gaetz has undermined the United States. He proved his loyalty to Trump and he will do anything in his power to stop the country from moving forward as long as it means Trump succeeds. Taking an oath for our country means you’ll do what’s best for this country, starting with his DUIs, Matt Gaetz continues to show the general populous that he will continue breaking the law and breaking his oaths because he feels untouchable, but no one is above the law.Fernando Zaragoza (Bell Gardens, 2020-12-23)

Matt Gaetz is a criminal for his participation in an "act of sedition", and trying to disenfranchise voters, both of which are crimes he publicly admits to.

i am a now retired attorney in the state of iowa, where i practiced primarily criminal defense for all of my 35 year career. as a public defender, i told folks it was my job, responsibility, and honor to uphold the constitution, and to ensure my clients received equal treatment and protection. the constitution has meaning and value to me.matt gaetz mocks and ridicules our constitution at every turn, twisting and corrupting it, ignoring and burning it - or gloriously and gratuitously draping himself in it - as it serves his selfish purposes. he makes all floridians looks as foolish & idiotic as we iowans do for electing steve king, charles grassley, joni ernst, and kim reynolds.
for the sake of your constitution and the future of your judiciary, remove this blight from your roll, and help restore honor to the florida bar.
this one step, alone, won’t do it all, but it is a significant first step.
