In fairness, it's not like they would know

Looks like a complete sausage fest. I doubt any of them would know what a woman looks like unless they accidentally saw their mothers in the shower. I suspect that's going to be pretty typical of the whole viewing audience of that video.

Thing is, I'm sure they -know- they are lying, but figure its great scare tactics to keep in power.

My understanding of how pardons work in America is that a pardon intrinsically involves an admission of guilt. Basically, the person receiving the pardon admits guilt, and the government acknowledges their guilt, but decides not to punish them, because of the pardon. Does that mean that to ask for a pardon pre-emptively is basically a guilty plea? Maybe asking for a blanket pardon is a pre-emptive guilty plea to ALL the crimes? IDK, I'm not a lawyer. The law is weird.

It's not clear that accepting a pardon does, in fact, imply accepting guilt: see

Ex-soldier's acceptance of Trump pardon didn't constitute confession of guilt, court rules

A federal appeals court on Thursday said a former U.S. Army officer's acceptance of a pardon from former Republican President Donald Trump did not constitute a confession of guilt that would bar him from challenging his convictions for murdering two Afghan civilians.

I think in Gaetz's case, we can easily imply he's accepting that he's done SOMETHING illegal.

We can certainly infer he thought he'd done something for which he needed a pardon, though doubtless he'd say he simply feared that partisan prosecutors would invent charges against him because of his patriotic activities (particularly his outreach work with young patriotic girls?) which would make a pre-emptive pardon necessary.

Anything is believable - the more dispicable the better the likelihood.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, there aren't enough reactions for that amount of sheer total batshit cray-cray.
