Not buying that. Gaetz has limited power although he has some. He more or less stays in step with his party and is nothing more than a henchman and one whose personal behavior may yet cost him his seat despite him denying the holocaust.

Whoopi's reach can affect many more people because she has the ear of 10s of millions 5 days a week. As a result it created many bad ideas and behaviors towards Jews with her dustup because people got a feeling that Jews were able to push her around by being treated as more important and it was a "victory" for her to fight back and return early. She misrepresented the Holocaust and referred to Jews as basically an underfoot inconvenience and then reiterated that by returning early.

This was not good at all and she still has people's ears with her elitist nonsense every day.
