gotcha

Vance lashed out at the senators on X, saying they were trying to “‘gotcha’ Bobby Kennedy.”

“For the next couple of months, maybe it’ll be an interesting sort of gotcha,” he said.

Burr asked Martin, with a smirk suggesting he had just unshipped a “gotcha.”

Goldberg accused Gutierrez of working with the government, “to manufacture a gotcha situation to take down someone that they perceived to be on top.”

But the initial message spread far more widely, getting pickup from Democratic Party operatives as a gotcha against Hegseth—that he obviously should have known better than to use such a flawed platform.
