embarrassment

By nominating Gaetz, and him subsequently resigning from Congress, Trump helped a loyalist avoid potential embarrassment, if not worse: As Gaetz is no longer a member of the House, the House can no longer issue a report about him.

Trump himself, at least, was well-advised to stay neutral in the Senate leadership contest, knowing that this was one internal battle where his input would have limited effect, and where his instincts could have brought him to a place of embarrassment.

Attwell gave a statement to the panel about the "stress, distress, fear and embarrassment caused to him" as a result of the post, while Webb said it "has the potential of serving as a green light to those who seek to abuse officials and normalises questioning the integrity of all referees".

One of his victims told BBC News NI that Morrow "thrived off me feeling shame and embarrassment".

I was feeling regret and embarrassment.
