Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., said Tuesday that Attorney General Jeff Sessions should take back his decision to recuse himself from the investigation into Russian election interference and consider firing the special prosecutor.

Gaetz, who's become one of President Donald Trump's most vocal supporters on cable news, told Politico's "Off Message" podcast that Sessions should demand to see any evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia that special counsel Robert Mueller has discovered in his investigation. If he doesn't have evidence of collusion, Gaetz said he should "go ahead and wrap this thing up."

"I still think there's time for Jeff Sessions to do the right thing," he said.

The congressman added that Russia's attempt to influence the election was akin to "emptying a thimble of vinegar into the ocean hoping to change its chemical composition."

He also said that the Trump campaign lacked the organization to collude with a foreign government.

"The Trump campaign was lurching from one event to the next. I had some familiarity with the campaign. I spoke at, I think, four of the Trump rallies that were in Florida, and these were not highly coordinated events. I would often learn of the program of one of these events just a day or so before the event itself," Gaetz said.

"That seems to evidence the point that these were not people off colluding with Russia."
