Last weeks search of Mar-a-Lago by the FBI could potentially change how media covers scandals, if a former FBI agent has her way.

Former FBI agent and CNN legal analyst Asha Rangappa cheekily suggested on Monday that the scandal was big enough to affect how the media labels scandals moving forward.

Ever since Watergate in the early 70s, media types have often used gate as a suffix on other scandals, such as Gamergate, Nipplegate and Nannygate.

Rangappa suggested it might be time for journalists to replace -gate with -a-Lago.

Although America is as polarized as its ever been, many Twitter users felt Rangappa was on to something.

Some people even offered suggestions on how -a-Lago could be used on current scandals.
