It made sense with Watergate but beyond that it has gotten out of hand. There is even a list for "-gate" controversies now, that's how bad its gotten over the years.

I think we all know they would, and all the mush brained cretins on social media would think it was the cutest god damned thing ever and you'd never hear the end of it. They'd be printing off shirts and mugs and shit.

Well, they called it Gaetzgate when Matt Gaetz was caught paying a 17 year old for sex, so the answer is yes.
