In the political world, to get Chaffetzed means to be thrown under the bus by someone you have helped or mentored in order for that person to get ahead. It is named after Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) who regularly turned on his former mentors or supporters.
Various prominent Republicans, from former Utah governor and presidential candidate Jon Huntsman Jr. to House Majority Leader Rep. Kevin McCarthy, have experienced what it's like to get Chaffetzed.
