Summary
The House Ethics Committee found “substantial evidence” that former GOP congressman Matt Gaetz engaged in statutory rape, prostitution, drug use, and obstruction of Congress.
The report alleges Gaetz paid a 17-year-old for sex in 2017. Gaetz denies the claims, citing no criminal charges from a prior DOJ investigation.
He filed for a restraining order to block the report’s release, calling it “unprecedented overreach.”
Despite GOP resistance, the bipartisan committee voted to publish the findings after a four-year probe into alleged misconduct, including payments tied to drug-fueled sex parties.
MFr looks like a live action dr seuss villain and plays the part.
This isn’t news to anybody that’s been paying attention. I want to hear comments from every single one of his associates in Congress that either denied the allegations on his behalf, defended him against the allegations, or voted against releasing this report. I want to know why they were ‘in the dark’ when people across the country outside Congress knew he was guilty.
On a side note, I’d also like to hear from Google as to why their shitty AI pops up on every single internet search, except when I ask for a list of people that have defended Matt Gaetz over the years. It doesn’t even give up Marjorie Taylor Greene.
I suspect some MAGA voters view raping kids as just a manly thing to do.
And nothing will be done to give this junkie rapist kiddie-fucker the justice he deserves.
Even if he doesn’t serve time, I’d like to think he’ll never hold an elected office ever again now at least
I think sexual misconduct with a minor is a prerequisite for a GOP cantidate, especially in FL. I am sure some have been grandfathered into the GOP prior to this unwritten rule being implemented.
Trump ran and got elected. Similar charges.
Plus a metric fuck ton more
The Republicans named their favorite house rule after a pedophilic former speaker of the house. They just re elected a convinced rapist and con man. I don’t have your confidence.
Trump just got reelected after 4 years to think about it. I wouldn’t be too sure that Gaetz is done.
There was a time when I would believe that could happen.
These days, being a criminal (and personally loyal to Trump) seems to be a pre-requisite for being appointed to a cabinet position.
I do not consider him making several million dollars a year at GOP speaking engagements and hosting Fox News to be considered “justice“.
Ahahahahahah
Trump just got elected to the highest position in the country. There is no standard anymore.
I’d like to think that, too. But I don’t.
Still not a drag queen.
Just another Republican.
“Shocking,” said no one.
[audible but clearly sarcastic gasp]
Great. Let’s make him president then!
/s
Sssshhhhuuuuutuuuuuuup
totally exonerated!
So IOW they just released this to allow him to favorably pad his cv for his new job at OANN.
Gaetz 2028? /s
You kid but let’s not be hasty. Used to be a Republican considering a run for president would, like a Democrat, publish a memoir to start generating interest and chatter about a campaign. For a modern Republican, an underage sex scandal fills a similar function and you don’t have to pay ghost writers.
