1. He's sick

This was a guy in his mid to late 30s taking advantage of high school girls and flat out paying them for sex. Not dissimilar from Epstein.

No man in his 30s should be dating 17 and 18 year olds, it's sick.

[Prairie Gates]

3. I like how people clarify that these women were "adults at the time"

Oh, OK, yes, fine. That's great. The Attorney General only paid for sex multiple times with adult women. In that case, never mind.

What in the world?

The Speaker of the House has an absolute stick up his ass, and the former Vice President couldn't have a work lunch alone with a woman, but the nominee for Attorney General is out there like Fredo Corleone "bangin' hookers two at a time." It's unbelievable how low we've sunk.

[Johnny2X2X]

5. And these weren't hookers

They were young impressionable teenagers who were wooed by rich and powerful men. You don't go for 18 year olds when you're in your mid 30s, it's just plain wrong. It's very similar to what Epstein did, only Epstein picked girls that were a couple years younger. And some of these girls were 17 when they started getting involved with Gaetz. Was he cruising the local malls looking for girlfriends? Imagine you're a dad and some 38 year old man in a BMW shows up at your door to pick up your 17 year old daughter, you'd meet him on the lawn with a shotgun.

So they were partying with 17 and 18 year old girls, plying them with drugs and alcohol, and then sending them hush money afterwards. That's exactly what happened and there's no excuse for it.

7. How old were they TIA

And he’s a sicko no matter their age gross

[Prairie Gates]

9. And he's a sicko no matter their age gross

Yes, that's the point of my post.

[Wednesdays]

18. "No man in his 30s should be dating 17 and 18 year olds, it's sick."

Um, he wasn't dating them...as in taking them to the movies or baseball games.

[dchill]

19. Burgers and malts.

Like that? Right?

[Skittles]

25. yeah

and when they say he was "sleeping with them" - um, no

[Prairie Gates]

2. The from line being "Rep. Matt Gaetz" is either hilarious or horrible

Maybe both.

[dalton99a]

4. .

[MagickMuffin]

8. He has to buy friendship $250. You'd have to pay me a LOT more

I hope he gets what he deserves.

And

Why would holier than thou that Speaker Johnson approves of this behavior?

I thought he didn’t like that sort of thing. Well it wouldn’t surprise me if he does similar things as well. We already know he has a porno addiction and has to have his son to keep him in check.

[hadEnuf]

12. They pretend not to approve of this behavior.

But clearly, they have no problem with it. Only with the political party of the people doing it.

[orangecrush]

6. Busted

[progressoid]

10. I'd be shocked if this makes a difference

We live in a post fact world where nobody believes the media.

[Crowman2009]

11. I'd be shocked if ABC finally decided to buck the trend of obtaining access and stop bending over backwards to the...

...MAGA audience. Which is pretty ridiculous anyway, since they'll never win those scumbags back, no matter how far right they go.

[surfered]

13. I guess ABC has more courage than Morning Joe

14. I'm still stunned that the majority of Florida voters are that stupid

Their racism must be so entrenched there. Can't imagine anyone with half a brain even considering going there other than visiting Disney. For the Democratic voting long-timers, best of luck.

[Tommy Carcetti]

22. He's in the most deep red conservative corner of the state.

He's not a statewide elected official. (Sadly, DeSantis, Scott and Rubio are).

Anyways, we're a lovely state that unfortunately is currently run by numbskulls, but only 12 years removed from having voted Blue.

Disney actually kind of low-key sucks, but there are a lot of other great places to visit here.

Thanks for your concern, though.

[wolfie001]

24. Yes!!! I hope every cycle!

2000 is when it all went bad with the Kathleen Harris/Jeb Bush debacle. Best of luck to y'all from Maryland!!! I'm so glad we kept that phony Hogan outta the Senate! Cheers (i was in charge of the baby carriages when we went to DisneyWorld many moons ago. So, I just sat most of the time Loved the BBQ turkey leg though)

[Skittles]

26. I've never forgiven Florida for the "hanging chad" bullshit

and I live in TEXAS

[Marthe48]

15. Loser man pays for sex

Why?
One reason could be that he's such a turn-off, which is my top choice. Like Rodney Dangerfield saying his parents had to hang a porkchop around his neck to get the dog to play with him.
Another could be that if he pays for sex, he gets to call the shots. "You took my money, so you have to do what I say."
Has anyone looked in his basement?

[Seinan Sensei]

21. He makes me wonder if Beavis and Butthead had a Love-Child

[Renew Deal]

16. Gaetz has many enemies in the republican party

And some of them are pretty powerful. Namely Kevin McCarthy

[IronLionZion]

17. Are MAGA Moms and Evangelicals going to say anything?

because their silence is deafening. Matt Gaetz is more of a threat to teenagers than any books in the school library.

[joshcryer]

20. MAGA moms were ONE OF those "sugar babies."

That is the ideal for them. A rich man paying them for sex and favors. Making sandwiches and raising babies.

[Skittles]

27. no

they give a damn about repuke perverts - heck, more than a few of THEM are perverts

[Grammy23]

23. Whatever happened to his "adopted son"--

Nestor? Anyone heard from him lately? Guess he is a young adult by now.
