Gaetz report

This is the type of leaders maga have as their hero.

 

You must be looking for a different thread.

 

Change of heart?

 

So what does that say about the aptitude and judgement of the person that nominated him? It’s not like any of this was a secret.

 

The question is why did the state of Florida not charge him with a crime. The report specifically lays out the challenge of federally charging him, notably, that while he appears to have engaged in Prostitution and other illegal activities across state lines, he does not appear to have brought an underaged girl across state lines in order to have sex with her. However, the report does note the strong evidence of him having had sex with the underage girl in their joint state of residence (Florida). That seems like a state matter. So why hasn't the state stepped in to prosecute him?

 

By DC standards, the allegations against Gaetz are frivolous.

How many posters here have never smoked marijuana or tried cocaine?

Have sex with a girl a week before her 18th birthday and you're a felon. Have sex with her a week after her 18th birthday and you're a stud.

I paid for a former girlfriend's DUI lawyer. Didn't know that was paying for prostitution.

Gaetz was one of the most ethical politicians in the District of Corruption, calling out members of his own party by name for using inside info to trade stocks.

Obama smoked crack and you Dems voted for him.

Saudi Arabia and Qatar gave the Clinton Foundation ~$40M and Hillary led us into wars with their enemies, Assad and Gaddafi

These attacks are designed to prevent Gaetz from having a future. All because he was young and having fun. I'll take this guy all day long because he's an ethical patriot with a big brain who is verbally gifted and has a spine. I love this guy and won't let a bunch of hypocrites tell me what to think.

 

So embarrassing when you pay teens for sex and leave your Venmo transactions public, it could happen to anyone

 

It seems pretty clear that Gaetz committed statutory rape under Florida law? I have not researched the federal law, but do we know whether he also likely committed a comparable federal crime?

 

I didn’t realize that Gaetz was a farmer.

 

Holy shit, a podcast!

 

I imagine that you spent the next 6 months telling her what a great guy Donald Trump was.

 

Did he go to court and lose a case? Has he been convicted of having sex with a minor? Then you know how to comport yourself accordingly.

 

Great whataboutism, red herring, and rationalization here.

* Cocaine is highly illegal. Doing this in office is clearly not the act of an ethical man.

* Playing gymnastics to pay for awful behavior isn’t ethical. It demonstrates he knew what he was doing.

Gonna post the meme because it feels appropriate. I’m seeing a lot of MAGA here now waxing excuses for Gaetz.

 

Gaetz is a man in his 40s, this really isnt applicable at all, or were you just posting this to see if it was retroactive for you?
