Always remember: Matt Gaetz is Rep. Scott Franklin, R-Lakeland's "Wingman"
Fast special bonus Christmas Eve flashback to the ghost of happier, sexier elections past. LOL.
Also, I forgot that Peter Schorsch, the yearbook editor of the degenerate high school that is Florida political/power life, loved him some Matt Gaetz in the ancient Before Times of 2020. Let’s see, what else was Gaetz up to in 2020. Who else was getting his, ahem, “endorsement?”
In sum, the Committee found substantial evidence of the following:
From at least 2017 to 2020, Representative Gaetz regularly paid women for engaging in sexual activity with him.
In 2017, Representative Gaetz engaged in sexual activity with a 17-year-old girl.
During the period 2017 to 2019, Representative Gaetz used or possessed illegal drugs, including cocaine and ecstasy, on multiple occasions.
Representative Gaetz accepted gifts, including transportation and lodging in connection with a 2018 trip to the Bahamas, in excess of permissible amounts.
In 2018, Representative Gaetz arranged for his Chief of Staff to assist a woman with whom he engaged in sexual activity in obtaining a passport, falsely indicating to the U.S. Department of State that she was a constituent.
Representative Gaetz knowingly and willfully sought to impede and obstruct the Committee’s investigation of his conduct.
Representative Gaetz has acted in a manner that reflects discreditably upon the House.
Also, LOL. A wizened Gaetz, looking back with wistful clarity on his scampish, roustabout younger self to when, checks notes, he was … 37.
My 30's were an era of working very hard - and playing hard too. It's embarrassing, though not criminal, that I probably partied, womanized, drank and smoked more than I should have earlier in life.
Who among us, at 35, hasn’t jetted off the Bahamas for some drug-fueled, paid sex parties? Boys will be Gaetzes, right?
Congrats, Scott.
Yes Al. The piece is about how thirsty, now quiet Scott is. I agree there is plenty of virtue signaling in this from people with little virtue. In some ways, Franklin’s silence is that kind of virtue-signaling. But also, Gaetz is a total waste of what I think is a pretty sharp mind. A spoiled rich boy addicted to orgies and gratification and living on the edge with girls/women who lack his capital. A mind without a basic conscience is nothing.
On brand for Morgan I think lol
