One thing that is fun about this Gaetz propaganda is pointing out the media smears and calling out these low life scumbags.

Hypothetically, assuming this person time travel from when they were a minor to the present, could this make him potentially guilty? We need Doc Brown to clarify.

I don't believe any of the media. The FBI DOJ is tainted so far left they are inept in anything but political activism, so who knows...

Why would they even release this garbage?

Every adult is a former minor or maybe they don't realize that

Can you read?

It doesn’t say she was over 18. It says a woman who asked to remain anonymous said she was over 18.

I guess we suddenly take anonymous sources as facts now because its convenient for our “side”.



Before y’all get bent out of shape, I think its all a hit job on Gaetz. But im also not falling all over myself twisting the english language to use a politco article as proof he is innocent.

They actually did a decent job of just reporting the story as is. Which is why they stated it that way. They reported both sides - there are accusations she was under age, and there is someone (anonymously) confirming she wasn’t.

That's exactly the correct takeaway. Once you have seen the writer is willing to play such games everything else they say is suspect.

It's been amazing to see how "journalists" have given up trying to preserve their credibility.

Uh, how is this nailing Gaetz again? He banged an 18 year old.

I see PolitiHo decided to try to smear DeSantis a bit, too, in their trash hit piece.

There's a part of me that still find all this amusing that likes to imagine the "reporter" who decided to use that term sitting there laughing at the thought of typing it out, knowing exactly what it meant, and doing it any way


These people have no self awareness. There’s no laughing at themselves. There’s literally someone on this thread defending, and not using sarcasm font, the idiocy of using the term “former minor.”

Newspeak is truly upon us.

Maybe she was a spy? The left forgives that....
She was a non spy right up until she became a spy. Kinda like a former underage female was underage right up until she was of age.

are they desperate to muzzle Gaetz or what?


They are. And then they will isolate, focus on and work on the next target. I feel somehow they will try and get rid of Ted Cruz. I suspect they will get on him about being corny.

There is also a ton of people in this thread suddenly believing anonymous sources as fact without the slightest bit of self awareness and irony.


I think its true she was 18, but i dont think an anonymous source proves anything.

What's wrong with a former assumed homosexual in Swalwell having sex with a former non-spy Chinese lady?


We don't actually know that she didn't use a strap-on with Swalwell.

I don't think "busted" is a gender acceptable term. Readers here should take appropriate offense.

Anonymous sources > no sources. BARELY.

Both still suck, lol. Plus it's PolitiHo - they lie for a living about everything.
