If this is true it's an indictment of the entire House as much as Gaetz. People just don't do that stuff out of the blue, and this was apparently common enough that it didn't warrant correcting on the spot.

When you consider the fact that it's mighty coincidental that this came out against one of the most vocal Republican critics of Democrats, an attack dog one might say....together with....the ridiculous and farfetched nature of the photo sharing claims to begin with === it's just not hard to come away from it with complete dismissiveness. Not to mention the seemingly familiar scenario that we've seen all too often: salacious allegations, claims of solid evidence of it, later on coming to find out that they flat out lied about having the evidence they clearly said they had. Trump-Russia immediately comes to mind.

This anonymous source shite is a joke. It's just used to bring down the hammer on someone without real evidence.

But what would these sausages have to fear with a single junior U.S. Congressman?

Maybe one of these sausages was in a relationship with a Chinese spy?

That is what I was thinking. What a bunch or perverts running around the floor showing one another their trophy pics like they are in a frat house or something.

Of course, this is the august body that had a sexual harassment slush fund to pay claims against them with tax payer monies.

The left is some guilty until proven innocent mother frickers.

when it suits them

On the other hand, comey/brennan/clapper etc are paragons of virtue unless the pile of evidence against them is taller than their heads, which gives comey in particular a lot of leeway.

I actually know one of the people quoted in the original NYT story on this. He told me years ago that booze and broads were common currency in DC, even expected as payment by some.

I'll only believe stuff if a media outlet that is relying solely on "anonymous sources" says it.

Amidoingitrightdems?

Leftists just eat that shite up. As long as one nyt,wapo,cnn, MSNBC or abc, claims something, leftists automatically believe it.

I have a family friend who was a US rep for a couple of years and he said whatever you can imagine, it's worse. Booze, drugs and runway model quality "women" are extremely common and they especially like to throw them at the new guys when they first show up in DC. I was just talking about the "this happened on the House floor" stuff. Some anonymous source is trying to act like they're clutching their pearls well after the fact?

I'm skeptical of the story just because of the timing, but if it's true all that tells me that this sort of thing is normal enough that nobody make a stink about it when it happened.

Agreed. It's a full court press. Every day reveals a salacious claim more bawdy than the previous. Never a named source and never any actual evidence.

But it's what the mouth-breathing knuckle-dragging element of society wants to believe and there will never be a shortage of "journalists" to gleefully report it to their ever shrinking audiences.

Sad

Reminds me of that time like ten women came out and accused the governor of New York. Oh...what was his name. I can't remember, it's been so long ago. Totally screwed his career. He had to resign and everything. And wasn't there something else about how he handled something...

I just can't remember.

Yea, ya think? The Ghost of Ted Kennedy says "err-AH, hold my Scatch!"

Barney Frank says "hold my underage boy hot tub."

Bill Clinton says "hold my cigar..."

Gaetz says "hold my iPhone with a shot of this girl's butt-crack I banged...."

Ghost of Kennedy, Frank & Clinton, responding:

If a Dem is caught on video or a recording it's Russian disinformation. If unnamed sources accuse a Republican of anything nefarious it's gospel. That's how this works.
