But to compare consensual conduct between adults to sexual misconduct with a minor is disingenuous.


You do realize that Bill Clinton was accused of sexual assault by several women, right?

Yeah, they're not mutually exclusive. Both of these can be true:

The Dems released this for totally political reasons, most of the report is bs and he did nothing illegal, or at least nothing that would stand up in a court case. And the dems know most of it is bs, they just want to go after the guy and make it look as bad as possible (hence the "trafficking" word being used).


There's also stuff in there that did actually happen and that might cause him to lose his seat or embarrass his family so he resigned in the hopes of keeping it from being released, it just didn't work.

i was in a dispensary in summit county, co a couple years ago. half dozen of us waiting on the couches for our turn to shop. kid walks in and hands the guy his id. guy says "2 choices - you can explain to the cops that this is real, or you can walk out". kid high tailed it out of there. so of course we all asked to see it. looked genuine to me and everyone else. ftr i'm 51 and haven't checked an id in a long time. bouncer said he'd been at this awhile

point being, i don't expect gaetz to recognize a fake id and sounds like this one was even real. i don't care what 2 adults do, but still, if you have eyes on national office, probably shouldn't be paying to bang 18 yr old girls. it's a bad look

Why did he step down from congress?
Why did they not use the slush fund that makes other sexual stories go away? It's because of McCarthy and this whole thing is about McCarthy. I'm sure he was a party animal but if he really hit a 17 y/o you can bet the DOJ would have gone full postal on his dumb arse.

That's funny.

Totally agree. He should stay clear of chasing tail, or doing anything that can be used against you, when in that kind of position. He wasn't married, so I personally couldn't care less about her age. Just stupidly got honey potted.

He rubbed people wrong enough they don't care to toss him under that bus. I just hope he repays them as the majority of folks in Congress aren't staying away from things they shouldn't.

Is the allegation that Gaetz actually checked her ID to verify she was of age and she presented him a fake ID? If that’s the case, I can see why Gaetz hasn’t been charged. The fact that he bothered to check her ID suggests he was trying to not do something illegal.

It's a chess move IMO.
Get everyone clamoring about the release of a Ethics review and the release of the report. Now people start asking why ANY ethics review is kept quiet and swept under the rug. The should be held accountable or exonerated and not keep the whole thing a secret from the public.

Also, what about this hush money slush from we keep hearing about. What is up with that and who has been protected by that?

Democrats are silly sometimes.

IF he is guilty, then I agree. But not because the democrats accuse him of something after he has been investigated by law enforcement who declined to file charges.

And she was in an 18up nightclub

Oh the horror! Gaetz partied and ate Ecstacy when he was younger. Most young people that age in Florida were doing that on a weekly basis through the rave scene when it was massive in Florida

Meanwhile, every fricking Democrat is a pedophile and drunk/druggie

It's a report from the office of congregational ethics. They aren't empowered to prosecute anything . They are a group of ethics lawyers that supposedly helps uphold the high ethical standards (lol) of members of congress by investigating complaints. The house can take action against members, including expulsion. geatz on x

Gaetz said he 'paid women he dated'. The committee report has pages and pages of text messages.

But, as I said before, if he wasn't a member of Congress there was nothing to investigate and the report shouldn't have been released. He resigned and left. Clearly he has enemies.

Should we also denounce Trump and Brett Kavanaugh? After all, the democrats have accused them of rape. I mean, if democrats accuse someone of something it must be true, right?

Hope he can rebound!

Yeah, that is why Trump fought so hard to keep him as his AG nom. He didn't lose a wink of sleep when Gaetz removed himself. Let it go folks and move on. The guy is fking weird and has been exposed for what he is. More important items on the agenda moving forward.
