Former Rep. Matt Gaetz, a Florida Republican who briefly stood to become President-elect Donald Trump's nominee to be attorney general, was found by congressional ethics investigators to have paid numerous women — including a 17-year-old girl — for sex, and to have purchased and used illegal drugs, including from his Capitol Hill office, according to a final draft of a comprehensive investigative report obtained by CBS News.
Bummer that voters will forget about this by the time the mid-terms roll around. The Republicans fought tooth and nail to keep this under wraps in full knowledge that Gaetz was participating in the rape of minors.
(The drug use I couldn't care less about, and I'd argue that no one should.)
I wouldn't care about the drug use either except that 1) it's illegal 2) it's an ethics violation 3) he was going to be attorney general.
If Rapey McHairdo had a (D) after their name they would be in jail
You're welcome to your opinion. I think all drugs should be legal, personally.
I am not disagreeing about the drugs. My point was their legality. If I am sworn to uphold a set a laws and I do not, then I am a hypocrite. If I swear to abide by a code of ethics and I do not, then I am a hypocrite.
I believe that drugs should be legal and health care should be free.
I also believe that Matt Gaetz is a rapist piece of shit.
Thank you. I understand your meaning.
I don't hold the law sacrosanct when it's observably stupid and oppressive.
