Matt Gaetz under federal investigation over possible sexual relationship with minor: Report
It's an interesting story. We'll see how it plays out.
Gaetz has talked about his family being shook down for money. We'll see if that is true.
He's also freely admitted that when he was single, he paid for plane rides, gifts, etc. for women he was dating or interested in. He denies doing anything with a seventeen year-old. (Which by the way, is legal in Louisiana, illegal in Florida).

@xenon said in PizzaGaetz?:
Yeah - 17 is not that scandalous
Well, in one sense it is...If he paid for a plane ride for her to come visit him and a sexual act occurred, as long as that plane crossed a state line, that is sexual trafficking. Whether he knew she was 17 or not...

Behind the scenes, Gaetz gained a reputation in Congress over his relationships with women and bragging about his sexual escapades to his colleagues, multiple sources told CNN.
Gaetz allegedly showed off to other lawmakers photos and videos of nude women he said he had slept with, the sources told CNN, including while on the House floor. The sources, including two people directly shown the material, said Gaetz displayed the images of women on his phone and talked about having sex with them. One of the videos showed a naked woman with a hula hoop, according to one source.
“It was a point of pride,” one of the sources said of Gaetz.

It was not surprising to some observers that the wagons didn’t circle around Gaetz in the explosive 24 hours after the scandal, even as the congressman produced documents that lent some weight to his extortion claims. “I don’t think a lot of people are going to go out of their way to defend him, especially with this outlandish-sounding defense,” one GOP staffer said. “I don’t think you’ll find a lot of people who are desperate to keep him involved in Republican politics.”
The cartoonishly scandalous perception of Gaetz is so commonplace that sometimes it’s visible, literally, in the halls of Congress. A Hill source sent The Daily Beast a photo of a trash bin outside Gaetz’s office as lawmakers cleared out their offices at the end of a recent session. At the top of the heap was an empty Costco-size box of “Bareskin” Trojan condoms.
"Costco-sized?" Jeebus.

That Tucker Carlson interview was well creepy.
You've got to wonder how guys like that get any votes.

Matt Gaetz’s communications director Luke Ball resigned Friday, days after his boss was accused of having a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old girl and more.
One Hill source familiar with the decision told the Daily Caller that Ball struggled with the choice to depart and did not want to bring further criticism on the congressman, but thought it best to part ways.
“The Office of Congressman Matt Gaetz and Luke Ball have agreed that it would be best to part ways,” a joint statement from Gaetz’s office said. “We thank him for his time in our office, and we wish him the best moving forward.”
Even rats (and not saying that Ball is one, to be clear) know when it's time to jump off the ship.

He also uses too much product in his hair. Looks like an axe commercial.

The pair of them look like sleazy politicians out of a movie.
Again, why would anybody vote for this guy?
Oh, sorry, I'm being emotional again. We should look at his policies.
Proud supporter of Plan 2525. Everything you think, do and say will be in the pill you took today.

Right, because politicians don't spent any time time at all working on how they present themselves, as nobody worries about this.
Watching that Tucker Carlson interview doesn't make you wonder the same thing? He comes across as a sleaze ball. Sure, he's got great policies (I actually know nothing about his policies), but there's a reason we've got eyes and ears.

Finally you've found a Tucker Carlson bit you are comfortable commenting on. Wherein he interviews a politician you're disgusted by.
Education is extremely important.

Actually, I quite liked Tucker's response. It seemed honest, and he seemed pretty repelled by the guy too.
So, when I agree with something somebody says or does I like it. Just like the rest of humanity.

I agree that Tucker is both endearing and honest.

Good lord....can it get any weirder?
https://nypost.com/2021/04/02/matt-gaetzs-alleged-scandals-include-orgies-blackmail-extortion/
An alleged orgy with prostitutes. Accusations of sex with an underage girl. A trophy photo of a woman wearing only a hula hoop. And a convoluted extortion plot involving a likely dead American hostage in Iran.
Even by Florida standards, the Matt Gaetz saga is downright bizarre — and getting weirder by the day.
Before this week, the young Sunshine State congressman and ally of former President Donald Trump was best known, like his mentor, for his ambitious conservatism and promontory coiffure.
But this week, the Republican has faced a daily flurry of scandalous headlines.
Most seriously, he is being investigated by the Justice Department for allegedly having sex with a 17-year-old girl, and for paying for her to travel with him across state lines, potentially violating federal sex-trafficking laws.
Gaetz denies the allegations — but not the fact of the investigation.
Then, on Thursday, CNN alleged that he had shown fellow lawmakers nude photos of women he said he’d slept with, including one photographed wearing a hula hoop, and nothing else.
There have also been claims by two of Gaetz’s enemies that the FBI has photos of him in a “sexual orgy with underage prostitutes.”
Why, yes. It can...
Rep. Matt Gaetz and fellow Florida lawmakers played a creepy, competitive, “sex challenge” game while working at the statehouse ten years ago — in which participants won varying points depending on who they slept with, according to a new report.
Competitors could earn extra points for bedding a married legislator or spending the night at a college sorority house, a female GOP insider told Business Insider in the report, published Friday.
And anyone who slept with one particular conservative female politician “won the whole game regardless of points,” said the source, who spoke to Business Insider on condition of anonymity.
That woman was known as the game’s “snitch,” after the coveted flying golden ball in Quidditch, a magical sport played by young wizards in the Harry Potter book series, the source said.
The source declined to name the “snitch” to protect her privacy, and told Business Insider she “heard specific references of Gaetz being involved and scoring points,” back when he served in the state House of Representatives.
The latest sordid revelation comes just when it seemed that the accusations couldn’t possibly get any raunchier against Gaetz, who is already mired in a federal sex-trafficking investigation.
