From the report: “The Committee determined there is substantial evidence that Representative Gaetz violated House Rules and other standards of conduct prohibiting prostitution, statutory rape, illicit drug use, impermissible gifts, special favors or privileges, and obstruction of Congress.”

More: “The record overwhelmingly suggests that Representative Gaetz had sex with multiple women at a 2017 Florida party, including the then-17-year-old, for which they were paid… Victim A recalled receiving $400 in cash from Representative Gaetz that evening, which she understood to be payment for sex. At the time, she had just completed her junior year of high school. Victim A said that she did not inform Representative Gaetz that she was under 18 at the time, nor did he ask her age.”

    He was my Congressman, so I’ve been following closer than most. Holy shit did a pile of people throw him under the bus! My eyes were bugging out at all the dirt they shoveled up.

    This article has even more:

    LOL! They got texts and everything!

    Gaetz is a rich frat boy that had never gotten in trouble. The second he got on the national stage he was showing other House members nude pics of the women he was banging. Anyone remember that? LOL, even the GOP wouldn’t have him as AG, and the GOP sets a low bar.

        Wow, I thought it was the closeted, gay cripple that doomed his career by talking about the secret drug orgies. It’s so hard to remember which Republican stabbed the others in the back.
