Summary
The House Ethics Committee found “substantial evidence” that former GOP congressman Matt Gaetz engaged in statutory rape, prostitution, drug use, and obstruction of Congress.
The report alleges Gaetz paid a 17-year-old for sex in 2017. Gaetz denies the claims, citing no criminal charges from a prior DOJ investigation.
He filed for a restraining order to block the report’s release, calling it “unprecedented overreach.”
Despite GOP resistance, the bipartisan committee voted to publish the findings after a four-year probe into alleged misconduct, including payments tied to drug-fueled sex parties.
Why not just out law prosecuting white, rich, powerful, protestant, Anglo-Saxon men who are registered GOP?
Seems like an easy way to avoid this headache if they are going to do whatever the fuck they want anyway
