Let's not forget what doing this means for the women in the photos. It's degrading, humiliating, emotionally traumatic, and almost always happens without their consent.

Matt Gaetz definitely did not show me all the nude photos and videos he has of the troubled teens he slept with! Naked girl twirling a hula hoop? He definitely didn't show me that one 17 times on Air Force One, believe me! #YoungPervertsSociety #PizzaGaetz

No one seemed to care about poor Nestor either, with all the snickering and innuendo I saw here.

And it’s a crime. Unless you have permission to show them, showing naked videos and photos of others is a crime. It falls under revenge porn laws.

I've thought before that Gaetz always seemed to be auditioning for a slot in the Trump family. He's very Trumpian.

The Apprentice

Matt Gaetz learned everything he knows about sex, money and politics from Donald Trump



While the dumbing down of the GOP has been going on for years (Sarah Palin mixed reality TV stupidity with lies and corruption, Romney and Ryan ran a campaign based almost entirely on Alternative Facts), perhaps no one over the past four years has embodied the dumb new age of Trumpism quite like Florida Congressperson “Kinky” Matt Gaetz.

I began the #KinkyMatt hashtag last year when some very serious “oppo research” about Matt Gaetz started surfacing on the internet. As the worst allegations from Matt’s college days have not been verified, I won’t repeat them here. But even a brief survey of Gaetz’s highly privileged formative years reveal a life of drunken debauchery and DUI, the attempted bribery of a hotel clerk to get into a sleeping state lawmaker’s room, the allegation that he created a “sex game” (with points for sleeping with staff) while he was a Florida state Rep., the fake “adoption” of a Cuban boy he still claims as his “son,” some weird tweets about sex, and, prior to the news of Bill Barr launching a sex trafficking investigation into Gaetz becoming public, a strange and sudden engagement to a woman who lives on the West Coast and calls him her “travel buddy.”








As news of the sex trafficking investigation broke this week, Gaetz attempted to get ahead of the story by appearing on Tucker Carlson’s Fox News show and also bragging to Axios about what a “generous” lover he was during his single (pre-engagement) days. What Nestor, “the son he loves,” thought of it all, we don’t know.

Choice line:

The meanest member of Congress hails from a town called Niceville, a sleepy enclave of about 15,000 nestled on Choctaw­hatchee Bay, just off the Gulf of Mexico.

Gaetz family background is colorful, to say the least.

And who wants to bet that Gaetz regularly shared pix and video with his mentor in the White House?
