Daily Kos: The floodgaetz are open: Matt Gaetz growing scandal is a threat to the whole GOP

[TheBlackAdder]

.

This article brings up a bunch of points, including why having Nestor in the house might have been for child access and to provide an excuse why teenage girls could be in the house. Yikes!

The prospect of Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz being hoisted by his own “family values” petard is certainly enticing. And when that scandal comes complete with ABC News reporting that Gaetz was a member of a “group of young male lawmakers” who turned scoring sex with “interns, staffers or other female colleagues” into a game, and The New York Times is reporting that Gaetz continued soliciting women for paid sex well after he announced his engagement, all the elements are certainly there for for an atomic wedgie level of hoist.

However, the growing scandal around Gaetz is not something that took place in a vacuum. In addition to Gaetz and Florida Republican Joel Greenberg, there’s at least one other unnamed Republican official involved in this sex trafficking ring. More importantly, there are a lot more unnamed people involved—like the women who Gaetz, Greenberg, and associates paid to travel across states for the purposes of having sex. At least one of these women was reportedly under the age of 18. There may be more.

As the story expands, so does the possibility that Gaetz was involved in repeated acts that were both more serious, and more extensive, than early reporting suggested. That includes new information that indicates that Gaetz may have been directly involved in providing false IDs to the underage targets of his sex trafficking organization.

The more I read this and other articles about how Gaetz might have secured women for other men, this is not looking like #GaetzGate, but more like #EpsteinGaetz

1. May the consequences not be kind to this arrogant creep.

[Escurumbele]

5. Amen...That was a prayer, right?

Didn't know if it was missing the "Amen"

[bucolic_frolic]

2. The threats to women weren't transwomen in same sex bathrooms

It's a GQP Congressman with more money than he knows what to do with.

6. bathrooms

3. Wouldn't it be nice to have a gigantic republican SexGate rather than just a SexGaetz.

Just imagine the ads leading up to the 2022 congressional election.

[meadowlander]

4. Dear "group of young male lawmakers"... remind me why the GOP impeached Clinton again?

[dlk]

7. Republican projection didn't begin with Trump...

[Escurumbele]

8. That is funny, but very true.

Almost every week we find out about a republican creep doing the things they accused Clinton of (yes, Clinton did it).

As a matter of fact, during Clinton's impeachment there was one loud republican who was found out to be having an affair while yelling for Clinton's head, was his last name Livingston?

Hypocrites, all republicans...

[Hekate]

10. Newt Gingrich & others

[ms liberty]

18. Henry Hyde

It was kind of disgusting how he tried to excuse it by saying his affair was when he was a "young man " of 40. I was about to turn 40 at that time time, and I was royally pissed that he was insulting my intelligence with that garbage.

9. PizzaGate. Equals. Projection.

For quite some time now, the favored GQP tactic regarding many issues has been pure DARVO.

Ever notice how the Religious Reich is obsessed with Pedo's? With Transgenders? With Homosexuals? Catholic Priests, anyone?


Most MAGAts are Confederates. Regressive Antebellums. Poor White Trash. Poor White Supremacists.

For centuries, slave rape, pedophilia, incest, and inbreeding have been fairly common South of the Mason Dixon line.


DARVO refers to a reaction perpetrators of wrong doing, particularly sexual offenders, may display in response to being held accountable for their behavior. DARVO stands for "Deny, Attack, and Reverse Victim and Offender." The perpetrator or offender may Deny the behavior, Attack the individual doing the confronting, and Reverse the roles of Victim and Offender such that the perpetrator assumes the victim role and turns the true victim -- or the whistle blower -- into an alleged offender. This occurs, for instance, when an actually guilty perpetrator assumes the role of "falsely accused" and attacks the accuser's credibility and blames the accuser of being the perpetrator of a false accusation.

13. So where are the Qanon cries of pedophiles here? Oh i guess it doesnt apply when its one of their

Own.

[Botany]

14. Isn't Trump married to a Slovieania prostitute/sex worker?

The party of "family values" is just a front.

[PortTack]

15. He says he won't resign..I say good! They will have to expel him..not the look they were hoping for

I’m sure that advice is courtesy of the other child endangerment congress person from ohio, and of course margarine.

What a shabby bunch of yahoos!!

[cachukis]

16. I suspect this is the stuff that has made so many of my repub friends

libertarians. They think they can rearrange their spots. They are trying to hide in the hills or crawl back under their rocks. They don't see the humor in my mocking.

[70sEraVet]

17. Maybe he can take Limbaugh's old slot on the radio

He has the face for it!

[kwijybo]

19. #EpsteinGaetz sounds like a venerial disease

that I hope the entire QOP gets infected with. Maybe they already have it. After all, the whole 'Q' plan sounds like the rants of someone with end-stage Tertiary Syphilis.

21. Could be the way people walk when they have a burning in their nethers.
