Matt Gaetz tells WP his dates "joined him at campaign events."

[yellowcanine]

Sounds as if he is setting up a cover story for using campaign money to pay for sex.

Front page story in WP print edition April 3.

“I have never paid for sex. I have never had sex with an underage person as an adult,” Gaetz wrote. “I have dated women in college and graduate school, and have boasted about how great they are across the board, as boyfriends do. At times women I have dated have joined me at campaign events.”
People who know Gaetz said his social life and behavior shifted as his celebrity grew.

4. "I have never had sex with an underaged person as an adult."

Time to open up the high school yearbook I reckon.

3. Step 1: Admitting the "dates" happened.

5. the feds have got to love this guy..

towel snapping frat boy Gaetz is emotionally incapable of keeping his mouth shut..and every time he spews a bogus defense he adds another potential charge to his every growing list of possible indictments...no need to spend tax payer bucks on an investigation...just put loathsome Matt in front of camera and he does their job for them...just a matter of time before he channels Brett Kavanaugh and screams "I like young underage girls!"...

6. speaking of Kavanaugh...

...how the heck is he allowed to be a coach (or whatever it is he does) for a girls' soccer team?

8. Kavanaugh and Gaetz have a lot in common...

think he has an Apple Pay account???..again, looking forward to Matt the Sleaze going all screaming Brett Kavanaugh ..."I like young girls..lots of them...two and three at a time..so I pimp them out..what's the big deal?....it's those damn libs I tell you..they're out to get me!"

7. Step 1b. Denying those campaign & congressional expenses included his date's costs.
