Matt Gaetz's Book Praised Trump For Ending 'Family Man' Attitude In White House

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

In a passage from his book that’s now turning out to be a bit of an embarrassment, Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) hailed the end of the “family man” era when Donald Trump moved into the White House.

The Trump era made it a good time to be a “fun-loving” politician, Gaetz said in “Firebrand: Dispatches from the Front Lines of the MAGA Revolution,” which was published last September. He also pointed out the possibly corrupting influence of “D.C. distractions,” which he said “take two forms: Sex and money. Getting paid and getting laid.”

But the lawmaker wasn’t apologizing. He said he had “an active social life, and it’s probably easier in the era of Trump.”

“We’ve had ‘perfect family man’ presidents before, after all, and many of those men sold out our country, even if their wives were happy the whole time,” Gaetz wrote. “If politicians’ family lives aren’t what really matter to the voters, maybe that’s a good thing. I’m a representative, not a monk.”

1. Hooooooo boy. I've never enjoyed a downfall more.

I actually had trouble figuring out what to call it. There’s really nothing to fall down from, no grace to fall from, just a comeuppance that needs to come.

[Irish_Dem]

2. "Fun loving" and "active social life."

Who knew that meant raping teenagers? And pimping them out.

[Cha]

7. Right.. who knew that

was a big clue!

20. Those are what's known as euphemismz, son! *LOL*

What could you possibly expect from a sociopath? Especially one that comes from money - and lots of it - and with a massive sense of entitlement.

I can't tell you how much I enjoy watching him burn.

[EYESORE 9001]

3. It's all fun and games

until somebody gets embroiled in a half-dozen or so investigations - any one of which could land your ass in the can for a lengthy stretch.

[Irish_Dem]

8. His descriptions indicate no concern for the law or the fact he is hurting people.

A complete sociopath.

[Volaris]

11. That's beside the fact that his bash on Pres. Obama is that he's a good family man...

And that therefore, it's just not cool to drug and rape children if that fucking square is in the WH.

I sorta didnt care much 2 days ago.
But I'm going to ENJOY this now.

[Irish_Dem]

13. Yes exactly. Sociopaths think people who follow the law and have a moral core are saps.

And losers.

Trump gave cover to criminals of all sorts.

6. Um, you might want to review your party's website, Matt.

Family Values

The family is the bedrock of our nation. When American families flourish, so too does our country. Our Party’s economic and social policies, including tax reform, education, health care, and the sanctity of life, should always promote and strengthen that most sacred bond.

Why there’s even a link to a whole page about the War on Women. Flipping hypocrites.
