Matt Gaetz Paid Accused Sex Trafficker

Daily Beast: “In two late-night Venmo transactions in May 2018, Rep. Matt Gaetz sent his friend, the accused sex trafficker Joel Greenberg, $900. The next morning, over the course of eight minutes, Greenberg used the same app to send three young women varying sums of money. In total, the transactions amounted to $900.”

He said he'd never paid for sex, and he hasn't. He paid someone else to pay for his sex. Completely different thing. Exoneration under the legal principle "tap-tap, no tap-backs" cited on playgrounds everywhere since time immemorial.
