"SNIP.........

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) announced he is filing an ethics complaint against former Speaker Kevin McCarthy following the California Republican’s altercation with Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN), Axios reports.

Said Gaetz: “This Congress has seen a substantial increase in breaches of decorum unlike anything we have seen since the pre-Civil War era.”

Gaetz wrote that “while Rep. Burchett is within his rights to decline to press charges against Rep. McCarthy, your Committee does have a duty to investigate breaches of the binding Code of Official Conduct.”

I have to say even I'm surprised at how silly these idiots are. Their gerrymandering has reduced the caucus to nothing but morons.

Clowns to the left, jokers to the right.

Matt Gaetz showed nude photos of women he said he'd slept with to lawmakers, sources tell CNN

CNN — Rep. Matt Gaetz, the Florida Republican being investigated by the Justice Department over sex trafficking allegations made a name for himself when he arrived on Capitol Hill as a conservative firebrand on TV and staunch defender of then-President Donald Trump. Behind the scenes, Gaetz gained a reputation in Congress over his relationships with women and bragging about his sexual escapades to his colleagues, multiple sources told CNN.

Gaetz allegedly showed off to other lawmakers photos and videos of nude women he said he had slept with, the sources told CNN, including while on the House floor. The sources, including two people directly shown the material, said Gaetz displayed the images of women on his phone and talked about having sex with them. One of the videos showed a naked woman with a hula hoop, according to one source.

“It was a point of pride,” one of the sources said of Gaetz.
