***BREAKING*** MATT GAETZ HAS WITHDRAWN HIS NOMINATION

[DemocratSinceBirth]

Allegedly had a menage a trois with a minor and an adult woman.

[Johnny2X2X]

1. Really bad stuff must have been about to drop

Probably proof he was having sex with minors.

[sboatcar]

28. My sources say he got an anonymous email with a copy of the full report

Threatening to disclose it if he didn't drop out. I'm sure it'll end up leaking anyway though.

[Skittles]

49. it REALLY needs to be leaked

so EVERYONE can see what repukes are covering up while whining about trans gals in bathrooms

[TheBlackAdder]

42. I'm sure Trump will pull something. He doesn't like to lose.

[Skittles]

50. why misspell Gaetz?

[In It to Win It]

2. Damn. I was ready for the chaos

[BannonsLiver]

9. Same. Very disappointed.

[yardwork]

16. Tbh, Gaetz was not the worst nominee, by far.

Bob Kennedy and that Russian spy Gabbard are likely to do far more damage.

[BannonsLiver]

19. Agree. Gabbard is the worst.

[yardwork]

23. I think Bob can do the most damage.

But it's hard to distinguish between levels of awfulness.

[SleeplessinSoCal]

34. Not to worry

Chaos is inevitable.

[BannonsLiver]

38. I agree

But Gaetz brought a kind of magic to the job that a Ken Paxton won’t be able to capture.

[IbogaProject]

45. I think alot of these early clown selections are a distraction

I smell a fakeout, where he nominates clowns and later a more useful GOP with the skills to do the damage requested will get nominated.

[Skittles]

52. nope

Trump needs Trump whores to fulfill his fantasy of being a dictator

[Skittles]

51. OH IT WILL CONTINUE

PAM FUCKING BONDI taking his place

[Emile]

3. Okay, time to arrest the pedophile.

[Polybius]

10. They were alleged to be 17, unless a younger one comes forward

Not sure what state it took place, but many have the age of consent at 17.

[GregariousGroundhog]

33. Matt Gaetz represented Florida's first congressional district

If it happened in Florida, Gaetz could be charged. Florida's age of consent is 18.

[bluestarone]

20. Yep Prison first, then add a perjuy charge, then

Fit him with a sex offender charge and bracelet FOREVER!

[Sneederbunk]

4. Put this onTSF's long list of screwups.

[peregrinus]

5. Yup, agree with above poster, this must have been bad

I’d imagine with photos

[Hugin]

6. Oh, goodie!

Now we get to see someone worse!

[maveric]

8. Rudy?

[Hugin]

13. Oh, god!

There are depths to be plumbed!

[BannonsLiver]

12. My money is on Judge Jeneanne or whatever the fuck her name is

[yardwork]

17. Pirro? Aileen Cannon? Lots to choose from...

[Hugin]

22. Lindell needs a meal ticket and...

He’s unburdened by any knowledge of the law. Sort of like Musk and basically anything.

[Fla Dem]

37. For sure Trump will PUNISH us by appointing an even worse character, but I can't think of who.

[Johnny2X2X]

7. Yup a 2nd minor child has come forward

Saying she and another minor had sex with Gaetz.

[Initech]

11. WE GOT HIM!

Woohoo! Fuck you, Fuckface! Fuck you Matt Gaetz!

[Emile]

14. Bwhaha

[jimfields33]

55. Consolation prize is Pam Bondi

[Ziggysmom]

15. Ewwwwwww! Just the thought of him makes me nauseated.

[Quixote1818]

18. And he's out of Congress. Two turds with one stone. nt

[Prairie Gates]

24. He resigned from THIS session

Since he has been reelected, he might ask to be sworn into the next Congress. Not sure what the status of the Ethics Report would be if he did that, though.

[Wiz Imp]

25. Just for the rest of this term. (Until the beginning of January)

He just won re-election to his seat (and didn't resign that yet) so he will be back in Congress come January.

[Quixote1818]

31. Really? Shit! Nt

[Wiz Imp]

32. The details of the ethics report aren't going away

I believe those details will soon come out publicly one way or another. Even everyone in the Republican party in Congress hate him so while he may get sworn back in in January, I don't think he will last long. He will either be forced to resign (again) or be expelled.

[NewHendoLib]

21. Only the best people!

Fucking scum.

Who's Next???

[Dawson Leery]

26. He is guilty of serious crimes.

It is the only reason he resigned.

[Johonny]

27. Do we get to thank Trump

For perhaps ending Gaetz political career?

The first success of the Trump administration

[Skittles]

53. he has already selected another Trump whore

Pam Bondi

[Bo Zarts]

29. HuffPost siren & lights: "GAETZ PULLS OUT"

[Bettie]

30. Well, I hear Rudy is available and

would work for food, since he says he can't afford any.

[Kablooie]

35. MTG has a big opening now! Woo hoo!

[RANDYWILDMAN]

36. So LOCK HIM UP ???

too soon or are we too late


WTF Florida, the DOJ anyone with a pulse, maybe check some stuff out with this guy and don't give him any special treatment or consideration

[NJCher]

39. Gaetz's defense would be

He is the same mental and maturity age as a minor.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

40. Florida is under occupation.

[Renew Deal]

41. Is Boebert available?

[Ping Tung]

43. As expected. He was an ideal distraction for Don's other handiwork of wast and pillage.

[TNNurse]

44. Great, but worried about who is worse that he can choose

[bdamomma]

46. What

a pig!!!

Watching Nicole now. I don't want to see her leave.

okay who's he going to pick from the swamp now'


Senator Sheldon Whitehouse will be on next!!

[Norbert]

47. At least he pulled out early

So no damage,could be done.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

48. Gaetz withdrew after CNN called him about second alleged sexual encounter with the minor

Gaetz knew that he had to withdraw

Link to tweet

CNN drops bombshell news that Matt Gaetz withdrew as Attorney General just 45 minutes after they called to ask him about a SECOND alleged sexual encounter with the minor.

This just got so much worse...

The woman who claims that she had sex with Gaetz when she was still a minor reportedly told the House Ethics Committee that she had two sexual encounters with him at a party in 2017.

This second encounter had not been previously reported and allegedly including another adult woman. Both allegations appear in a civil deposition related to a lawsuit tied to the allegations.

It appears that Gaetz realized this revelation would sink his nomination completely and chose to withdraw to get ahead of the story.

His sudden panicked decision raises an obvious question: Is there more sexual misconduct he hopes to keep hidden?

54. I predict a slimeball of the same stripes and a different name and face, but might as well be this guy

for all that will matter. Maybe Steve Bannon, or Roger Stone. Or what about Rudy?
oh no wait for it. Sarah Huckabee. yeah something on the line of any of these freak nut jobs,

results, will be the same.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

56. Someone is happy
