2. 'A 10ft pole is not long enough': Matt Gaetz isolated in sex-trafficking scandal

From The Guardian:

The Florida Republican congressman Matt Gaetz appears increasingly politically isolated amid a spiralling scandal over a federal sex-trafficking investigation. Even for Donald Trump, one Republican political operative said, “a 10ft pole is not long enough”.

Federal prosecutors are reportedly examining whether Gaetz and a political ally facing sex trafficking allegations may have paid underage girls or offered them gifts in exchange for sex.

Few Republicans have rushed to offer any kind of support to Gaetz, a three-term conservative provocateur known for support of Trump, high-volume attacks, sometimes against those in his own party, and frequent media appearances.

The Associated Press reported that several lawmakers and aides who spoke on condition of anonymity said Gaetz’s prospects for remaining in Congress were complicated by his unpopularity in his own party.

Shocking that Trump isn't showing Gaetz any of the loyalty that the ex-president is known for, isn't it?

since he thinks he's the president.

It just won't do any good.

Gaetz is such a dumb goober that he'll use it as a basis for a lawsuit to get out of jail or community service or house arrest or whatever.
