I hate this POS, he’s a nasty right wing gadfly do-nothing click baiter. But… his main offenses seem to be buying sex, and then buying sex from a girl that lied about her age.
I’m all for buying sex, legality be damned. In the right context all parties are willing beneficiaries of the worlds most awesome thing: sex. And when I buy it, I assume that the sw is telling the truth about their age. 17 vs 18 seems like splitting hairs, but then you have to draw the line somewhere. It’s hard to blame a guy who thinks he’s fucking a legal age sw when he is being tricked into fucking one that isn’t.
Maybe it’s worse bc as a congressman he’s trying to act like he is upholding the laws of our country, when he actually isn’t, even though one of those laws (prohibition of prostitution) is self righteous bs in this particular case.
I don’t feel sorry for Matt Gaetz, see my opening comments. But this scandal rings false to me.


I’ll add that $90k to 12 women over 5 years works out to $1500 per sw per year. If he saw Jeannie in January 3 times, Francine in February 3 times, and Marcie in March 3 times etc., that sounds pretty reasonable at going rates. So I certainly believe that he did it.
