A lot of Freepers will be disappointed. Never understood how so many people just ate up the nonsensical allegations against Gaetz and how those allegations came about. It was an obvious attempt to silence him by ruining his reputation. And more than a few on the right fell for it.

Can he now sue CNN MSNBC for slander as they had this out there as fact for days ?
I hope so

[ReleaseTheHounds]

Yes, the old “where do I go to get my reputation back?”. Disgusting!

[Dan in Wichita]

Lots of DNC trolls here on FR. Many of them are volunteers, but I suspect a few of them are on the Soros payroll.

It was an obvious attempt to silence him by ruining his reputation. And more than a few on the right fell for it.

It was an obvious attempt to show other hardcore President Trump supporters in FedGov what was in store for them if they were as outspoken as Gaetz continues to be.

Finally, as with everything especially these days: a lie gets half-way around the world before the truth gets its pants on. Frankly, I'm surprised DOJ followed through to actually get to the truth and indict the extortionist. DOJ has a habit of stopping at the allegations against Trump Supporters and indicting us!

Those Freepers should be deeply ashamed of themselves and they know who they are. I remember how quick they were to toss Gaetz overboard with the reasoning "where there's smoke, there's fire."

Witch hunt!

A lot of Freepers will be disappointed.

You mean the paid far left trolls who have taken permanent residence here on FR to push a far left agenda?

[Fresh Wind]

Yep. Some FReepers actually believed the New York Times and took their word over that of Matt Gaetz.

[Seruzawa]

Rushing to judgement is an entirely common human error. But by now at least conservatives should have learned some restraint. Especially when it comes to proven leftwing liars attacking a Republican.

Same people who gleefully vote for Assistant Democrats.

Thank you. Well said.

Here is proof of what you say on a thread based on the NYT article:

Matt Gaetz Is Said to Be Investigated Over Possible Sexual Relationship With a Girl, 17

[wardaddy]

What do u expect from people who’s mantra is

Headline only

Sound off

And yes I do it too

I did not convict Gaetz though

He likes girls....for sex

The horror

[lucky american]

A lot of Freepers will be disappointed.

Amen. I get a kick out of the freepers that believe a story from the NY times or CNN if it’s disparaging to a republican. We are our own worst enemy.

"A lot of Freepers will be disappointed. Never understood how so many people just ate up the nonsensical allegations against Gaetz and how those allegations came about."

Yes, it was bizarre. A lot of people seemed to hate him because his hair was too slick or his teeth were too white . . . or something.
