In a stunning interview Sunday morning on CNN, Rep. Tony Gonzales, a Republican congressman from Texas, accused fellow Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz of having sex with underaged girls.
"It's my absolute honor to be in Congress, but I serve with some real scumbags," he said. "Look, Matt Gaetz, he paid minors to have sex with him at drug parties."
This comes just a few weeks after former Speaker Kevin McCarthy said something similar at an event at Georgetown Univeristy.
"I'll give you the truth why I'm not speaker," McCarthy said. "It's because one person, a member of Congress, wanted me to stop an ethics complaint because he slept with a 17-year-old."
The Justice Department began its investigation into Gaetz in 2020 after his former friend Joel Greenberg told investigators that Gaetz paid a 17-year-old for sex and to travel across state lines with him.
Greenberg, who was also under investigation, pleaded guilty in 2021 to six federal charges, including sex trafficking of a minor.
The Justice Department ended up declining to bring charges against Gaetz due to credibility issues with witnesses.
But Gaetz was recently subpoenaed by the then-underage woman he was accused of having sex with.
His deposition in the case is currently scheduled for June.

Notice, unlike dozens of other stories, we don’t have to work and sweat on internet search engines to find out the political party for this guy. First word is “Republican.”
There were some FReepers who had no problem with Pete Rose dating a 15 year old. Turns out she really was just 14. He was married at the time with 2 kids.
I remember. It was Lindsey Graham who threatened Trump not to fire Mueller too.
And the guy doing the searches before you was Joseph Robinette Biden Jr.
If Gaetz was 18 and the girl was 17, I really don’t care. If he is in his thirties paying a17 yr old for sex at drug parties. He wouldn’t even be a dog catcher.
I’m pretty sure he was cleared of all these charges. Matt needs to sue him.
18 years old? Who cares ?
19 years old ? Who cares ?
You cant even drink until you’re over 21 or even rent a car !
I doubt the story is true anyways .
Look at where Texas 23rd congressional district is located. That should tell you everything you need to know.
For the McCarthy fans, Kevin told house leaders that Putin paid Trump
While POS McCarthy was back-biting Gaetz and MTG today on Fox News, she was knocking it out of the park an hour later. I have a new appreciation for her.
I could care less about criticism: Marjorie Taylor Greene

This isn’t a guess. You got it on the head. He is getting primaried by a Texas 2nd Amendment YouTuber...Herrera I believe.Hopefully Gonalez won’t be in the next Congress!
That is correct!
I don’t know if I trust Gaetz but don’t trust Gonzales.
If Republicans fought DemocRATS as hard as they fight each other they might accomplish something.
Says the man who voted for the sham J6 committee.
Stupid dims.
Gaetz is a fighter and if the dims continue with this, he will expose every one of them in a way that they will be out of Congress.
The dims are putting their heads in the lion’s mouth.
“They are like a bunch of damned cornered sewer rats.”
What do you mean “like”?
I decided to take a weekend off from following this disgusting mess in the Hosue, and ended up with what can only be a truly God-sent trail for. me to follow.
Years ago, I used to listen to someone who often appeared on late night radio... Art Bell, for those of you old enough to remember back in the 90s.
Malachi Martin? Anyone but me remember hearing his 7 or so interviews? I had read some of his books back in the late 70s, or so, mostly his non-fiction ones.
Anyway, Malachi Martin wrote a book in the 1990s, mostly fiction about 2 inches thick, which I passed by. It was prophetic, it now turns out, and he fictionalized his years in Rome, describing what has happened to the RC church, and the parallels between the nasty internecine wars between the traditional orthodox Bishops, and the “modernists” who now want to mainline homosexual behavior, transgender stuff, ordaining women, Satanic rituals in the Vatican, etc... I am gob-smacked.
Literally, after reading how the renegade Jesuits, (whom Malachi Martin abandoned, and described their apostasy and politicization of the faith), started promoting rumors about how Martin was “womanizing” etc, and then (shades of Arkansas) there seem to have been some rather suspicious murders of priests and bishops who were fighting the Jesuits’ plan to “modernize”, including Martin himself, who appeared to have been pushed down a flight of stairs while in a wheelchair to prevent his latest book from being published....
The parallels to the crap that is going on in D.C. are striking. And, it doesn’t surprise me one bit that false allegations about Gaetz would be spreading now. It is standard practice, to look back at the stuff that was slung at the nominees for the Supreme Court, going right back to the Thomas hearings!
Remember who chaired those hearings? Do you want to see a real slime ball in action? Watch “younger Joe Biden stuck a knife in Thomas, and smirked as he did it, all the way through those hearings. I watched them all, and it turned my stomach.
We can’t sit back and put up with this or we will get what we deserve for not fighting back.
I have no idea whether Gaetz is as pure as the driven snow, or corrupted beyond belief. I do not know the man. I do know the behavior of all these democrats and some of the corrupted or blackmailed republicans, and now I am adding Mike Johnson to the list of spineless scaredy cats, who wallow in “niceness”, believing that turning the other cheek is the way to salvation.
I am sick of them all, and sad that we have let this go on so long. The death of our nation is at hand, and we are partly to blame. Rant over.
Thanks for giving me a place to hang out all these years, watching since the Clintons came to power and all this started.
I am getting to the point where I do not have much hope left that Trump will be able to fix it. I do think “they” will take such awful action that they would burn this country down rather than give up their corrupt power.
Don’t take anything I say as anything other than my total disgust, but do go and watch any of the YouTube discussions on Malachi Martin, particularly from those who are upset about the present apostasy going on.
And, remember, I am not a Roman Cathlic. I left the Episcopal church back in the 60s when they decided to go nuts and “modernize” the faith to accept all sorts of unbiblical sophistry... The RC church is going to fall apart too.
It was Lindsey Graham who threatened Trump not to fire Mueller too.
***********************************************
The same Lindsay Graham that is on Trump’s SC campaign leadership team?
Yeah, I remember Art Bell. Not a huge fan of a lot of his stuff and guests, but I really liked and believed Malachai Martin, and read a couple of his books.
I want a basic minimum of getting facts right when making posts like this.
If Macho MAGA Man is going to post threads like this, he owes it to the rest of us to get basic facts right, like the names of the people he's posting about.
He can complain all he wants about "Mike McCarthy" at his dinner table every night, but the article he posted actually says "This comes just a few weeks after former Speaker Kevin McCarthy said..."
If the OP can't bother to read the story he posted or remember the names he quoted from the story he JUST posted, then I will defer debating the pros and cons until I have confidence that the OP has full command of the facts, too.
