Matt Gaetz's past behavior isn't role-model material.
By his own admission, Gaetz, in his 30s was "playing too hard....womanized, drank, and smoked more than I should have."
But that doesn't excuse CNN for its double standard on the subject.
At the end of a segment on today's CNN This Morning regarding the House Ethics Committee's impending release of its report on its investigation of Gaetz, host Kasie Hunt, speaking of Gaetz's activities, dubiously wondered, "in his 30s?" Hunt was apparently suggesting that the 30s are too old to still be a hard partier.
Annie Linskey of the Wall Street Journal agreed, saying, "I know. Maybe in your 20s."
Not so surprisingly, CNN never mentioned two other men who were still partying hard at an advanced age.
By his own admission, Hunter Biden didn't get sober until 2019--when he was 49. And then there's Ted Kennedy . . .

20 January, ALL government funding to the legacy media is OVER!
Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.
PS: Virtually everyone’s familiar with Kennedy’s disgraceful Chappaquiddick story.
There’s sometimes reference to Kennedy’s “waitress sandwich” episode. The label might make it sound like a lighthearted matter. To the contrary, it was utterly sordid and disgusting. Here are the details.
I hope so, for good.
I know people in their 60s who still get hammered a lot. I’ll bet everyone in the CNN news room is a dope smoking drink and promiscuous. Especially this diseased s**t.
If I worked for CNN, my main concern would be getting my last paycheck cashed before CNN goes under.
Let the ankle-biting begin!
John F. Kennedy was a partier until age 46.
He quit partying at that age. Permanently.
Gaetz was my Congresscritter.
We’ve known all about him here for a decade. He was a state Rep in Tallahassee, and his family is very prominent here.
We’ve known Matt and his antics here for a long time. I guarantee you he would still be reelected.................
So did he ever wear a sequin cocktail dress, lipstick and pose for porn films in the Senate???
I wish Matt Gaetz would just take his seat on January 3 and not leave to go to a TV talk show.
RFK Jr. was a heroin addict for 14 years.
Hey, It’s just SEX!!
Where have I heard that before???
Technically he could.
He resigned his seat from THIS CURRENT CONGRESS, not the NEXT ONE.............
Exactly. And the point of all this was what was done was in the past.
JFK never lost his party boy status. Until one November day in 1963.
It’ll be interesting to see how many of Epstein’s and Diddy’s “hard partiers” are older than 29...
Good question.
I want to know what Congresscritters benefitted with that secret fund for wayward Congress dirtbags.
We need to see some transparency for who has been hard partying on the taxpayer dole.
Check out the thread at https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/4285283/posts to see some discussion about how Trump’s plan all along may have been to put Gaetz in the position where he can expose Congress’s use of selective lawfare and selective paying off accusers.
I suspect that Trump nominated Gaetz as AG as bait for the Deep State to make the fatal mistake they just made when they voted to release the Gaetz investigation report. They’ve done this kind of lawfare crap to Trump, J6ers, and now Gaetz, but they tried to mug the wrong people this time, because neither Trump nor Gaetz is going to take it, and on behalf of the J6ers and others and to break the power of the Deep State, they will fight.
I’m praying for this with all my heart.
Sending money to a variety of women with whom you’re had sex isn’t a great look for anyone.
