he claimed not to know the girl. my prediction is that if it turns out to be made up for extortion that others in government were extorted in the same way and instead bent to the extortion. remember there are black mail rings in Washington DC and it could be that most of the blackmail was not cash with other politicians but votes something not as traceable as a cash extortion.

Yes.
He didn’t follow the script. Both sides are angry with him.
McCarthy and Cheney Hate and Loathe him.

McCarthy keeps it up he won’t get to be majority leader.
Transporting “any woman or girl for the purpose of prostitution or debauchery, or for any other immoral purpose”. Chuck Berry spent 5 years in prison for it.
It sure has a stench about it. Very bizarre story. We’ll see how it plays out but I agree, all those “unnamed sources” to sensationalize the news sucks. Journalism sucks.
You’ve got that right, Fd!
It’s not debauchery if it’s just travel
Well that is true. I did say “if all the allegations are true”. I have no way of knowing. I was just saying these allegations are potentially not just a state crime. There are a lot of allegations and hard to separate out. Check out the other thread on the article from The Hill. At least a sometime more reliable source. They claim multiple congresspeople said that he showed photos and videos of various women. Other allegations out there allege that the women claim they were paid for sex (though I am not sure of their age) and that there are records of payments made using mobile money apps.
Roy Moore, call your office.
He isn’t on the GOPe team at all. He’s exposing their grift, and he has to be taken out.
This is the #1 problem of REPUBLICANS...
THEY NEVER STICK TOGETHER TO DEFEND A MEMBER OF THEIR PARTY...and that is one reason this year we left the Republican Party after having been a registered member since we began to vote...over 58 years ago....
WE ARE CONSERVATIVES AND WILL VOTE THAT WAY..GOP AND RNC AND RNCC CAN KISS OUR AMERICAN ASS’S...and the same for Republican members who are always asking for financial assistance...SHOVE IT FOLKS....NOT INTERESTED IN YOU...
Even Trump isn’t defending him.
Don’t have any idea what the truth is, but at this stage of covilizational collapse the deep state Marxists could produce a fake investigation, indict on their preferred narrative, convict and imprison anybody they want too.
GOP never stands with any member regardless how baseless the allegations
Exactly.
From here on if anyone outside of Florida or us 3% well informed people is asked about Matt Gaetz, they either will know nothing about him or they will “know”’that he did something illegal with a 17-year-old girl. That’s why the left makes something then up publicizes it for three straight days and gets the lie out there to be remembered forever.
Question: If Republicans politicians don’t support Republican politicians when unproven accusations are made, why should we support support Republican politicians ever?
Remember all the folks supporting, Newt, the guy from Louisiana, etc. after Bubba was impeached? Me either. They were all afraid. But RATS keep going no matter what. It’s no wonder that twit Scarborough jumped ship. It’s ok to be imperfect.
