The Washington Examiner ^ | October 24 | Madison Dibble

Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz called the ethics investigation into Rep. Katie Hill “absurd” amid claims she had multiple affairs with members of her staff.

Last week, allegations that Hill had two separate affairs with staff members surfaced. The first allegation claimed Hill has a romantic relationship with Graham Kelly, her current legislative director.

The problem is THAT SHE IS DOING A STAFFER. A clear violation of house ethics, ethics set by dem feminists, mind you.

You summed it up perfectly at “idiot, a liar”. You didn’t have to add “democrat”!

I don’t think this is the Hill Matt should die on.

I think he’s trolling the left, personally. Trying to get their heads to explode. He is really, really, good.

Scott Adams will have him on his Periscope podcast TOMORROW MORNING (Wed., 10/30/2019).

Then don’t be a hypocrite and drop any complaints about the supposed use of a vulgar word by Trump some 14 years ago and the unsubstantiated accusations against Kavanaugh.

When dems stop taking the moral high ground when it’s a republican moral failing and excuse every kind of impropriety and debauchery when it’s a dem, then they might, maybe, gain some credibility.

Just lately I have been wondering about Gaetz

(Very concerned he pushed, a few years ago, to overthrow legislation in Florida, that prohibited gays from adopting babies
And it passed)

Tucker made a similar mention tonight in tandem with Gaetz that poor little Katie should ‘do’ whomever and whatever in her private life

They are on the wrong side of this issue, imo

If we’re going to go after govt people for cavorting in the office, we would need to just cover DC in visqueen and introduce carbon monoxide gas.

It is interesting to consider that if he were the one embroiled in this type of thing, her ideology would not only forbid her from offering any support, it would compel her to contribute to the attacks on him.

I agree with both of you.

Republicans' first instinct is to help Democrats out of the jams they create for themselves.

Democrats' first instinct is to bite the hand that feeds them.

I’ll admit, for all the men in Congress you know are indulging their staffs in their staffers—male and female—it does seem like the woman getting caught doing it is the one forced to resign.

Was it the sex act that finished Katie or the NAZI tattoo?

What a f$%^&* cuck! It’s absurd to hold an ethics investigation against someone with security clearance and subject to blackmail due to her extracurricular activities, which also happen to be against House Ethics rules?

I know, every football watching, beer drinking conservative is going to defend Matt Gaetz because of his stunt last week ‘storming the SCIF’, but this guy has stuff to hide of his own, he just said so. It’s embarrassing how soft the GOP is. Flaccid!
