No...read his tweet again. He’s using Trump tactics here. Think about it. Most Cingresscritters have their dalliances paid off by us taxpayers while Katie had to resign and is all over the new. We can’t know the names of the Congresscritters whose claims we paid. Is it because she was with a woman? Democrats, especially Pelosi, hate lesbians, LOL!

Gaetz is not that attractive. He’s a little weird looking, so he probably needs help in the gf department.

Rules are the rules, Matt. And, it’s a new rule for Congress. No F’ing the help.

She’ll be available soon, it appears.

Available as in "Let's have coffee?" or "Go online and schedule your time?"

The new rules was just passed in Feb 2018...

The House voted Tuesday to prohibit sexual relationships between lawmakers and their employees, a remarkable rule change that brings the institution in line with the military and the private sector after a rash of sexual harassment and misconduct allegations roiled Capitol Hill.

The prohibition, pushed by Rep. Barbara Comstock (R-Va.), took immediate effect as Congress moved toward changing the system for reporting and adjudicating employees’ claims of sexual harassment. The House approved language Tuesday establishing an office to advocate for employees during that process and a separate bill requiring lawmakers to reimburse taxpayers when they are involved in workplace settlements.

“Thanks to the #MeToo movement, the American public has made it clear that they have had enough,” said Rep. Jackie Speier (D-Calif.). “They expect Congress to lead, and for once we are.”

AD

The bipartisan bills are Congress’s most definitive response to the #MeToo campaign and the wave of harassment and misconduct scandals that have led to at least eight members resigning or announcing plans to retire in the past four months. Amid a national reckoning over sexual misbehavior in the workplace, news reports exposing lawmakers’ secretive process for settling harassment complaints with taxpayer dollars pushed House leaders to confront criticisms of the system.

“With this bill we are shining a blazing light on the scourge of workplace abuse, which has been allowed to fester in the shadows for too long,” said House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.).

I had to laugh, he also got a DUI driving back from a bar called “The Swamp”, LOL.

He probably hit it too, everyone else did.

I guess i look at other house reps we loved and then kicked them to the curb. Almost all of them. It’s tough around here for a conservative politician. I didn’t know that about Matt but considering his age, not shocking. Millennials are agnostic with gays. Probably cuz they were the first generation seeing them.

Now that Hill has resigned the investigation should be moot, correct?
