Trump and his allies have abandoned Matt Gaetz because they 'aren't surprised' by the lurid sex allegations and 'consider him to be a grenade whose pin had already been pulled

Donald Trump and his allies have stayed quiet on Matt Gaetz

Their silence is deafening as Gaetz struggles to save his political career

Gaetz was one of Trump's top allies on Capitol Hill Trump, who has not been shy about blasting out statements on an array of matters, has yet to send one out on Gaetz

Anyone that has ever spent 10 minutes with the guy would realize he's an unserious person,' one former Trump campaign aide told Politico of Gaetz

[cuban leaf]

This kind of politics really is local. It just gives the MSM something to talk about. Gotta fill that air time with something negative to keep people tuning in. And since that means they can’t talk about Joe and the ho, they have to come up with SOMETHING.

This is it.

[bigbob]

FNC sure got suckered then, and Tucker Carlson too. And they are serious people.

[LibertyWoman]

See that’s how it starts ‘mushrooming’. When people figure out the accusations are lies, they’re off on ‘other’ behavior, other scenarios etc. Now all kinds of other b.s. is surfacing/being fabricated until everyone just gets sick of it and demands ‘whoever’ resign.

[equaviator]

Maybe he could make a living as a TV evangelist. He looks kinda like one, soooo....I’m just sayin’.

[TangoLimaSierra]

I wonder what people in his district are thinking.

Hopefully they realize this is from the Daily Mail and they will wait for actual evidence.

[joshua c]

let me guess, anonymous sources

the smear machine is in full swing

[T.B. Yoits]

The Achilles’s heel of most male politicians is just below their belt buckle.

It's not their genitalia that's the problem, it's their defective brain. The psychopathy of politicians that enables them to say or do whatever their handlers want without any moral or intellectual compunction (and is the reason they were selected) is the same contributor to their other behavioral problems.

[Cen-Tejas]

I totally support Matt Gaetz as of now. What the Daily Mail Lib has to say about him and Trump is of no interest to me.

[KC_Conspirator]

A typical crap reporter, hating Trump for years, prostrating before the democrat party, etc.

[Organic Panic]

One “former campaign aid.”. Sources say.

Regardless we gotta give it democrats’ discipline. Chomo Joe is on video groping little girls and they don’t say a word about that dirty old pervert.

[StAnDeliver]

Bob Kent just validated Gaetz's claims and confirmed he was the extorter -- probably fronting for that old CIA-wannabe -- so EMILY GOODIN can go pound carpet...

[StAnDeliver]

"Anyone that has ever spent 10 minutes with the guy would realize he's an unserious person,' one former Trump campaign aide told Politico of Gaetz"

Says the guy who is out of work.

[ETCM]

So far the extortion claims seem true.

I am concerned about some of the behavior issues reported, but still waiting for facts.

This is where I am. I've always thought Gaetz was a bit "off". Legitimate journalists would be going after the extortion story like pit bulls, while also trying to corroborate the salacious charges. Instead, politically destroying Gaetz seems their only interest.

[RicocheT]

I know nothing about Gaetz but an allegation in the NYT from an alleged source in a secret FBI probe should not be used to get rid of anyone’s’ job, a person, politician or corporate. A fair and open set of facts should only cause this.

[DaBroasta]

I wonder what people in his district are thinking.

Most of us are realize the Democrat war machine and their media allies are working overtime to silence him since he was delivering kill shots to leading democRATs and e-GOPers like Lyin Liz Cheney.

Besides that most folks here know the background, and in some cases have been burned by the notorious fraudster Stephen Alford and his Pensacola lawyer pal. If they're involved it's likely a scam.

[romanesq]

“FNC sure got suckered then, and Tucker Carlson too.”

Not suckered but reeled in by the anonymous sourced NY Slimes article.
There’s no getting around what the Slimes did.

There’s women involved but there may not be any 17 year old. Unless this accounting guy got Gaetz on the hook by giving an underage girl a fake id and telling him she was of age.

This whole thing reeks of a setup. But over a week later, there’s nothing about the alleged victim.

So the NY Slimes succeeded in shutting down the operation against the alleged extorters which have Deep State written all over them.

Maybe that was the only real objective.

[Steve_Seattle]

Waiting for the facts to come out is now “abandonment.” The story creates a narrative based on one anonymous source. That doesn’t work for me.

[TakebackGOP]

The Daily Mail is a leftwing site

[kiryandil]

“The Daily Fail”

“Emily Goodin”

[joshua c]

C’mon man! Its gossip from an anonymous source.

Its not like an actual allegation from a woman. Like say, Tara Reade? Right, Joe?

Why hasnt there been a statement from the woman? Doesnt this usually start with a public allegation?
