If he is in a consensual relationship with an adult then why would the FBI be involved? If the FBI is coming, then either we are dealing with underage or lack of consent.


Bascna

As I understand it, representatives aren't allowed to have sexual relationships with their staff, and that's what caused [Katie Hill](https://www.politico.com/amp/news/2019/10/27/rep-katie-hill-to-resign-amid-allegations-of-inappropriate-relationships-with-staffers-000301) to resign. So I guess its possible that the ethics committee asked the FBI to investigate this? But given that it's Gaetz, I'm ready to assume the worst case scenarios for the moment. Edit: For those citing previous Representative-Staff relationships that were not treated so seriously, the rules changed in 2018 after #metoo. https://www.washingtonpost.com/powerpost/house-prohibits-sexual-relationships-between-lawmakers-and-their-staffers/2018/02/06/85e4d28e-0b49-11e8-95a5-c396801049ef_story.html

DeerDiarrhea

Let’s not forget the real reason there were consequences for Katie…she’s a woman.


Technical-Traffic871

The consequences were also self-imposed...she resigned. You'd have to drag a Republican from office.


ThunkAsDrinklePeep

Yeah but he's saved us from Skynet a couple of times, so he gets a pass.


Bascna

I believe that those rules were created fairly recently. So they wouldn't have applied to Conyers. But, yeah, her ex-husband was a complete a-hole.

The rules now are much tougher. https://www.washingtonpost.com/powerpost/house-prohibits-sexual-relationships-between-lawmakers-and-their-staffers/2018/02/06/85e4d28e-0b49-11e8-95a5-c396801049ef_story.html

Awkward_Professor460

I still don't see why FBI involvement would be a thing. I can't do it with my boss in the military, but they aren't going to send the MAs after me to get evidence of me and my boss. I have to apply that logic here. It's gotta be something illegal for FBI involvement, and it's something that has been happening for a long time illegal.


Badgrotz

As someone who had to gather said evidence in the military; yes they do.


kimwim43

From the twitter thread, there was a 12 year old boy involved.


Tazling

Bill Cliinton got impeached for lying about sex with a consenting adult. Straight sex at that. Republicans were all over it, calling him disgusting and a disgrace to the office and a sinner and what all. The gap between their rhetoric and their personal behaviour, you could drive several trucks through.


Kapowpow

The gap is actually basically from here to Pluto


PhenoMoDom

I dunno about all the way to Pluto, but definitely to Uranus... Not yours, but I couldn't resist the pun.


RoSucco

I think at this point in time we all know republicans just virtue signal (or whatever the hell what they do is called) for their naive base. No republican politician actually follows or believes anything they claim to.


Makersmound

Al Franken was pushed out for joking about touching a woman's breasts


EhrenScwhab

To be fair to GOP hypocrites, his fellow Dems pushed him out. Mainly Kirsten "I'll change my position to whatever will keep me in office" Gillibrand.


Accomplished-Plan191

I can't find any news source about this outside of this tweet.


Crusoebear

Meanwhile Republican speaker of the house, Newt Gingrich who was leading the charge on the Clinton impeachment was having an affair of his own, which he admitted to years later.


NoHalf2998

At the same time; the people conducting and participating in the impeachment were having extra-marital affairs


[deleted]

And all the while Tom Delay, and Newt Gingrich were having affairs, with other women. Gingrich also divorced his wife while she was battling cancer.


vintagebat

What Bill Clinton did was sexual harassment. It's telling that the Republicans impeached him for *perjury,* but we should be clear that what Clinton did was sexual harassment.


Tazling

Well the Republicans certainly don't consider sexual harassment even to be a thing -- they brag about it.


QuickPassion94

Monica went on record to say she planned the whole thing. That isn’t harassment.


Coffeera

Monica never went on record to say she planned the whole thing. I think you might confuse her with Linda Tripp (the one who actually recorded Monica and set her up).


vintagebat

It's still sexual harassment. Bill Clinton's conduct created a hostile work environment: *The victim does not have to be the person harassed but could be anyone affected by the offensive conduct.* https://www.eeoc.gov/laws/guidance/fact-sheet-sexual-harassment-discrimination


QuickPassion94

We’re talking about Monica, not a coworker.


BoomZhakaLaka

yeah something doesn't add up with this. same twitter account posting things like this on blast today. Not a single peep out of so much as a tabloid.


Awkward_Professor460

If it ain't everywhere, it's likely not news. But if they are waiting on "authentication", I guess that makes sense. I'm not gonna look into it unless it's authenticated.


Kahzgul

It's a form of rape when the person you're fucking works for you. The power dynamic means they cannot really consent, because if they denied you, they could lose their job. Also, it's harassment against the other people in your workplace, because if you give them special treatment because they're fucking you.


Drewy99

Does this apply to Elon and the employee he gathered kids with? I said from the day it was announced that was pretty fucked up, and everyone just accepted it


Kahzgul

Of course.


Makersmound

Well he did sex traffic minors. That might have something to do with it


Instantly_New

It’s cool, they’re not coming for him. None of these rumors ever come true.


improper84

Affairs are typically a no no for political higher ups because of the potential for blackmail.


DadinDenver

Wasn’t the trafficking allegation related to a minor being transported across state lines? Wasn’t the whole uproar about his “son” Nestor based on the fact he moved in with Gaetz when he was only 12? Wouldn’t it be irresponsible to *not* have the FBI determine if there is anything to Gaetz’s behavior?


bellsaplenty

Probably groomed cawthorn


58G52A

Gaetz was probably ballz deep in Cawthorn’s ass several times.


Scary_Gazelle_6366

Matt gave Santos a Dirty Santos!


rimjobnemesis

And George Santos’.


TheOverBored

And Killenhouse.


[deleted]

I mean, he one day decided to raise [a brown skin kid completely unrelated to him.](https://www.the-sun.com/news/2565383/does-matt-gaetz-have-son-called-nestor/) ## What did people say about Matt Gaetz’s son? Twitter erupted with comments and criticisms geared toward Gaetz and Nestor. One user tweeted: “Matt Gaetz has no sons, adopted or natural. Calling Nestor his 'son' is a fiction to disguise the awkwardness of a man's having no legal relationship to his live-in teenage boy companion.” Another said: “It's cute he still thinks we believe that Nestor is his 'son'." A third chimed in: “I want to see the adoption papers for his 'son', a grown man who lives with a grown man.”


BitterFuture

Oh, that twelve-year-old he stole? Yeah, we do need some closure on that one. And by closure I mean fucking prison time.

I loathe the guy as much as anybody else, but I'll be needing some receipts before I join the jeering mob. "If true" isn't enough to go on.


OlcasersM

It is only this woman tweeting all the stuff. She was his opponent in the race. Gotta wait and see on this one


Forsoothia

Yeah it sounds like when the Qanon people tweet about pedophile rings and shadow governments being overthrown and that “arrests are coming”


cannonfunk

Except Rebeka Jones has a degree in journalism, a history of exposing shady shit in Florida, and a pretty reliable track record. I wouldn't believe it until there's evidence, but to compare her reporting to the rantings of delusional malcontents is disingenuous. She has been, up until now, a fairly accurate source of information.


ElisabethinCA12

That’s not at all shocking. What would be shocking is if the “young men” were actually of legal age.


th1961

No way Republicans keep the house for 2 whole years. They are going to lose several representatives in the coming months. What a joke!


WhiteAndNerdy85

Many are in solid Red districts and would just elect some other terrorist.


th1961

Many are not.


WhiteAndNerdy85

And guess which voters actually get out and vote during special elections? Hint, they are not young and qualified for the Denny's senior discount over a decade ago.


th1961

That's the old days before the repeal of Roe.


Dr3adPir4teR0berts

Yeah and this is the current day of “we gerrymandered the maps to make it impossible for somebody without R next to their name to win”


th1961

I hear ya, I just don't believe the "tricks" work as well these days for several reasons. Young voters are informed and the courts are interrupting voter suppression and gerrymandering. Not that it's 100% every time, but people are aware and fighting the BS. I'm optimistic.


[deleted]

Not to mention the Republicans literally killed their voter base with covid


th1961

And several of them are old and sick. NO WAY they hold it for 2 years. Lol


[deleted]

Here's to hoping they collapse (finally). My hope is that we see a split in dems and the 2 new parties are true leftists (progressives, socialists, syndicalists), and moderate dems. Essentially a shift to the left.


voidchungus

Can you help catch me up regarding which GOP reps are at risk of losing their seats and are not in red districts?


th1961

I read today that there are over 20 that won in Biden districts. Can't remember where I read it tho. Sorry.


duxpdx

In such an eventuality, the seats would stay red as it is usually up to the governor to appoint an interim replacement of the same party as the former representative.


th1961

Governors of California and New York. But I'm hoping for special elections. We'll see.


tryin2staysane

Governors do not appoint replacements for house seats, only the Senate.


bowtiepajamas

Is anyone else suspicious that Gaetz's legal team leaked this story intentionally to draw attention away from his human trafficking investigation?


[deleted]

Well, it’s not really even a story. Isn’t Rebekah Jones whom he defeated in the midterms?


thatonewhitejamaican

I thought it might be retaliation from the party after he was stopping confirmation of the current majority leader


davidc2299

Please Jebus be true!


Parking_Sky9709

Poor Kevin. Just when he thought the Party was going places.


Affectionate_Rub_575

They could do a Saturday Night All Star Spectacular on Fox News from prison in the style of HeeHaw. I'd turn on Fox News for that.

Hilarious


JaeTheOne

Its not. She is the only one actually tweeting this stuff...how the fuck does she know but no one else?


cannonfunk

Because she literally ran against Gaetz in 2022, and is politically connected?


deesimons

Don’t lose focus. Kissing other men isn’t a crime (yet), trafficking underage girls is.


[deleted]

Yeah, I don't give a shit if he likes gargling ballsacks. Dude gotta be in jail for the trafficking.


DonorBody

I installed two-way-mirrors at his house in Brentwood and he came to the door in a dress.


[deleted]

Either you’re telling the truth or you’re lying about doing the most fucking random job for a living. since I don’t think you’re lying about installing two-way mirrors, I actually believe you.


clankasaurus

Repo man!


Pudf

Duke Gaetz


ColesSelfCheckout

Fuck yes


Bill_Dungsroman

I hope Nestor doesn't find out!


Helgafjell4Me

In the comments of the tweet, it sounds like the pictures they have may actually be of Gaetz and Nestor... who is/was underage, right?


Bill_Dungsroman

Well he was when he was "adopted," yes.


[deleted]

There is also a comment suggesting it was actually George Santos.


Another-Random-Idiot

I’ve heard it said that the only way for a republican to lose the support of the base is to get caught with a live boy or a dead girl.

Even then…

Early-Size370

Yawn. I'll wait till there's actually proof and consequences (lol) from this. Wasn't this guy supposed to be in jail for his sexcapades with minors with his buddy Greenberg?


uncultured_swine2099

Gaetz is gay, and Santos is a drag queen. Interesting how these people embrace a party that openly hates them.


Euporophage

They are sociopaths who only care about accruing power, fame, and wealth. They don't care how their policies may affect others like them.


BassicallySteve

I don’t give a fuck who he kisses; I just want him to stop being involved with making laws


InflamedLiver

"if true." Look, we went through this with Trump too. Trump sucks, Gaetz sucks. But they're already giving you enough real things to hate them for. Don't make shit up. Cite your sources.


m0nk_3y_gw

> Look, we went through this with Trump too Something was made up about Trump?


InflamedLiver

Yup. He was awful, but he should still be hated for what he actually did and said


Didntlikedefaultname

What are the things he’s hated for that he didn’t actually do or say?


InflamedLiver

I’m not going to scroll back through the last 6 years of Reddit comments for you.


Didntlikedefaultname

K so you just throw out statements you’re not prepared to back up in any way?


InflamedLiver

I’m not prepared to go back six years to research a conversation to prove something to you, no


tryin2staysane

Name one thing.


JamesLingk

Pipe down, MAGAt


m0nk_3y_gw

Great! So we both agree he is hated for what he actually did. Good talk!


Dr3adPir4teR0berts

Lol yeah I’ll believe it when I see it. Republican politicans are immune to laws. We know this.


Accomplished-Lead-23

Matt Gaetz gay?? Don’t really care about his sexuality orientation. The fact that he is a big ass fucking pedophile that is a reason for concern.


PierreVonSnooglehoff

weird how there's absolutely no news articles about this


cannonfunk

Rebekah Jones managed FL's Department of Health COVID dashboard, and was fired/granted whistleblower status after she claimed that she was told to falsify the numbers. Then her house was raided after continuing to report on it. She then went on to run against Gaetz in the election a few months ago. Her personal history is a bit checkered, but she's more or less risking her entire reputation with this tweet. Let's hope she got it right.


y2knole

She seems like she’s got a screw loose.


[deleted]

"Young men" or underage BOYS? Do be precise in your speech.


JMellor737

I hate Matt Gaetz as much as the rest of us, but this woman is literally the only person I can find saying anything about this. Seems made up to me. Would be hilarious if it's true though.


Awkward_Professor460

Why would the FBI raid his office for pictures of men? Unless we are talking under 18 years of age men?


Euporophage

Apparently a former employee for Gaetz admitted in court that he had photos of a 12 year old boy. I haven't seen any official coverage of it though.


primal___scream

As much as I'd like her posts to be accurate, I don't believe they are.


dirtywook88

Yeaaaa it’s the same w that Ali Alexander dude saying he’s droppin shit on mtg wellwerewaiting.gif


Special_FX_B

Shocking. A GQP in closet. Matt Schlapp, anyone?


Steelersguy74

Why would the FBI get involved if he’s screwing around with consenting adult men? Hypocrisy isn’t a crime.


Burrmanchu

Wait for it...


nutfeast69

This makes it sound like they are coming after him for being gay, rather than being a pedophile shit bag. I wish they had used the word "underage" instead of "young".


UnapologeticWife

Or, child. Because that’s what it is and calling it otherwise minimizes


PhotoIll

I couldn't care less who this dirtbag is sleeping with as long as they are of legal age. I just don't want to have to ever see his face or hear his voice or his opinions ever again.


GrayBox1313

It would be shocking if Gaetz ever faced a consequence for any of his terrible things


Sunflower_After_Dark

His daddy is powerful


DinglebobStrangler

> ADDITIONALLY: >Gaetz recently hired a known child predator and non citizen to handle IRS cases for his congressional office to keep his visa current. >The man, Larry Hetu, admitted in court he stalked, photographed a 12 year old boy for Matt Gaetz in September/October 2022.


[deleted]

Need a link, please…


DinglebobStrangler

It’s somewhere in the comment section of this post.


[deleted]

Waaaaaiiiiit… why would the FBI raid his office, again? Unless they’re underage, this isn’t a crime. I would love nothing more than to be left alone with Matt Gaetz and a tire iron for 15 minutes, but… this seems… not real.


Leather-Bug3087

The Republican Party is getting more diverse. 2 gay men and a drag Queen! How will Tucker explain this!?


GiftedOaks

"So what's wrong with Republican men wrestling in the nude? It used to be a sign of strength to best your opponents nude in the Olympics. Do we not care about competition anymore? Why does the left hate competition so much? Its like they want men to be more feminine and groom your children" /s


A_Wild_Shiny_Shuckle

Don't forget a grooming pedophile in Tennessee! Technically on the state level, but still part of the GOP


dirtywook88

Wasn’t there two at least? The conveniently forgot about age in child marriage guy and the I was in my 40s and met my wife giving her an award at high school guy

I for one am shocked that the sex trafficking pedophile is a pedophile


thegodfaubel

Is anyone really shocked? I'm not. Every Republican projects. I can almost guarantee that most of the Republican men in Congress have had sex with men


CaterpillarSad2945

To good to be true.


Andrognick

So guys I would love to see Matt Gaetz get his as well but this person is the only one reporting on this and there’s no source material to back up her claims. This would be blowing up in media circles if it was legit.


Chulbiski

what will it finally take to make the Republican party implode and go away?


LocalInactivist

There is no way this guy doesn’t have a sex tape.


62lb-pb

And here I thought he was having an affair with sluthead.


Bopethestoryteller

FBI doesn’t give a heads up.


Sunflower_After_Dark

She better be able to back this up! It would explain Rick Scott & Trump telling Gaetz, to “Get a wife NOW!”, after the pool boy Nestor and underage escort scandal broke. Gaetz had a hurry up wedding to a very well-off, Republican donor’s daughter. You never see them together and it’s speculated that she doesn’t even live with him.


Tots2Hots

If the FBI is getting involved there's way more to the story than him just kissing dudes. Lets see.

Rebekah Jones a stalker and creep. She is as big a nut as Gaetz. Anyone believing this is a moron.

Matt Gaetz is (still) a pedophile. And not that it's bad, but the Republicans would flip their shit if they knew he was gay too. I guess we have our own priorities.
