Ah, so he never said it. And the tweet was doctored. Because if he actually had said that, I'd be more inclined to be on your side of the argument. So I'll just chalk that up to another GWB bullshit propaganda narrative, and stay firmly in the "The man is innocent until proven guilty".
Witness Can Confirm Matt Gaetz Was Told He Had Sex With a Minor One of the key interactions Joel Greenberg claims to have had with Matt Gaetz is a phone call informing Gaetz that they’d been sleeping with a minor. Someone witnessed the call. https://www.thedailybeast.com/witness-can-confirm-matt-gaetz-was-told-he-had-sex-with-a-minor On Sept. 4, 2017, according to his confession letter, Joel Greenberg called his friend Rep. Matt Gaetz with some bad news. A teenager both men had paid to have sex with was underage, Greenberg claimed. Now, two sources tell The Daily Beast, a cooperating witness can confirm details of that call for one damning reason: He was in Greenberg’s office when the call took place. The witness, “Big Joe” Ellicott—Greenberg’s longtime best friend and an employee at the Seminole County tax office—recently pleaded guilty to fraud and drug charges as part of a cooperation agreement with federal prosecutors. Although Ellicott has so far avoided any charges regarding sex trafficking of a minor, which Greenberg pleaded guilty to last May, he was present for the call that Greenberg made to Gaetz on Sept. 4, according to two people briefed on the matter. The call, they said, was short—and Gaetz was the one who ended it. (More at above url)
Well... informed he'd been paying an underage girl for sex, Matt Gaetz did the right thing --- waiting until she was 18 before paying her for sex again. What a stand-up guy.
Good , Now we will see a better candidate win this district.... Is there anyone here defending Gaetz....Nope
And wait, and wait, and wait some more, apparently. Didn't you say there were tapes? Why haven't they released these tapes so we can hear what's on them? Why all the "sources said" and "anonymous" blah blah... Apparently all they are releasing is funny memes and stuff.
GOP is defending him because they have been pretty silent on this matter..... he should resign and avoid any more scandal...
Or they could just be waiting for evidence, given how many times people have claimed something about someone (cough pee pee tape cough) that wasn't true.
