The lawmaker said the investigation seeks to remove him from office and smear his name. “Asking about my sexual history as a single man with adult women is a bridge too far,” he said.

I’m pretty sure they are asking about your sexual history with underage women, buddy.

Oh my God, that poor man! He must feel like

-checks notes-

Women in the society he helps engineer

NO! If CLEARLY said ADULT WOMEN Libtard! If it was UNDERAGE Women he would have said THAT instead! I do my Own Research!

Yes, I too feel the need to qualify my sexual history by leaning on the term "adult." It's a perfectly normal thing to do.

Okay that is in fact normal to an extent. Adult → legal → none of your fucking business is probably the intended connotation.

Oh but us ladies telling the government when we are having our period is ok.

I think you mean they are asking about his sexual history with kids

It's safe to assume that the "uncomfortable" part is that he's either going to have to admit to soliciting sex with minors or perjure himself, and neither one is going to end well for him.

He could get locked up and nailed under the floorboards tomorrow and it would still be beyond unacceptable how long a child fucker was allowed to be a part of the federal legislative body. I hope he gets everything he earned, any way it comes to him.

Love it or hate it, innocent until proven guilty.

I think the comment above yours was more targeted towards the dumb shits that keep electing him. Why vote for someone that has credible accusations of that nature?

Gaetz ethics........ an oxymoron for the ages

"We performed an ethics probe and found none."

"You mean you found nothing?"

"No, we found a lot. Ethics is the one thing this sentient shitpile has none of. There is no bottom to this monster's moral pit."

Nothing to hide.

insert a political cartoon of an average republican saying "I've nothing to hide" while a trying to hide a mount Kilimanjaro of shit and controversy and illegal behavior behind them.

Good round him up and place him in jail where he belongs.
