I will give ol' Matty Boy a tip of the hat for his consistency here, at least...he was the single solitary "no" vote on an law prohibiting using vehicles to traffic children.
Bet he's wishing there were 50 others with zero conscience, morality, or feelings of civic duty, when that vote happened.
I wonder how his fiance feels about this...though she still said "yes" to him after it came out that he had his live in "helper" boy for many years.
I'm sure he's a great guy, though...outside of being a gay-bashing gay pedophile human trafficking liar and cheat.

This is the weirdest interview ever...and Tucker's show and interviews are all weird conglomerations of imbecility and conspiracy theories.
Even Tucker is mystified as to how this went off the rails so far lol. If you want to skip the wild accusations and conspiracies and go straight to the weirdness, skip ahead to 4 minutes.

It all boils down to this - I'm right, everyone else is wrong, and anyone who disputes this is clearly a dumbfuck.

The Republicans seem to do a lot of projecting.

Luckily for Gaetz, the GQP has a love affair with pedophiles, sex offenders, and their apologists...so when Pillow Guy unleashes his bombshell evidence this summer and Trump becomes President in August...
...yes, the GQP believes this will happen...
...Trump can pardon him.
What a cesspool of corrupt froot loops the Republican Party has become. Even with all the money, their own TV networks, and a running headstart, they are still losing left and right.
And just like Trump's big lie, when it reaches the court, if what your are saying then it will be laughed out of court. You know like Trump's big lie was. And these conspiracy theories charges you are talking about came from the DOJ, not the media.

That really doesn't make this guy a pedophile or sex trafficker. If so anyone who has paid for hotel or travel expenses and then fvcked is a sex trafficker? Imagine that there are literally people in this very thread who've paid for a hotel room to fvck 17 year olds in, condemning this guy. Are they sex trafficking pedophiles too? If so aren't they hypocrites?
17 years old is good to go in most states and even Washington DC, and even if he is in one of the 18 year states, that still doesn't make him a pedophile. He might be a creep but not a pedophile. A pedophile is someone who is attracted to children, children are people who haven't obtained the age of puberty yet. A 17 year old isn't a child and people who fvck 17 year olds aren't pedophiles but engaging in normal human sexual behavior.
I'm not saying it's perfectly fine behavior for a member of Congress or that it shouldn't be condemned but describing any and all morally suspect sexual activity as pedophilia and sex trafficking is a moral panic and conspiracy peddling on the level of Qanon. It's how we get masses of people believing insane conspiracy theories spread by nonsensical Facebook memes about sex trafficking pedophiles.
Todd, you are now on the same level as Qanon, being BlueFrank wasn't good enough for you, now instead you are BlueAnon. Congrats?
Here's the sex offender apologist rant, in case you missed it.

Right wing apologist rant for right wing sex offenders.
As noted above, this is what the GQP does...they either are sex offenders, or apologize for all the right wing sex offenders...and, of course, massive projection is part of it.

The Mann Act is frequently used, for its intended purpose, which is to prevent taking minors across state lines for illegal purposes.
If guilty, he didn't "have sex with a 17 year old", he "committed several sexual offenses, including rape of a minor". Don't sugarcoat it, apologist.
Your position is contrary to law.
And speaking of QAnon, you'd think they'd be fuckin ecstatic about this...a sitting Senator, actually trafficking children? It's their wet dream, it's what they've been saying for year is what's happening.
However, just like extremeapologist above, they are defending Gaetz...because he is just being railroaded for being a Trump Cultist.
Apparently only left wing politicians are the ones that are part of the Satanic Cabal to Eat Children.
Gaetz is being investigated by the Justice Department over federal sex trafficking laws, Gaetz and 17 year old
Here's Gaetz' response to CNN:
"Over the past several weeks my family and I have been victims of an organized criminal extortion involving a former DOJ official seeking $25 million while threatening to smear my name. We have been cooperating with federal authorities in this matter and my father has even been wearing a wire at the FBI's direction to catch these criminals." "The planted leak to the New York Times tonight was intended to thwart that investigation. No part of the allegations against me are true, and the people pushing these lies are targets of the ongoing extortion investigation. I demand the DOJ immediately release the tapes, made at their direction, which implicate their former colleague in crimes against me based on false allegations."
