“You Can Kiss My Ass:” Pretty Much Everyone Hates Matt Gaetz Now
The far-right representative has plunged the House into chaos—and turned his own party against him.

People hate child rapist Matt Gaetz? Republitards loved him when he was fucking a little girl, but hate him after fucking an old man. It tracks.
hate him after fucking an old man.
With consent, I seem to recall. One more reason they don't like him.
Oooh solid point.
I hated Matt Gaetz before it was cool.
Right? Some of us draw the line at trafficking children.
I remember when this weasel helped to storm a SCIF for a little stunt.
Add that in with J6 and plotting a coup, and yet: these assholes have the BALLS to pretend to be upset about someone pulling a fire alarm.
The growing anger towards Gaetz is unlikely to help him as Republicans weigh whether to expel him from Congress.
Ha fucking ha. No they won't. There's still that weirdo liar Santos. If they still haven't done anything with him, I seriously doubt they'll do jack dandy to teen sex trafficker Gaetz.
What will it take for republicans to expel one of their own? Apparently child trafficking isn’t it.
Donating GOP funds to the poor probably
The Realpolitik of the situation is that if they expel Santos, he gets replaced by a Democrat immediately, who will swim to re-election. Gaetz is in a safe Republican district under a Republican governor, so they can replace him without causing any real problems.
Not to even remotely equate the situations, but it's the same reason why Dems went after Franken and are going after Menendez right now; it doesn't cost them anything to do so. They'd be much less likely to go after someone like Senator Manchin of WV, Senator Sherrod Brown of Ohio, and Senators Warnock and Ossoff of Georgia unless they were absolutely forced to, since doing so would mean the loss of the Senate.
And it is a genuinely messy question. How heinous an act is worth losing the ability to pass any legislation and make any judicial appointments? I really don't think there is a clear answer to that. A few Senators made the difference between Roe v. Wade standing and falling.
Party of Family Values everyone. And pedophiles, rapists, thiefs, liars, racists, homophobes, and bigots.
You see, your mistake was thinking "family" meant "mom, dad, two kids, a dog, and a white picket fence" when really it means "La Cosa Nostra."
Well, a less competent version anyway.
La Cosa Dumbstra
“Fly as many underage girls across state lines as you want, but you effed with our power play, so now you have got to go”
What happened with that. Last I heard the FBI started an investigation and then nothing.
That was basically it. They didn't pursue it or bring charges
How did he not go to jail for trafficking children? Honest question.
Lack of evidence and testimony is what I've heard.
I think it was specifically the lack of someone willing to testify.
Probably because his political handlers own him as a useful tool asset at least until the statute of limitations lapse on his alleged crimes kompromat
Because he didn't traffic children.
If you look at the charges of Greenberg and that essentially nobody once ever referred to Gaetz as a suspect but rather "subject of" or "involved in" it becomes pretty clear what happened.
Greenberg was running a blackmail ring, or at least managing it, Matt Gaetz was the target of it. He started getting suspicious and went to the FBI.

The moderate Republicans keep saying Gaetz is Biden's favorite Republican so at least someone likes him. /S
…. Pretty much everyone hated him before, but we hate him now, too
The cult of Reagan values only one thing, loyalty to the cult.
If Reagan were still around, he'd be forced out of the party as a RINO
“I think Matt Gaetz is a disgraceful human being,” Matt Lawler told reporters Wednesday. “I think he has certainly alienated lots of people left and right.”
Lawler added he thought Gaetz should be kicked out of the Republican conference altogether.
Always entertaining when Republicans start judging one another as bad people. I wonder what kinds of ethics they imagine themselves to have?
I'm not fully convinced on this one. NPR just interviewed people this morning in his district who had a "I didn't really like him before but now I think he's great" response. Seems that some people get happy when someone turns over the apple cart.
Ah, yes, the "burn it all down" contingent that DGAF about foreseeable consequences to the degree that they should be excluded from jury duty for lacking the ability to be representative of a "reasonable person," i.e., being unable to determine what a normal person would do under the same set of circumstances.
He’s just a puppet for the rest of them. They told him to do it, so he did. Now they are making a big fake fuss.
I'm still thinking he's now a pod person
