At a Republican summit, the Florida congressman railed against the GOP establishment and briefly addressed accusations of "naughty favors."
Gaetz’s keynote speech came a day after Joel Greenberg, a former Florida tax official and associate of the congressman, pleaded guilty to six charges and is cooperating in a federal sex trafficking investigation. Federal officials are looking into whether Gaetz and Greenberg used the internet to find women they could pay for sex and whether Gaetz had a sexual relationship with a minor he paid to travel with him, the New York Times reported.
Several Republican candidates for governor and U.S. House and Senate, had planned to address the crowd but backed out in recent days. Representatives from their campaigns declined to say why on the record, but all of them had committed before Gaetz was added to the program. Another scheduled keynote speaker, Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., didn’t show.
Attendees booed whenever someone mentioned Gonzalez or Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine, a Republican who has become a villain to many in the party base for his acceptance of the 2020 election results and his cautious approach to the coronavirus pandemic. Far-right activists have taken to calling DeWine a RINO, or Republican In Name Only. If DeWine is renominated next year — and this week former Trump campaign manageras a potential primary challenger — some are considering protest votes.
Go to jail- go directly to jail - do not pass go ; do not collect $200
They are done as a party. If they don’t want to clean out the filth,the law will.
He has no sense of shame, has he? Fits well in the current Republican leadership, lie, ignore the truth, lie, then lie some more. I’m seeing and hearing them and find it hard to believe that they dare push this alternate reality & that it is accepted by some.

This guy was doomed from the gaetz-go...
Matt Gaetz looks so creepy. Like a traditional, basement dwelling, child predator. If this were like 15 years earlier, he looks like he'd be getting busted by Chris Hansen.
Tongue firmly in ear I wonder?
Sex trafficking is more than these basic definitions though. It is America’s daughters, sisters, mothers, nieces and sometimes America’s sons.
