  1. Why in the world would you pay someone you’re “dating” to have sex? And you’re “dating” a 17-yr old, or…?

  3. If that’s the reason they’re sleeping with you, then…..yeah.

  4. So Matt, you’re telling us you were dating a 17 year old? How many statutory rapes did you commit?

  5. The alleged victim (a high school student at the time) stated he paid her for sex

  7. The deification of Matt Geatz is coming. He is going to be held up as a good man who was trashed as a political victim.

    He will be sainted by the right wing media and talking heads.

    The hypocrisy is astounding.

  8. Man just admitted to being with a 17 year old on the internet where are the feds

  10. I’m surprised the people with “kill your local pedophile” decals on their cars are silent on this report.

  11. “Matt, I’m gonna need you to take a seat over there.” – Chris Hansen

  13. The, “Hey I’m just a 30 something year old guy dating a 17 year old girl” isn’t the defense he thinks it is.

  14. I despise people like this in real life

    I’m not even talking about his specific crimes (that’s without question), I just mean the attitude

    The snake like twisting of facts to make yourself look as innocent as possible

    Problem is, this country used to be good at shutting this shit down. Now it’s all upside down, where people will defend him

    I’m not here to argue about whether we’ve lost the plot (we have) I desperately want to know if/when it will change

    Gaetz committed “crimes,” quotes because this country has gone mask off with “it’s only a crime if certain people do it”

    Will he be charged? Imprisoned? Or become the next Senator from Florida?

  15. If you replaced ‘Matt Gaetz’ in the report with ‘Hunter Biden’, every Republican currently defending Gaetz (including Gaetz himself) would be frothing at the bit to put Hunter in jail.

  16. Hire a PR person, Matt. and take the advice given. Keep the diamond-tipped drill bit locked away when you’ve hit the bottom of your barrel.

    You lost the public fight at “underage” and “drugs.” And the fact your actions were repeated and serial – you just couldn’t stop, could you. Practice a little bit of self-awareness.

    Go and practice law or something – I’m sure you’ll do fine pushing paper, far away from the public. Share war stories with Roy Moore at the bar, for all I care.

  17. Telling the cops “but she said she was 17” doesn’t help

  18. Giving drugs and money to teens and trafficking them across international borders for orgies is now somehow *wrong*?!?

  19. Giving your date funds while expecting a blowjob within 15 minutes of meeting her for the very first time is not called “dating”.

  21. Just remember that this is only the one instance of raping a minor in the official report. Predators like Gaetz rarely just have one or stop at one underage rape.

  22. The party bots are flooding every post about this and 1) denying it happened at all or 2) “well actually it’s ephebephilia not pedophilia”

    This is going to make having conversations with low information voters more difficult.

    As is the intention; muddy the water.

  23. Giving money to someone in exchange for sex is, in fact,.the definition of prostitution.

  24. If by dating, you mean hiring an escort or having your buddy Epstein provide their portfolio of children, then yes! It’s still illegal regardless of semantics, but you do you (in jail)

  25. lol Gaetz is obviously full of shit regardless, but something very funny about him using the term “funds” here. it’s like he attended the first day of our government’s Weird Corporate Sociopath class and then cut out the rest of the semester to go boof some ket and rape teenagers

  28. a 35yo dating a 17yo? and he’s qualified to be AG of the US?????

  29. Why the fuck isn’t he being arrested??? Or at least put on the sex offender list?

  30. And fucking a 17 year old is rape. And moving minors you’re paying for sex across state lines is sex trafficking of minors. And giving illegal drugs to minors is also a crime. Oh, and using illegal drugs is a crime. Showing nude photos of women without their knowledge is also illegal…even if it’s on the floor of Congress.

  31. Giving cash to someone you are ‘dating’ in amounts that closely resemble the amounts you would pay a hooker, in the same sort of cadence that you go on ‘dates’. Call it what you want, you’re paying for sex. Don’t try to fucking technicality me when you’re also going to try and say ‘yes, technically it’s rape, but she told me she was 18 so it’s ok’. Guy is a detestable scumbag. But everyone already knew that.

  32. In his own texts, he literally called himeself a “repeat customer” when asking for a “freebee”, because he was short on funds.

    He also had to ask a girl if she was old enough to drink.

    Typical dating life of a 42 year old.

  33. All those guys and prostitutes in jail for solicitation and prostitution are just kicking themselves they didn’t think of that. It’s so novel that I’m also sure no lawyer has ever defended someone on that basis.

    10 minutes of dating and it would’ve been 100% legal!

  34. Just to be clear, he admitted to it. That means repugs protected a pedophile, defended him, attempted to gaslight us, explicitly lied to their sheeple, convinced their sheeple to protect him. They wanted to elevate him to a high office. They did this for a pedophile. Donald Trump did this for a pedophile. This is conservative America

    Truly without any trolling, rot in hell conservative pedophile sympathizers
