You sure are trusting of the Deep State. Aren't you curious why Gaetz was the most disliked member of the HOR?BearFan33 said:We currently have the most compromised attorney general in history that has weaponized the FBI and DOJ against the political enemies of his political party and you are worried about the possibility Gaetz was at a sex party. It is really insane.Osodecentx said:I'm not concerned about a Rep who resigned under a cloud of serious accusations.

We cannot get rid of this guy soon enough!!
Never forget that a lot of Senate Republicans wanted this absolute establishment boob to be Senate Leader
[Thune, the current whip, won 29 votes on the second round of voting against the former Whip Sen. John Cornyn, who received 24 votes. Sen. Rick Scott was eliminated after the first round after receiving the least votes. ]
There is still so much work to be done in reforming the GOP
Leaving aside Gaetz (your personally hobby horse that you are obsessed with)
There are lot of other reasons to not like Cornyn and consider him a very bad representative of Texas Conservativism in the Senate.
(seriously do you dream about Gaetz at night?)
Because I don't personally care about some Rep. from Florida
And I am inclined to give the Presidential winner of the popular vote and electoral vote the benefit of the doubt when he wishes to have a person take a role in his administration
You seem to think DC should move to block him and are really concerned about it
As a general proposition, the president should be given great latitude in whom he wishes to appoint. I've said nothing critical about any of Trump's appointments, other than Gaetz. I'm sure he wants the opportunity to clear his name. You sure are docile and trusting when it comes to executive appointments. A startling lack of curiosity
The nonpartisan group is calling on the Senate to withhold confirmation hearings for Gaetz "until a full and transparent investigation is conducted into his possible role in the exploitation of young women and girls at the 'sex parties' he has admitted to attending."
"These parties reportedly included young women, some allegedly minors, who were paid to participate in sex acts," the letter reads. "It is further alleged that Mr. Gaetz did not merely attend these events but actively participated. Evidence suggests he sent payments through Venmo and Cash App to an associate, who then transferred funds to the women, labeling payments as 'tuition.'"
