We at this site have said on many occasions that even if one gave Matt Gaetz the benefit of the doubt on every single legal element of his behaviors, even if he never did anything that constitutes a crime, he is still a sick f*** that needs to resign and allow the Florida panhandle to elect an equally conservative, equally MAGA-frothing, representative.

Let’s look at one element of Gaetz’s behavior alone, one that no one contests, one that is apparently not a crime so long as the person is over eighteen. Matt Gaetz was infamous for showing pictures of his “action” with the young women in question. It is impossible for us to believe that he received consent from each woman to be passed around to the Republican scum that surrounds Matt Gaetz in the House. So even if it’s entirely legal, Gaetz took these pictures and showed his buddies, like hunters that nail heads to a wall.

Even for guys that are not freak prudes, guys that have had “good times” in their life, it is inconceivable to us, at any age, to hear “Hey, wanna see a picture of this girl I was with…” and not walking away, ‘Nah, sorry.” Nowadays, if one wants to see anything, it’s not hard to find with grown women who at the very least have consented (Key word).

Next, even if it is 100% legal to “date” an 18-year-old, what kind of judgment does that show? And what kind of person, in his mid-30s, finds that to be satisfying and wants to? When you’re a good-looking congressman in your mid-30s, you’re supposed to be dating women who have developed their own businesses, radiologists, engineers, and artists. You are supposed to want to be around women, not kids, and every man knows the difference, without needing a calendar.

So even if we give Matt Gaetz all the benefit of the doubt and say that he was only paying $400 to have dinner with a girl, and all girls were over 18, he’s still a sick, f***, creep, who is – evidently, about to begin his rehabilitation tour:

ALL will be Revealed & Exposed…

No, Matt! No, you do not have the right to use the word “exposed” ever again. Somewhere out there is a 20 to 22 year old young woman in tears, thinking about a night when she might’ve lost her young judgement, had too much wine, was maybe a little star-struck, maybe a little too trusting, needed some money, and now she’s thinking about pictures of herself being leered at all over Capitol Hill.

And, as a bonus message, to any Republican congressman, who – upon hearing about what he was about to see, took a good look at Matt’s phone, something is wrong with you, too. If you were shown a picture of a girl that was 17, you deserve to be prosecuted, too.

Get the hell out of Congress, Matt. You’re a young guy, go learn some humility, do something with your life and run again in ten years after you’ve “matured” and learned a little about the world. This is all assuming you didn’t do anything illegal.

But if you did travel with a 17 year old… lots of dads of 14 year old girls will never, ever, ever, forget and hope you get a year or two to think about it in prison.
