Republicans quietly say Gaetz's days in Congress are numbered
By Juliegrace Brufke and Mike Lillis - 04/02/21 06:13 PM EDT
A defiant Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) says he has no plans to resign from Congress amid a federal investigation into whether he paid women — and a 17-year-old girl — for sexual favors.
Yet behind the scenes, a growing number of Gaetz’s Republican colleagues are predicting his days on Capitol Hill are growing short.
“In reality, yes, he won’t last long,†one member told The Hill on Friday.
The forecasts seem to be based on some combination of political pragmatism and wishful thinking.
Gaetz, who stands among the fiercest defenders of former President Trump, is no stranger to controversy, but the latest allegations — which have stemmed from a broader sex trafficking investigation involving the prostitution of minors — are by far the most serious. And Gaetz’s flair for flamboyant confrontation — he recently flew to Wyoming to stage a rally against GOP Rep. Liz Cheney on her home turf — has endeared him to pro-Trump conservatives outside the Beltway, but has also made him plenty of enemies within his own party.
Former Rep. Barbara Comstock (R-Va.) called this week for Gaetz’s removal following the new reports of the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) investigation.

All these people are wrong and just evil. What about Hunter Biden? We have his laptop, that shows him raping, torturing, little Chinese girls, NOT INTO PUBERTY YET. His billions, in pay off from CHINA? This is WHY, I am not supporting any republicans anymore. I am changing my affiliation. (to no affiliation) They are just the same as any DEMON-RATS.
NOT TALKING ABOUT MATT. HE IS ONE OF THE GOOD ONES...so of course they have to remove him. We are now a communist country.
Let us assume, IF, IF, IF, the girl was 17. That is an adult to me. She is fully developed. The kids that are being trafficked across the border are, one, three, five! Very young. NO PROBLEM FOR ANY OF THESE IN GOVERNMENT. They worry about Matt?
Azzholes.

We all know why Gaetz is being targeted. Only a fool would ignore it. It's a "get in line, you peons, or else" kind of move.

Democrats move on relentlessly,in over their heads in scandals and untouched by consequences and proud lock-steppers. Republicans having been taught to compromise and bi-partisan cave to democrats and globalist taking them to the wood shed, and divided by democrats wearing Republican clothing in their midst. The weird part is people turning their backs on Republicans who seek some sense and moralty but keep getting betrayed are offensive. The Epstein walk around with their heads up high, betraying their Country for love of Russian and Chinese money, let along globalist lead by Geo. nazi Soros. Republican are offensive because they are not total sell-outs to their nation like Democrat lock-steppers?
How did so many Americans get so mentally/spiritually depraved??? Sick, sick puppies!

Years ago a friend of mine's 16yo daughter ran away with a 19yo boy. The cop that came out and took the report told me 15 will get you 20 but 16yo is just a good piece of a$$. That they could do nothing about a 16yo.

@roamer_1
I am writing to you on the new small HP computer; it is a 14 inch and a wonderful device.
If Gaetz is proven to be guilty of human trafficking, he will be in prison the rest of his life.
My son's intended is an officer of "Stop the Traffik", based in London. It is a multi-country group and is in the US.
Will send you a PM about that.

I will predict he will never see a day in court. He will however, be defamed and convicted in the public square, and forced to resign in order to defend himself. And therein lies the power of waggin tongues. And that is why I will wait for actual evidence in an actual court of law.

Yep! Just like Roy Moore, Tom DeLay, Ted Stevens, and several others.

:amen:
Until someone produces real proof of a crime I could care less what the leftist media say.

Certainly not. If it is like Roy Moore, they are behind it.

Wasn't 'toe tapping' Craig (R-ID) the last one convicted?

Agree.

I heard Gaetz the other night, and I think he has done nothing wrong. And I think he has a great lawsuit against the communist rag NYT. I hope he sues them for $1 billion.
Gaetz is going nowhere. I believe in him.
