Once again, we have a prominent Republican representative, Matt Gaetz of Florida, who has is said to be under investigation over possible sex trafficking of a minor. From The Guardian:
“The scandal engulfing Matt Gaetz, one of Donald Trump’s
brashest supporters in Congress, deepened on Friday after an associate admitted
sex trafficking involving a minor and agreed to cooperate with investigators.
Joel Greenberg, a former tax collector in Florida, said he and
unidentified others paid a 17-year-old girl for sex and he provided the girl
with drugs, according to court papers cited by multiple media outlets.
Greenberg, 37, is expected to plead guilty to six federal
charges, including financial crimes, in court in Orlando on Monday. He could be
a pivotal witness if prosecutors charge Gaetz, 39, over an alleged sexual
relationship with the 17-year-old girl.”
This is not all that
surprising. The Republicans seem very attached to corruption. There have been
many sex scandals attached to Republicans.
And Donald Trump was caught before his first election victory, bragging about
abusing women. That did not stop his followers from supporting and voting for him.
Gaetz is not the first conservative caught in a sex scandal. But conservative US
voters just don’t seem to care. They didn’t care about Trump’s treatment of
women.
So now we have another
conservative Republican from Florida, caught doing what conservatives do best,
violate the very morality they claim to be supporting. They are all very moral
as long as the rules they believe in don’t apply to them. People like this guy
are all strong supporters of Christianity, the family and moral fiber for our
society. And of course, it is all a lot of hot air.
So when will people
learn not to vote for such vial corruption. Their hatred of both Democrats and
anything on the left, means they will continue to support Christian corruption
at its worst. All we can do is try to remind people—the Republican Party is the
party of corruption. Don’t trust them.
