Is that really making it worse; it do make him look bad but still far less bad than the first allegation. He was already know as a moron and a pig, that only confirm it.

Gaetz won 283,000 votes last November compared to 149,000 for his Democratic opponent. I'm going to guess that a good chunk of his constituents do not know him as "a moron and a pig."

Sure you could probably run a dead dog with an (R) next to its name in FL01 and win the election.

[The Green One]

Don't know or don't care. Either or.

As long as it parrots my ideals, I don't care what it gets up to in their private time. Is probably the prevailing opinion. Quite a lot of people honestly don't care as long as it doesn't affect them directly.

[Anh_Minh]

For some of them, it could even be a plus.

[Guardian Enzo]

The Panhandle is legendary for a reason. Gaetz is pretty much a dignified intellectual in context.

I feel like I came from another dimension.

I mean, no one has said that the GOP, you know, the party that tried to impeach clinton for a blowjob, now act like this kind of conduct is ok.

Now if the evangelicals say out loud it is ok, I will know for sure I am a slider O_O

[Ithekro]

Was there a dimensional shift, cause I image a lot of us would believe we are sliders based on that. Perhaps some have become more delusional since Clinton...we got Trump after all.

[The Green One]

Why do people pretend to be surprised about hypocritical politicians? It's not exactly a new concept........

The rumor on the net is that there are two possible places where we got shifted to another dimension.

The first is that when they ran the Hadron Particle Collider and were somewhat successful (I think some sort of animal got into it though?)

The second is when the Cubs finally won the World Series Championship after 108 years.

Then you have those who think the timeline have gone to shit since a gorilla got shot, or since they demoted Pluto.

Speaking of Florida men, 60 Minutes heavily manipulated video of DeSantis for some totally innocent reason.

Clinton's impeachment was because he lied under oath and obstructed justice, not because he got a blowjob.

That’s actually the main reason Trump first got impeached as well. He consistently interfered in the mueller investigation and all the obstruction by making sure none of the witnesses testified under oath.

Trump was not charged with obstruction of justice, I can link you the articles of impeachment against Trump if you need.

[The Green One]

Yet you don't deny he interfered with it........

[ramlaen]

Well now.

Why would I need to deny something that didn't happen while correcting someone making a misinformed assertion.

[SeijiSensei]

No obstruction charges were brought because Mueller complied with the Justice Department's opinion that sitting Presidents cannot be indicted.

As [Special Counsel Robert] Mueller describes, the special counsel’s office “gathered evidence … relevant to the elements of those crimes and analyzed them within an elements framework—while refraining from reaching ultimate conclusions about whether crimes were committed,” because of the Office of Legal Counsel (OLC)’s guidelines against the indictment of a sitting president.
