More on a top GOP leader, MG

As note on twitter: 'A subtext of this story is that there’s an appetite among male members of Congress for showing each other photos of nude women while on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives.'

Note: this is entirely independent of the DOJ investigation of potential child trafficking charges. Just dealing with the macho culture in the House.

Revelations have gotten worse, if you can believe it.

Entitled white guy high school locker room mentality moves right into country club locker room mentality. A notable part of the "women as sexual objects" misogyny of those douchebags.

He’s not a top GOP leader. He’s a junior representative who makes a lot of noise, gets on TV often, and pulls whatever stunts he can get away with.

“At one point during Gaetz's first term, staff for then-House Speaker Paul Ryan held a short meeting with Gaetz in the Capitol, where they had a discussion with Gaetz about acting professionally while in Congress, according to two sources with knowledge of the meeting. One source said the conversation wasn't tied to a specific incident. Ryan didn't directly have a conversation with Gaetz.

“Gaetz's spokesperson denied that he was ever reprimanded by Ryan or his staff. "That did not happen, no meeting with the speaker or his staff," the spokesperson said.”

That’s a structural failure if the Speaker will not personally handle such matters. Can the hierarchy of power really be so delegated to staff? These people do not listen to “staff.”

Then again if this so sensitive to the job security of the two staffers such they won’t come forward publicly, maybe it’s best if they just STFU.

"Thankfully president trump will pardon this man of faith for all his godly works previous."

He has a lot of political clout in GOP land, even if he’s a junior member of congress.

He’s despicable and fully represents ‘deplorables’.

Matt Gaetz's spokesperson resigns as the lawmaker faces a sex-trafficking scandal

Gaetz's office put out a statement after, saying: "The Office of Congressman Matt Gaetz and Luke Ball have agreed that it would be best to part ways. We thank him for his time in our office, and we wish him the best moving forward."

Ah, they were just having a little fun. Unless the women didn’t know they were being videoed which is unlikely.
