"These allegations are invented and would constitute false testimony to Congress," Gaetz said in response to ABC News' reporting.
AG Gaetz has his first case all lined up doesn't he?

Gross.
So, we are going to have an actual child-fucker as AG.
Republicans, "the party of law and order".
🤣
Btw, if there is anyone that I would believe would feed on adrenochrome....just look at Gaetz. Sure, the adrenochrome thing is just rehashed antisemitic blood libel bullshit, but I could see Gaetz maybe trying it out to see....
There are many credible accusations against Trump being a pedophile. So why would his AG be any different?
Hey, the President is an adjuducated rapist with 34 felony convictions, why should the AG be clean?
The pizza basements will become mandatory.
Do they come with pizza ovens? Regular ovens just don't get the dough hot enough for a good crust.
You know what's fucking infuriating? Nothing will happen to this fucker at all.
Nothing has happened to captain cheeto after he literally raped a child, so I can't say I'm surprised.
This shit shouldn't thought of as an "oh well". It's so fucked
Yeah no, I didn't mean it that way. Shit's completely fucked, I probably just have outrage fatigue.
Not saying you meant it that way, I'm saying 71 million Americans did. The more I think about it the more fucked it looks. Ngl, I hate the Democrats as much as the next person, but fuck, man, never in a million year would I vote for a person like Trump. It's fucking insanity. How can anyone listen to this man talk and say "ah, this is going to be a good president"? Just how?

It's reasonably possible that trump likes him specifically because of these accusations.
What the hell are you talking about?
The president-elect has no idea what Gaetz looks like. The president-elect doesn’t even know Gaetz. The president-elect has never considered Gaetz for AG. The president-elect and Gaetz have never met.

Every pick has been specifically chosen to be bad for their role.
Gaetz was 100% chosen for ATTORNEY GENERAL because of the accusations.

People who have baggage are easily controllable. Trump’s a mob boss, and he’s equally in the pocket of Putin. He’s used to these tactics.
Emperor Trump has a quiz for you dissidents: does this napkin smell like novichok? Answer honestly, you peasant.

The article mentions that he paid her to have sex with him at a party. That also makes it a sex trafficking crime. Also, IANAL but if the jurisdiction had an age of consent lower than 18, the sex trafficking part might negate that.
Also, Gaetz, who was born in 1982, was 35 at the time -- double her age and well outside the limits of any potential Romeo & Juliet laws.
Wasn't he older than that? I saw some other article stating this was 2 years ago when he would have been 40...

Guy seriously broke the ‘half your age + seven’ rule. Off with his head.
I tend to stick to within 5ish years of my own age. Any more seems weird.
My sister and I had an agreement, I don't date anyone younger than her and she doesn't date anyone older than me. :)
We're 9 years apart.
I hope she’s your younger sister….

It becomes less meaningful as you get older.
The issue with a teen and a 30 yo is the balance of power. Kids that age haven't dated and figured out all the red flags making abuse much more likely and easy to pull off.
Once you're both over 30 it doesn't really make much difference apart from potential grossness which is super subjective.
I’m 45 and still feel the same way I did when I was younger. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
