Matt Gaetz’s teen sex scandal is back in the news & we’re thoroughly disgusted all over again
Matt Gaetz, Kevin McCarthy is now saying the quiet part out loud. The bitter ex-speaker, who was ousted last fall and resigned shortly thereafter, was speaking Wednesday at an event at Georgetown University.
When the topic turned to his downfall, McCarthy became defensive… and catty!After insisting he didn’t agree to Democratic concessions to pass spending bills, the California Republican brought up the real reason he says he lost his speakership: a fellow GOP rep’s alleged fornication with an underaged girl.Stay woke with our briefing while staying informed on all things LGBTQ+ entertainment, life, and more!While McCarthy didn’t name Gaetz, it was easy to surmise his target. “I’ll give you the truth why I’m not speaker.
It’s because one person, a member of Congress, wanted me to stop an ethics complaint, because he slept with a 17-year-old,” he said. “An ethics complaint that started before I ever became speaker, and that’s illegal, and I’m not going to get in the middle.”You gotta respective the resentment from McCarthy, who said he’s “not going to get in the middle” of an ongoing ethics probe, before doing just that!Later, McCarthy admitted he didn’t know for sure whether Gaetz broke the law, but the damage was already done.“Did he do it or not?
I don’t know, but ethics is looking at it, and there are other people in jail because of it, and he wanted me to influence it,” he added.BREAKING: Kevin McCarthy says he is not speaker because Matt Gaetz wanted him to stop an ethics complaint because he slept with a 17 year old pic.twitter.com/RhEKz5xhwuMatt Gaetz is an ongoing danger to children.
