If there were so much "proof" of voter fraud, why haven't the GOP used it yet?
The Republican Party stands the most to gain from proving widespread voter fraud. In fact they'd gain...everything. If they could prove that the Democrats "stole" the 2020 election via fraud, then they could effectively end the Democratic Party. Full stop.
They could use their "proof" to paint every Democratic candidate for the next generation as a member of the "party of voter fraud." They'd become the majority party in a heartbeat, and Nancy Pelosi couldn't be elected dog catcher in San Francisco.
Yet they're not doing that. Weird, huh? It's almost like they know the claims of "widespread voter fraud" aren't true. Does anybody really think the GOP wouldn't jump at the chance to demolish the Dems once and for all?
If so many of his colleagues knew about his dirtiness, why are they only speaking up now and on background?
Republican Congressman Matt Gaetz, a spoiled 38-year-old adult child of a wealthy Floridian who has never had to earn an honest dollar in his life, is allegedly a part-time predatory teen girl aficionado — something he emphatically denies — and is unquestionably a full-time creep. Quelle surprise: It seems there’s more slime on the representative from Florida’s first district than there is in all of the Everglades.
It’s hard to say what exactly made the exposure of Gaetz’s dirtiness so predictable to people outside the Beltway. It could have been the 16 speeding tickets and DUI, his aspirant daddy relationship with former President Donald Trump, that time he staged a photo of himself to mock COVID-19 by wearing a gas mask, his friendship with alt-right figures like Holocaust denier Charles Johnson, appearances in media where he appeared addled, or the fact that he was known to haunt a popular college bar in Tallahassee while he was serving as a state lawmaker.
Maybe it was the time he lamented not being able to “hunt down” antifa like the military hunts terrorists, or the time he publicly expressed creepiness at 22-year-old Tiffany Trump, or the time he threatened a Congressional witness the night before he was supposed to testify and then tried to storm the hearing of a committee he wasn’t on, or the time he tried to storm another impeachment-related hearing that took place in a SCIF. Or maybe it’s his entitled, pugnacious air that reminds everybody of the most annoying guy they went to college with, or the giant dark circles beneath his eyes that waxed and waned like a spring break hangover.
But it was definitely something, as people inside the Beltway displayed a similar level of nonshock. The general response from his party compatriots seems to be: “of course.” In fact, according to reports, many in his party say they saw Gaetz’s PR problems coming from a mile away; then Attorney General Bill Barr, who knew about the investigation, avoided being in photos and on cable news hits with him, and it seems likely some of his colleagues in Congress were doing the same thing to avoid the bad PR that was inevitably coming.
If that’s the case, then why the fuck didn’t any of Gaetz’s congressional colleagues do anything? Why didn’t any “party officials”?
