GOP congressman outraged that Matt Gaetz's lewd past is now public

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Congressman Tim Burchett, Republican of Tennessee, shared with Fox News on Monday his outrage over the release of the long-awaited Matt Gaetz investigative report from the House Ethics Committee.

“I think it’s vindictive in nature,” Burchett said. “I just don’t see the point in all this is, a couple of old timers are going to cackle about it, and again, it’s not been proven, this is just a report,” stressing that it is “not a court of law.”

The allegations against Gaetz, of which Burchett doesn’t think the public should be made aware, include paying multiple women—including a minor—for sex and purchasing and using illegal drugs while serving in office.

“The Committee concluded there was substantial evidence that Representative Gaetz violated House Rules, state and federal laws, and other standards of conduct prohibiting prostitution, statutory rape, illicit drug use, acceptance of impermissible gifts, the provision of special favors and privileges, and obstruction of Congress,” the report concluded.

1. I think it likely that many republicans are feeling like tightly spaced dominoes right now. n/t

[Scrivener7]

2. Outraged Gaetz's lewd past is public, but not outraged at all at Gaetz's lewd past.

[Think. Again.]

3. 🏆

[barbtries]

13. not just lewd.

criminal.

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

18. exactly

[Think. Again.]

4. geatz chose to be a public figure, just as you have, mr. burchett.

[sop]

5. Republicans have turned hypocrisy into an art form.

[erronis]

7. If throwing poop is art. And not noticing the stink on their hands.

[Rebl2]

25. Yes they have

as well as lying.

[efhmc]

6. The headline I have been waiting for years to hear: Republicans are outraged to hear that many do not have enough to

eat or shelter from the weather or even decent jobs or medicine. Just one of those would give me hope but alas.

[chouchou]

8. Ah,...yeah. Mr. right-wing congressman Burchett..

Maybe you should pay more attention to your state's shitty crime rate...or lousy education...or horrible Health Care...
Instead of worrying about the scum in Florida.

[J_William_Ryan]

9. "I just don't see the point in all this is..."

Burchett is typical of Republicans’ contempt for the right of the people to know.

And he’s ‘outraged’ only because it reflects poorly on Republicans and Trump.

[SWBTATTReg]

10. So, I am guessing that since the republicans in office haven't done a damn thing against Gaetz since day 1, for this

disgusting behavior, means that he condones such behavior. Disgusting. Absolutely disgusting.

He should be kicked out of office too, what other bad behavior has he condoned w/o telling any of us about it/overlooked it?

[Rebl2]

26. Sounds

like they condone it to me.

[magicarpet]

28. Gaetz marched up and down and all around the halls and wells of congress to brag about his weekend exploits,...

.... nailing under aged girls. Quite often he had video backup that he gleefully shared of minor girls all drunk and drugged up at orgies Gaetz organized to entertain himself and his buddies.

Congressmen would say how do you keep an election and have intercourse all night ? Gaetz would respond,... I gulp down three or four Viagra erectile disfunction pills and wash them down with extremely high caffeine energy drinks like Red Bull, Rockstar, or Monster,.. that teenagers like to guzzle. That allowed Gaetz to keep a hard on for 10 to 12 hours.

Gaetz blew the whistle on himself because his alpha male macho man ego could not help but brag his brains out about all the juicy details of his sex orgy exploits. The rich boy, rock star, hyper virile, Playboy, young, tall, dark, and handsome Congressman from the big city. Matt Gaetz had the virgin young under aged girls wrapped around his fingers like a moviestar would.

Until they finally found out what this pedo was up to and shut him down.

11. If such a report were compiled against Biden, would fuckface Burchett be as outraged?

[Ohioboy]

14. Not at all

They have no problem showing Hunter Biden's pictures and referring to Biden's family as "the Biden crime family". No court of law involved there.

[Orrex]

15. Exactly

It's very similar to the way reichwing Evangelicals claim that the existence of any other belief system or culture is an attack on them. Any attempt to reveal or punish Republican crimes is spun as an assault on the party, the rule of law, and the nation itself.

[Ohioboy]

30. They get mad when their ability to spread unfounded dirt is delayed

They all cried foul when they got delayed putting out their stories about Hunter Biden (not even a public servant) on the internet.
They went after social media, accused them of surpressing their unproven bullshit, even had hearings about how their freedom of speech was infringed.

[quakerboy]

12. giant flashing neon red sign

Over his head saying "investigate me" should be pretty obvious to any investigative journalist looking for their next big story.

[paleotn]

20. Exactly my first thought.

What ya been up to there Tim?

[bluesbassman]

16. Did he "share his outrage" about MTG flashing Hunter Biden's dick pics on the House floor?

Yeah, I don’t remember him doing that either. Sit down and STFU you hypocritical SOB!

[johnnyfins]

17. Yeah, it is just a report.

That WE paid for. A report that was created by a committee, who's members are elected and paid by US, the U.S. taxpayer. It deserves to be public. This dick thinks it should have been swept under the rug. Fuck him.

[paleotn]

19. So doing lines of cocaine in congressional offices is perfectly OK.

Hey, Tim.....Jesus is watching you say that.

[IronLionZion]

21. Dude thinks abusing minors and plying them with drugs is something to cackle about

[JoseBalow]

22. Burchett doth protest too much, methinks

Waiting for the allegations against him to drop

[Conjuay]

23. perhaps it would be prudent

to see if he was at the 🎉 parties?

[sakabatou]

24. So, Burchett, what are YOU hiding?

[Groundhawg]

27. I'm not concerned with his feelings.

[NoMoreRepugs]

29. Dude, you are an old timer.

[rasputin1952]

31. Of course...

Mr Burchett feels threatened, a report on him might be next.
