Matt Gaetz sends fundraising message after bombshell House Ethics report: 'I need your help'

Matt Gaetz sends fundraising message after bombshell House Ethics report: ‘I need your help’ (The Independent)

The former congressman used the publication of a damning report to raise money for his PAC

Hours after the publication of a bombshell report revealing “substantial evidence” that Matt Gaetz paid tens of thousands of dollars for sex, including with a 17-year-old girl, the former congressman issued a fundraising plea through his recently launched political action committee.

-snip-

Through the PAC, Gaetz “hopes to keep Florida Red while supporting President Trump’s mission to Make America Great Again,” according to a description on the PAC’s website and in fundraising messages.

Obviously his charm, looks, dapper dress, ability to carry on a conversation or ability to look one in the eye won’t do it. The horn dog needs it now. Go ahead yall spend that money on another patriotic Republican with conservative values.

This defense ain't gonna be cheap. Most dickheads would see swift justice. This entitled prick will evade justice until Trump pardons him.

And we know Gaetz was most likely taking bribes.

So he still needs to raise money after ample evidence that he rapes children and
is in the sex and drug trade.

I’d send him a couple of Monopoly $500 bills and the game’s Get Out of Jail Free card.

This guy is truly a shameless asshole with an enormous sense of self-entitlement.

He and the MAGA crowd have got it down to a science at this point. Practically formulaic.

Quelle surprise, non.
