Unfortunately I doubt it. Maybe in court, but remember, the entire GOP platform is made up of people who think "but I could be this one day."
Based on everything I've observed, they don't care about the details of consent and abuse. They see this and think "Nice!" Instead of "what the fuck?"
Thanks 🍿
I'm sure QAnon people will be all over this, right?
Right?
Yeah they will say it's a crackpot conspiracy theory from the Dems and libtards
Wild how our system just let's powerful people have sex with children consequence free.
The new details were released in a cache of court filings that were ironically made public as a direct result of the congressman’s friend, Dorworth, trying to make this disappear.
When the DOJ dropped the investigation, Dorworth sued several people including Greenberg, and the woman who claimed she was sex-trafficked by Gaetz when she was only 17. Dorworth did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
D'oh!
Imagina if the anti pedofile side of the party knows about this. Oh they won't do anything because the MF was reelected after the scandal.

Lobbyist, lobby thyself
Scandal doesn’t feel like a strong enough word for this. Doing coke is a scandal, sex trafficking is a crime against humanity.
Noooooo not Butthead!
