Why would they? This man is a scourge in the house

Would the next guy be better or worse?

Even for Florida Republicans, a child sex trafficker with public receipts is a tough act to follow.

Yeah, for real. I feel like people don't mention he's literally a child sex trafficker often enough.

Can't imagine worse, but US politics keeps surprising me in its race to the bottom.

Not to mention have thr libbbbruuuuuuuls side with him would destroy the political career he worked so hard to polarise

Gaetz doesn’t take corporate pac money, so he’s beholden only to MAGA. This makes him interesting, but is also why the corpos on both sides of the aisle will absolutely expel him if given the opportunity.

He is a scourge. Just to troll the GOP with the boat anchor that this piece of shit is.
