Woman told House Ethics Committee she saw Gaetz have sex with minor, her lawyer says
A woman told the House Ethics Committee that she saw Matt Gaetz, who is President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for the U.S. attorney general, have sex with a minor, her lawyer said Friday.
“My client testified to the House Ethics Committee that she witnessed Rep. Gaetz having sex with a minor at a house party in Orlando in 2017,” Joel Leppard said.
Gaetz, a far-right Republican U.S. representative, resigned from Congress on Wednesday after Trump announced plans to nominate him for attorney general, has denied all allegations of sexual misconduct.
Leppard said the woman he represents testified before the House Ethics Committee in April.
He said he represents two witnesses who have provided testimony to the committee regarding Gaetz.
“The American people deserve to know the truth about the person slated to become the top law enforcement officer in the country” Leppard told NBC News.

Matt Gaetz is president-elect Donald Trump's choice to become U.S. attorney general.

Reagan broke the unspoken prohibition of a divorcee running for the presidency. Since then trump has shattered any semblance of it. He stole money from a charity, is a convicted criminal, is twice criminally indicted, twice impeached, a two time divorcee, a 26 time recipient of sexual abuse allegations, was found financially accountable for sexual abuse (rape by federal statute), stiffed investors in his casino biz, and was sued dozens of times for failing to pay money he owed to small contractors. He can fairly be described as morally bankrupt.
So here's my question.
If this testimony is accurate...“My client testified to the House Ethics Committee that she witnessed Rep. Gaetz having sex with a minor at a house party in Orlando in 2017,”.........does it matter to the Repubs who voted for trump that the potential future AG had sex with a minor? Are traditional moral standards a thing of the past if the politician in question is in your tribe?
