Former Rep. Matt Gaetz, a Florida Republican who briefly stood to become President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee to be attorney general, was found by congressional ethics investigators to have paid numerous women — including a 17-year-old girl — for sex, and to have purchased and used illegal drugs, including from his Capitol Hill office, according to a final draft of a comprehensive investigative report obtained by CBS News.
Normally, yes the drug thing shouldn’t be something we care about too much. But I’m pretty sure the drug use is a very valid thing to care about, especially with the allegation that he was giving drugs to minors, and this: “one woman told the committee the use of drugs at the parties and events they attended may have “impair[ed their] ability to really know what was going on or fully consent.””
I think it’s pretty clear we’re referring to consenting adults using drugs recreationally from the context of this discussion.
No reasonable person thinks it’s right to drug a teenager and rape them.
Matt Gaetz is not reasonable.
