‘Proclivity for younger women’: Matt Gaetz’s colleagues say he has a ‘love of alcohol and illegal drugs’: report

The profile was less-than-flattering, with The Beast reporting Gaetz's "less-than-sterling reputation among his colleagues has many Republicans questioning the wisdom of jumping to his defense" – although none have jumped to condemn him either. "Republicans on and off Capitol Hill on Wednesday largely kept their mouths shut," The Beast reports, while offering up a disturbing revelation about the Florida GOP Congressman.

"Gaetz—the Trump-loving, Fox News-grinning, 38-year-old Florida Republican—has a less-than-sterling reputation among his congressional colleagues," The Beast says, with those colleagues indicting him over alcohol, drugs, and women.

"More than a half-dozen lawmakers have spoken to these reporters about his love of alcohol and illegal drugs, as well as his proclivity for younger women," The Beast reports. "It's well-known among Republican lawmakers that Gaetz was dating a college student—one over the age of consent—in 2018. She came to Washington as an intern."

Then, there's a "cartoonishly scandalous perception of Gaetz [which] is so commonplace that sometimes it's visible, literally, in the halls of Congress. A Hill source sent The Daily Beast a photo of a trash bin outside Gaetz's office as lawmakers cleared out their offices at the end of a recent session. At the top of the heap was an empty Costco-size box of 'Bareskin' Trojan condoms."

1. Younger women? CHILDREN

Even the liberal news is calling them women and describing a "relationship". If they are not over they age on consent it's RAPE. But I can see we are going to have the Roy Moore - how young is too young conversation AGAIN. Also tired of all the "Sniffing Joe" comments on social media today.

2. Especially when Trump sniffled like a coke (or crushed adderall) fiend

3. Any of them willing to go on the record and be quoted by name?

Courageous bunch, aren't they?

4. " his love of alcohol and illegal drugs, as well as his proclivity for younger women,"

You just know he combined the alcohol and the women.

' Here...have another drink, honey'

5. Republicans have reached this weird place with no consequences

They have a cult voting block who believes anything they say, no longer do they have to try to live the straight and narrow because their voters don't care.

6. I see we've moved on from the 'Gaetz is a closet gay man' to "Gaetz is a pedophile.'

Hard to keep up sometimes with these Congress critters.
