Is Every Republican Out There a Paedophile?

To be fair, the answer is, "No."

Some of them just shoot puppies, and some of them die in bizarre autoasphyxia accident involving a closet wet suits (plural) and a dildo.

Still, there a lot, including Matt Gaetz who paid a 17 year old homeless girl for sex.

The man President Trump wanted to be attorney general was allegedly paying for sex with a 17-year old girl who was working at a McDonald’s, saving up for braces, and partly living at a homeless shelter.

Last year, a House Ethics Committee report found “substantial evidence” that former representative and former attorney general nominee Matt Gaetz “regularly paid women for engaging in sexual activity with him,” and that he “engaged in sexual activity with a 17-year-old girl” in 2017. The report also mentioned that Gaetz possessed and used cocaine and ecstasy while in office. Last month, newly unsealed court documents further detailed just how dire a situation the girl was living in before she was connected with Gaetz.

As The New York Times reported, the girl was in and out of homeless shelters, where one of her parents lived after a divorce. In an attempt to save up for braces, she joined a sugar dating website, saying she was 18 instead of 17 to join.

The girl met Gaetz’s friend Joel Greenberg through the website in April 2017. He invited her on his boat and paid her $400 without having sex with her. They then had sex seven times for money after that. In July, she went to a party thrown by Republican lobbyist Chris Dorworth and had sex with then-Representative Gaetz twice. 

I hear that they will be doing a biopic of Gaetz, Close Encounters with the 3rd Grade. 

^*Two points here:
1. I use the British spelling because it sounds worse.
2. I am aware that technically it would be ephebophilia, not paedophilis, because these are folks in their later teens. If you give a f%$# about that, you should have been drowned at birth.
