Gaetz is from a wealthy well connected old money Florida family. His daddy has bailed him out of crime jams before already. This man has never had to be accountable a single time in his life. He's literally the 80s villan fratbro archetype come to life.
I'd say 90s just because he looks like Butthead come to life.
What sort of crime jams? It really depends on the type. For example, I voted in the guy who has felonies on his record, but laws were changed in order to make those charges felonies specifically to charge him, and there was no victim. So, it's a situational thing for me.
DUI in 2008 that was dropped while his daddy was a Florida State senator.
It sucks that sort of thing happens, but as long as its not happening again and that it didn't happen while in office I'm good with that. We all make mistakes. Im glad his DUI didn't lead to a death
Why go this hard defending Matt Gaetz? Crimes or not, the dude is a fucking asshole.
You're asking why I don't just fall in with the masses claiming someone is guilty without evidence? It's not about who, it's about why. I don't care if someone is an asshole it's not a reason to condemn them for something if they didn't do it.
But do go on with your bad self.
