Back when this story first started I actually had a Gaetz defender telling me that the sheer number of women Gaetz paid for sex was exonerating since at that volume you were almost certain to end up with a few under 18. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Perhaps it is "exonerating" in the same vein that using United States government computers to repeatedly do what is alleged below is somehow "exonerating" if the computer is not primarily used for the procurement of marijuana?
Its really fascinating how Trump is willing to discard these people on a whim, but any maga feels the need to defend them to the hilt up until Trump himself is done with them.
Like, it’s much easier to say Gaetz is a criminal and discard him, but they just never do that.
They literally do not care if any were underage. They don’t care that he attended orgies while he was in Congress, or that he used illegal drugs at those parties. It would only matter if he were a Dem.
So does he get shunned by all at this point or do Rs pivot to 'paying teenagers for sex is actually good'? He's not Trump, so probably shunned. But it's fun to imagine this report being about Trump and Rs making dumb arguments to defend him.
Given that red states tend to swing lower in ages of consent, the big push of "half her eggs are wasted by 18, doesn't it make sense to marry younger???", and how many Rs get caught with teenagers, the answer probably is
that they already think paying teenagers for sex is good.
Even Gatez thought that having sex with the same child after they turned 18 exonerated him. Like his penis was a pardon pen. I wish I was joking. He talked about it in texts with Greenberg, his accomplice, who is currently in prison for the exact same crimes 🤢
And I thought the "She looked eighteen" defense was disgusting but this is so much worse. That Gaetz defender needs to have their browser history examined.
They also would have said "yeah, it looks bad, but no one *DIED*. Not like Hunter Biden and his Laptop From Hell and the whole Biden Crime Family Syndicate financed by the George Soros-Bill Gates-Hillary Clinton-Barack HUSSEIN Obama New World Order using 5G chips to force socialism on America."
Must be a trump defender. Why do they all need to grab them by the pu@#>=+%. As a female/gramma i can attest to there being nothing there to grab ON TO. He would have to b a no noting (Virgin ?). Me having been born with the female
anatomy knows this first hand. Lolol another Trump Idiot.
Same as the pedophile/ephebophile stuff: yes, there is a certain value judgement in how young the child you are harming is and if you are seeking them out because they are so young, but at the end of the day taking advantage of teens is bad!
@joshtpm.bsky.social I have yet to read a clear account as to why the DoJ didn’t press charges. And why the Florida AG or local DA didn’t pursue charges.
maybe it was a terrible decision. But I don’t think we can evaluate it based at least on what I saw so far. Trust me, not defending the decision. But there are all sorts of potential reasons why witnesses might not hold up in court.
What is the real battlefield here. Gaetz was never forced to defend himself in the full view of the public. The wheres and hows of that are far more significant than a mere criminal conviction.

"They were of age in the future."

"That minor was just the margin of error."
