The nomination of former Florida GOP Congressman Matt Gaetz to be the next Attorney General of the United States has drawn plenty of criticism from both Democrats and Republicans on Capitol Hill, leading to questions about whether or not Gaetz can ever be confirmed.
And now you can add to that skepticism the words of conservative journalist Ben Domenech, who expressed his disgust in a post on Substack, calling Gaetz a “piece of shit.”
The title of Domenech’s post, it should be noted is, “Matt Gaetz is a Vile Sex Pest and Any Senator Who Votes For Him Owns That.”
“Matt Gaetz is a sex trafficking drug addicted piece of shit,” the takedown begins.
“He is abhorrent,” Domenech adds. “His eyes are permanently rimmed with the red rings of chemical boosters. In person, he smells like overexposed Axe Body Spray and stale Astroglide.”
Damn! Tell us how you really feel, Ben!
There’s also this from Domenech: “Every Republican in Washington has an opinion about Matt Gaetz, and 99 percent of those opinions are ‘Keep Matt Gaetz away from my wife/daughter/friend and anyone I care about.'”
Senate Republicans have to reject Gaetz or face dire consequences, the post concludes.
″But if they have a degree of independence, any kind of free thought, mindful of the fact that a presidency is four years but your career is forever, they will reject this choice so emphatically that it sends a very simple, straightforward message: you can be an absolute dirtbag wannabe pimp pounding dick pills and caffeine while you film your ‘girlfriend’ twerking on the gram, or you can be a Republican.”
On Thursday, Gaetz abruptly resigned from Congress, days before a report from the House Ethics Committee was to be released that allegedly details the Florida Republicans’ drug use and sexual encounters with underage girls, according to MSNBC.
The timing of his resignation could prove to be quite convenient for the scandal-plagued congressman. Punchbowl reported Wednesday, citing multiple sources familiar with the Ethics Committee’s Gaetz investigation, that the panel was set to vote this week on whether to release what Punchbowl sources described as a “highly damaging” report. The Washington Post confirmed Punchbowl’s reporting, citing four people familiar with the matter.
Several Senate Republicans have already said publicly they will not vote to confirm Gaetz. And yet many of them have previously downplayed sexual abuse allegations and convictions against accused rapist/president-elect Donald Trump.
Why? Because the Republican Party is now composed of gutless sycophants who are only too happy to kiss whatever ass is presented to them for adoration.
At least most of the time.
