A GOP colleague of Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) is making it clear that many in the Republican caucus are disgusted with the Florida congressman and have been for quite some time now, in large part because Gaetz has never made a secret of his sexual exploits, even bragging about them to his fellow House members and showing graphic videos of women he claimed to have slept with.
Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) told CNN’s Manu Raju that Gaetz had been relegated to virtual irrelevancy until he decided to oust House Speaker Kevin McCarthy.
“He bragged about how he would crush E.D. (erectile dysfunction) medicine and chase it with energy drinks so he could go all night. This is obviously before he got married. And so, when that accusation came out, no one defended him. And then no one in the media would give him the time of the day. All of a sudden he found fame because he opposed the speaker of the House back in November. And he’s always stayed there. And he was never gonna leave until he got this last moment of fame by saying– by going after a motion to vacate.”
Gaetz was investigated by the Justice Department for allegedly paying underage girls to have sex with him, including allegations that he had transported minor girls across state lines for the purpose of sex. No charges were filed by the DOJ.
In recent weeks, however, Gaetz’s alleged past actions have come back to the fore, with reports indicating that many in the House GOP caucus are ready to boot him from the body once the House Ethics Committee concludes an investigation of him for suspected drug use and sex with minors.
For his part, Gaetz said he hardly knows Mullin, remarking:
Matt Gaetz is a pustule on the U.S. Congress. Here’s hoping his colleagues excise him from that body as soon as possible.
