When he showed up at the annual Strongsville, Ohio GOP Christmas party, Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) probably didn’t expect to be trolled to his face and on video for his alleged penchant of having sex with underage girls and then paying them hush money via Venmo.
And yet, there the Florida Republican was, though he probably wished he could have transported himself somewhere else.
Cleveland Scene reports:
Gaetz was presented with a surprise award: for his dedication to using Venmo to allegedly have sex with underage girls.
As you can see, the person who pulled the gag on Gaetz was rudely escorted from the stage by a cop.
When the laughter died down, the congressman tried to recover, telling attendees, “Ohio has become the beating red heart of the Midwest, and so Iβm here to celebrate with some of the activists.”
After the video began circulating on Twitter, it drew plenty of commentary.
