Two years later, he's still in congress.

[adamgault]

Something is very wrong that he has not ended up in prison and we suddenly stopped hearing about his crimes.

[SMDoktorPepper]

And the sad part? He got away with it AND keeps attacking everyone else with lies and fraud.

[slimsshady]

Sadly we did not see him in court and he faced no consequences for his behaviour.

Pro tip from a younger guy (23, 24 this year). If, at any point, the age of consent for your state is at all a concern, it's time to stop. Full red light. Do not pass Go, do not collect $200.

[JoeAuerbach]

This is probably the most surprising thing I've heard about Florida lately

[jackl]

This started 2 Years ago and he still has a job

[kozuet]

It’s been 2 years and this guy is still in power. He needs to get the treatment his party wants for people that do what he did. We will all laugh at it.

[caitlin]

General rule of thumb, if you have to double check the age of consent, you probably shouldn't be having sex with that person

[chrisoneill]

Matt Gaetz could always plead that he is only 23 years old. It wouldn't be the most unbelievable thing he has said.

[edeledeledel]

No - his dad will buy him out of it, like he did with his DUI charge that somehow completely disappeared.

[BigTylt]

Even if it wasn't, wouldn't Matt Gaetz still have to deal with all those "interstate sex trafficking" laws?

[Its__Good]

You: "The war in Afghanistan hasn't gone on for that long."
Me: "It's already too old for Matt Gaetz to be sexually interest in it".

[ronitknight]

We don't want to see him in court, we want to see him in prison

[fayethepa]

I guess the hot water was diluted with Daddy’s influence. Again. 😡🤬

[TonyMontana-mvez]

Remember, mat is the only one that voted against the anti-human trafficking bill

[sebastianrmaaa]

Wow I didn’t know Florida had age of consent laws, or any laws for that matter. Very interesting

[vickimcburney]

What is the hold up? He is still shooting off his mouth in Congress. When does he get indicted?

[angiebear]

It’s 16 in my state yet there is a limit to how much older the other person can be. It’s basically so teenagers won’t get charged for being with other teenagers.

[lewdwig]

A man that knows the age of consent in every state off by heart should set every alarm bell you have ringing.
