Gaetz was speaking at a women's conference and was talking about his own problems with women and accusations of sex trafficking... can't make this stuff up

You guys wanna know the difference between Democrats and Republicans?
- Cuomo scandal: many dems are calling for his resignation
- Gaetz scandal: ONE GOP member is calling for his resignation

I'm sure all 9 people in attendance were impressed with his speech.

Him: “ they aren’t coming for me, they are coming for you”
Me: 😳 umm no, it’s you .

Gaetz- “it’s all a scam, a hoax, a joke! It’s just like my political career!”

Gaetz talking about conspiracy theories when he's got the Jewish space laser lady in his corner 😂

The total amount of people in that crowd is less than 18.

I know I would not be a good reporter because I would just be yelling to the woman, "ma'am, how much is he paying you to hold his hand right now? Can I get your age, miss?"

[justbe]

Wow, that's a big crowd listening to Matt! I think I counted about 12.

Charlie Chester, CNN Technical Director did a great job explaining why CNN keeps running stories about Matt Gaetz.

[livijean]

Shame on those women for standing next to the guy victimizing young women. Shame on Gaetz for thinking he can get away with this shit.

[larrymosher]

Gaetz, his next audience, a jury of 12.

[skoll_]

Even the loyal crowds are like “Dude, we know you did it”

[danielarsenault]

Hearing Matt Gaetz complain about "wild conspiracies" is pretty damn rich.

[Montesama]

I love how the best character references he can muster include a lady talking about space lasers.

[timsmith]

She looks too mature to be his type. His type hasn't graduated from Happy Meals yet.

[JohnDoe-jhyr]

"They're not coming for me, they're coming for you" = "Hey look, someone to direct your anger towards so I get off the hook"

A very small event held for a Man with a Small Mind

The two best lines I've heard about Matt Gaetz:

"Matt Gaetz constituents will forgive him for sleeping with underage girls. But, sharing? No. That's communism."

"That's a first one for Matt Gaetz, women paying to see him for an hour."

Matt Gaetz, the perfect poster boy for the Trump era Republican party.
