There's an old saying in Tennessee — I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again.

It appears to be finally being brought back up. He's been getting off scott free for years. The guy in prison for it right now took a plea deal that includes him having to testify against Gaetz last I knew.

My exact reaction too

I had the same thought.

The matt gaetz that paid underaged girls for sex, and raped them? That pedo matt gaetz?

It must be fun being this shithead's lawyer.

Devil's advocate: that phrase is entirely reasonable as a profession of innocence. Claiming "all of the conduct", even if you're totally innocent of the bad conduct being alleged, is opening yourself up to be contradicted unless literally every part of their story is categorically false and you know it.

Like if it's alleged you went to Georgia, rented Liar, Liar on DVD, murdered 15 puppies, then watched Liar, Liar while eating Waffle House takeout, got drunk the next morning, and got into a collision, then you say "all of the conduct alleged against me is false", well sure you didn't kill the puppies, get drunk, and get in a DUI car crash – you're not a monster – but they definitely have the security tapes and the receipt showing you rented Liar, Liar at a Georgia Blockbuster, part of the conduct alleged against you.

"Much of" is basic CYA. (Of course in Gaetz's non-innocent case, this is meant to put the goalposts on wheels for how much "much of" meant. But it'd still be reasonable for an innocent person.)

lol, i was like didn't this already happen, and open it to this.

People with dark secrets are easier to blackmail and control to conduct atrocities and commit treason. But it’s also a club of the worst people like flies on shit

MAGA must really want to normalize fucking children.

Matt Gaetz wants to date your kids

Bold of you to phrase it as "date" rather than "rape".

I'm going to need one of these:

He looks like Butt-head from Beavis and Butt-head

That's a mask
