Closing In On MAGA Ally? Gaetz's Ex-Girlfriend Worried About Calls Amid Sex Crime Probe
He looks like a scared guilty man to me.
He looks like a narcissist who thinks he can outsmart the FBI — which is what he was trying to do in his interview with tucker carlson on Faux Noise.
Am I the only one who thinks he’ll flee?
@David Galehouse He’s relaxed because he has affluenza. His father has bailed him out of all his criminal actions. So he’s expecting the same treatment in this case..
@S McDonald No. There’s a very good chance that he will. Because it looks like not even his father, who has bailed him with all his previous criminal actions, can help him with this case..
@B Bodziak The FBI loves it when subjects think they’re smarter!
The FBI also seized the ex-girlfriend’s phone. She definitely knows things.
How does this ex-girlfriend know about the 17 year old other girlfriend, she like Gates is basically verifying Gates was ‘dating’ a 17 year old. You can’t tape a call but you can have a 2nd or 3rd person listening in to verify what is said, and maybe even make a transcript.
@myko freder you can tape a call, in a lot of states you don’t even need to tell the other person they are being recorded you only need one persons ok, and that one person is the one doing the recording

Probably she knowingly lied to the Feds, and she has reasons to worry. 🧐
@myko freder It’s Gaetz.
Matt Gaetz said at that women’s conference that when the feds come for him, they are actually coming for all of us. No Matt, they’re coming for you.
Matt can’t go to jail, he’s sick, he has affluenza and Covid-45.
@S McDonald 😹😹
I thought he meant they were coming for all his pervert Republican office-holder and fund-raiser friends.
Right! 🤣🤣🤣
Maybe the “women’s conference” is comprised of hookers – so maybe they are coming for them, not Gaetz. Naah! it’s Gaetz they want.
I’m so ready for all these two-faced corrupt politicians to finally be held accountable just like any other American citizen would be held to! 😡😡😡
@Jon He was also paid by us taxpayers. For every trip he took to his own golf courses he billed us for $134K..
Sadly, Faux Noise is aligning itself with Gaetz and calling it fake news. People need to listen up anytime a republican shouts, “Fake News!”
Some people are thrown in jail for driving on a suspended licence or for loitering.
@CoconutKev
Is is coconut Kev or coconut Kiev??
Go back to Newsmask or Faux news,
You’re way over your head here.🥱
@Kathleen McQuillan it was way more money than that each trip cost us taxpayers 6million a day
There was a reason for those fake IDs. Matt had to get the prom queen into a nightclub. 😂🤡💩
@Christopher Black lol they forgot to uncheck that box😆
that’s only a little illegal — this is probably because they used those fake ids to fly underage girls out of the country on a Bahamas party trip.
They are so guilty it’s just a matter of time and trying to buy their way out of jail time.
Barf
😂
@Karin Reck They didn’t forget. They chose the option for automatic weekly donations, then grey it out so it can’t be unticked.
Gaetz only has one sentence on his resume: “Rich spoiled white male.”
@Small E imagine defending a pervert🤢
Male?
AKA Frat Boy
Soon it will be pleeeeesae bubba
True but they are working overtime making the world’s largest boat oar to use on his hiney parts.
People please leave Matt’s girlfriends alone – they have homework to do.
😂 😆 😝
No, you didn’t say that!
I came for the MAGA deflection…
Buh-buh-but…Hunter’s laptop 😩
@Mac888 spectral The FBI had that laptop for about 2 years. Because Giuliani was kind enough to turn in to them. Now, if the things the cult claimed they saw on it were true, wouldn’t Hunter be behind bars for a least a year now? But no, they say the FBI is corrupt and works for Biden. Never ends with these hypocrites..
🤣🤣 good one!
He’s working hard alright. Working hard to figure out how to not wear hand cuffs that aren’t furry.
@B Bodziak Green was born in the 1970s in a town called Milledgeville, GA. This town was where Atlanta, GA sent all the psychopaths and drug addicts in the 1970s. When the sanatoriums became full, they began releasing patients onto the streets where they bred. No joke.
ha ha, “go hard or go home”, ha ha…
Good one😆
@Willie Nillie he’s gonna be sooo popular!!
🏆😁
@Leona Love k
You don’t have my support. I’m appalled that you still have your job!
I’m in where are we meeting up???
You probably like AOC and Maxine Waters
Boy and Democracts made Al Frankin resign. How stupid does that look now?
sadly, each party is working by their own rules. The Democrats have their rules and Republicans only have rules if you’re caught…and even then you might still get away.
Surprising she knows the FBI seized her cell phone records by the patriot act they don’t need a warrant and they don’t have to tell you.
Unless they took her actual phone, too…
Or maybe she is trying to tell the FBI they should examine her phone because she is too scared to speak to them voluntarily.
A judge signed a warrant to get his phone!
Tip for the FBI: the phone password is “covfefe”.
@S McDonald
Best quote of the day 😂🤣🤣
When Gaetz said, “Thank you for your support over these last couple of weeks…” he’s specifically talking to only his Dad, Gym Jordan, and MTG – no one, NO ONE else is supporting this smug creep.
Sadly, the women of “America First” are, but they also support 45, so… 🤢
@Calisa Hardy For now, at least. I wonder if he’s paying her to stick around🤨
@H K S Well he paid her, at least once, if not more often to “stick” something somewhere.
@H K S who knows…
“Gym Jordan”, 😂😂🤣😭😭!
He should start shopping for new hairstyles because his current one won’t hold up so well in prison.
Ha ha ha 😂.
I dunno, might have to pull a “There’s Something About Mary,” but it could be doable.
He looks like the cartoon “Jimmy Neutron” IMO. Maybe it was his gimmick with the “ladies”
On the contrary. His pompadour hair style will have him be somebody’s “wifey” in no time.
He’s primed & ready to be prison Prom Queen as is! Dude is going to get pass around like a joint on Snoop Dogg’s 50th birthday party!
If Gaetz gets away with this due to technicality despite guilt, then there should be a national protest!!!!!!
YES
Or vigilantism….
Really and the governor from New York! Really!!!
Really? I think we’re up to 20 women accusing of Cuomo of same, but let’s continue to go after republicans. Please.
But… but… Gaetz has affluenza.
It would be funny if George Carlin was still around to hear him commenting on the modern GOP wackos
Can you imagine, he’d be having a riot!
Never was there a time when the US needed George Carlin more than now.
@Andrew Bogle except when he repeatedly begged his audience not to vote.
@Radagast Brown. Well one has to concede he had a point. The fact that Trump and a large section of the GOP and its supporters denied the result of the election resulting in the insurrection at the Capitol shows how prescient George was. If it had succeeded then George was right on the money. In the event it didn’t succeed, but the US has never come closer to a coup and many Republicans are bitterly disappointed it didn’t succeed. So whether George was being facetious or not he was making a good point.
Why don’t someone check out his Father’s bank accounts for activities? You might find payoffs going on!!
Good call!!
After Gaetz’s career is over, do Jim Jordan next please.
That’s Gym Jordan
Id like them to go after AOC, Ilhan, and Maxine, then get Hillary, Bill and Obama.
@Darryl Brown 😭😭😭
Where is Q when we need him?
@Kristy for what???
No need to worry if she’s innocent, obviously she isn’t innocent if she’s afraid of what might/will be found on it by the FBI.
Who is the ex…
Exactly.
It has often been said that Republicans accuse Democrats of what they themselves are guilty of. Accusing Democrats of running a pedophile ring now comes home to roost!
Democrats don’t even try to hide it. Look at Bill Clinton. And the Democrat congressman that was sleeping with a China spy😂😂
@Marty Stamey you sound dumb!! These were grown women not children. They had an affair republicans have done worse.
@Courtney Williams i will say the spy is one thing, but Bill was unacceptable adult or not it was abuse of power. He and Gaetz are both disgusting.
They call it PedoWood, but forgot not only Democrats are actors..
@Kathleen McQuillan the fact that people pick and choose who to call out for their disgusting behavior based on which political party they bribe the best is sick. And the celebrities in Hollywood and politiciams who sit by and let it happen should feel sick about themselves, but I doubt it because they have the money and that’s what matters to them.
I find the fact that gaetz was talking job change right before this story came out very telling. Sleaze
And he’s the only one that voted against the human trafficking bill…🤔🤔🤔
