    You know, I’ve been the victim of federal crimes,” added Gaetz, who is currently under investigation by the House Ethics Committee for allegedly paying $900 to a sex trafficker for sex with a minor. “If we’re the purported victim, in Congress, and we’re saying this was not an insurrection, I think that would hold a great deal of weight.”

    Motherfucker really just called himself a victim, because he’s being investigated for sex trafficking children…

      “If we’re the purported victim, in Congress, and we’re saying this was not an insurrection, I think that would hold a great deal of weight.”

      Yeah, that’s it, just have the people who wanted the insurrection to succeed say it wasn’t an insurrection.
