            I’m not the news, so I’ll keep saying “underage sex trafficker Matt ‘Pizza’ Gaetz”.

            I’m under no obligation to give this piece of dog shit any benefit of the doubt. Though, it may be more accurate to call him a connoisseur of underage prostitutes because he paid a trafficker instead of trafficking the girl directly. Or maybe ‘benefactor to teen sex traffickers’ would work as well

                Meanwhile, known pedophile Matt Gaetz will continue to do children and get away with it.

                  13 to 19 are teenagers. You can dislike him all you want, it still doesn’t make him a pedophile.

                  psychiatric diagnostic criteria for pedophilia extend the cut-off point for prepubescence to age 13.

                    So if they instead said “known ephebophile Matt Gaetz will continue to do children and get away with it”, you’d just be like “well done, carry on”?

                    Add this comment to the huge list of shit I would never expect to ever say or type.

                    Edit: linked up definition of children highlighting that teenagers are generally considered to be children.

            Right, he was protected by the gop mafia - so you are pedantically correct, he was not convicted, conveniently.

            But we all know the truth. All of us who are paying attention, that is.
