When The Lump named Rep. Rapey McForehead as his pick for Attorney General, Gaetz quickly resigned from Congress, but only to put an end to an investigation over alleged sex trafficking, including with a high school girl. That’s called statutory rape, by the way.
So, it’s stunning that Rep. Nancy Mace, a rape survivor, would back someone who has (allegedly!) diddled a high school girl. Even conservative Ben Domenech, Meghan McCain’s boo, tore into Gaetz, writing that Gaetz is a “sex trafficking drug addicted piece of shit” in a brutal post about the slimy boot-licking congressman.
Regardless, on CNN, Mace went full-stupid.
“I support all of Donald Trump’s appointments that he is seeking, including Matt Gaetz,” she said. “This is someone who’s been very good on civil rights and civil liberty issues.”
“He’s good on cannabis issues, something that I’m very passionate about,” she continued. “He’s someone that believes in the Constitution.”
Fact check: Mace’s pants are on fire.
“And I think that’s really important when you’re looking at who’s going to lead in that department,” she said. “And also, Trump is also appointing other folks, including attorneys, as well to support Matt Gaetz. And I support all of the individuals Trump is putting forward today.”
