'Beyond disturbing': Critics wince at lurid details in Matt Gaetz ethics report

Raw Story  

Details leaked on Monday about the House Ethics Committee's investigation into former Rep. Matt Gaetz and many critics of the Florida Republican were quick to register their disgust. The 37-page report, which is due to be officially released on Monday, alleged that "there is substantial evidence that Representative Gaetz violated House Rules and other standards of conduct prohibiting prostitution, statutory rape, illicit drug use, impermissible gifts, special favors or privileges, and obstruction of Congress." Former Republican Ana Navarro-Cárdenas expressed revulsion at Gaetz's alleged actions and marveled that President-elect Donald Trump actually nominated him to be attorney general. Washington Post conference Catherine Rampell highlighted a particularly strange passage from the ethics report in which Gaetz's former girlfriend informed the women he was allegedly paying for sex that he was "a little limited in their cashflow this weekend" and asked them if "it can be more of a customer appreciation week."
