'Return like Trump returned': MAGA urges second coming on Matt Gaetz

Raw Story  

Despite the House Ethics Committee's findings in its investigation into former Rep. Matt Gaetz's alleged sexual misconduct, a number of MAGA allies are encouraging the ex-Florida lawmaker to fight back, according to Politico. The Ethics Committee's report "says the committee found evidence that Gaetz paid thousands of dollars for sex; violated Florida’s statutory rape law; used cocaine, ecstasy and marijuana illegally; violated the rule on accepting gifts from lobbyists; gave friends special privileges and favors; and tried to obstruct the committee’s investigation." Still, Trump allies like Florida state Sen. Joe Gruters " insisted" Gaetz "could still contemplate a return to public office,” Politico reported. Furthermore, Politico reports, "Asked about Gaetz’s political future, Florida-based Republican political operative Jamie Miller also raised the absence of DOJ charges and said that the newly released report put the matter in the 'court of public opinion.'"
