Congress’ biggest ‘pedophile’ hunter is teaming up with Matt Gaetz, who faces underage sex accusation


It’s often said that politics makes strange bedfellows. So perhaps this explains the alliance between Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.). The pair recently announced their nationwide “America First” tour where they plan to “call out RINOs,” or Republicans in name only.

The announcement has people alternately scratching their heads, shuddering, and laughing. The two are arguably the most infamous members of Congress.

Federal authorities are investigating Gaetz for trafficking a minor for sex. The scandal intensified yesterday with a report from the Daily Beast that his friend, who’s expected to take a plea bargain, admitted both paid a minor for sex in a letter.

Gaetz denies any wrongdoing.

Greene, meanwhile, is notorious in her own right. She subscribes to the QAnon conspiracy theory that holds that an international cabal of cannibalistic, satanic pedophiles controls the world.

Some find it odd that a woman who believes a pedophilia-obsessed conspiracy theory would maintain an alliance with a man who’s accused of trafficking a minor for sex.

“I’ll be interested to hear how MargieQ reconciles her Q-ness with hanging out with an accused pedophile,” commented ShelKel2.

Sun-Sentinel columnist Fred Grimm was among the many who had some reservations about letting Gaetz roam freely about the country. “Lock up da chilluns,” he joked on Twitter.

“Matt Gaetz stay the fuck away from college students challenge,” journalist Talia Lavin tweeted.

He should make sure he doesn’t transport minors across state lines this time. — HooliganPug (@PugHooligan) April 30, 2021

Many, many people mocked the pair. The Duty to Warn Twitter account’s challenge to rename the tour attracted quite a few submissions, such as “MyPillow Presents: The Greene-Gaetz of Hell Tour,” “Raising Bail for Jail Tour,” “The Gaetz and Greene Misinformation Machine Tour,” and “The Alien and Sedition Act.”

A GIF challenge was similarly well received.

Twitter humorists had quite a time roasting the duo.

Gaetz and Greene’s first stop is in The Villages, a Florida retirement mecca that’s equally known for right-wing politics and sexually transmitted diseases.

Some were relieved—the minimum age to live in The Villages is 55.

Well at least he isn't doing this at the local HS. But honestly this sick pervert needs to resign https://t.co/eCvg0SNlRl — Natalee (@1Realnatalee) April 30, 2021

The Villages.

Greene and Gaetz have also created a joint fundraising committee. It seems they genuinely are tying their fortunes to one another, for better or, more likely, worse.

Biden says K-12 education isn't working — calls for free pre-K to "grade 14"

President Joe Biden on Wednesday praised the nation's K-12 education system for fueling America's economic growth for almost a century. But, he stressed, that system may no longer be sufficient as the foundation for future prosperity. Mr. Biden's American Families Plan is taking aim at an issue that has bedeviled economists as well as millions of families struggling to stay afloat financially: A high school diploma is no longer enough to secure a middle-class life. Under the White House proposal, the nation's K-12 system would be expanded on both ends — from free pre-kindergarten education through a "grade 14," funding two years of schooling before kindergarten and two years of post-high school education through free community college. There's plenty of economic research that links rising high school graduation rates throughout the 20th century to faster U.S. economic growth. For example, broadening education help women enter the workforce and enabled men ...

In Trump Farm Bailout, Top 1% Reaped Nearly One-Fourth of Aid

LISTEN TO ARTICLE 4:43 SHARE THIS ARTICLE Share Tweet Post Email Photographer: Daniel Acker/Bloomberg Photographer: Daniel Acker/Bloomberg The Trump administration’s farm bailouts steered an expanding share of subsidy payments to the nation’s biggest farms, according to an analysis by an environmental advocacy group that highlights issues of equity as the Biden administration designs potential new climate-related financial incentives for farmers. Just 1% of farm aid recipients collected 23% of subsidy payments in 2019, up from 17% in 2016, as former President Donald Trump’s trade bailout swelled payments to farmers. Their portion crept up to 24% in the first half of 2020, the most recent period covered in the data, as farm aid hit a record level with coronavirus relief payments, according to the Environmental Working Group analysis. That is the largest share of federal farm subsidies going to the top 1% -- the 7,873 subsidy recipients who got the highest payments -- since 2007, accordi...

New climate envoy John Kerry sold off energy holdings to avoid conflict of interest, disclosures show

Financial disclosures released by former Secretary of State John Kerry indicate that until March of this year he held hundreds of thousands of dollars of investments in energy-related companies that may end up being affected by policies he'll help shape as President Joe Biden's new climate envoy. An ABC News analysis of his assets show that in recent years, Kerry held stakes in at least three dozen companies related to the energy industry, including firms dealing in electric, oil and gas, and nuclear energy, with shares worth between $204,000 and $960,000. Kerry had also recently held high-ranking positions within firms and entities that could end up being regulated by his climate action policies, filings show. A certificate of divestiture issued by the Office of Government Ethics on March 8 shows Kerry's plan to divest from companies that could pose a conflict of interest for his new role as U.S. Special Presidential Envoy for Climate, a common measure that newly appointed...
