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.

Allies of Rep. Adam Kinzinger launch super PAC to support Republicans who have bucked Trump

Founders of the group, which include Kinzinger advisers, are also launching a sister nonprofit to “build a grass roots army,” according to documents reviewed by The Washington Post. Unlike traditional PACs, both organizations can accept unlimited contributions. Nonprofit groups are not required to disclose the identity of their contributors. AD Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) posted a video on Jan. 7, 2020, the day after pro-Trump riots at the Capitol, saying, “It is time to invoke the 25th Amendment.” (@RepKinzinger/Twitter) The effort will be up against significant head winds, as Trump still holds vast sway over the Republican Party — even after his supporters attacked the U.S. Capitol in an effort to stop the certification of President Biden’s victory. AD The new groups, which aim to mobilize the kinds of anti-Trump donors who backed the now-embattled Lincoln Project, are being launched as the former president is planning to expand his political operation with his own super PAC.

Federal ‘jack-booted thugs’ are roaming Portland. Where is the NRA now? (Your letters)

To the Editor: Back in 1995, the NRA’s Wayne LaPierre complained, “The government is full of jack-booted thugs in bucket helmets” trampling on our constitutional rights. Now we see presumably federal government agents, this time in military camouflage, wearing no badges, forcing peaceable protesters into unmarked vehicles in Portland, Oregon. Where is the NRA and all those who complained then? Our President Donald Trump has threatened to do the same in other cities, in spite of the objections by the mayor and governor of the place it has already happened. Our president, his agency heads and the agents themselves swore an oath to uphold the Constitution. I took an oath to defend the Constitution, too. I’ve been retired from the Army almost a half century but two things upset me about this use of anonymous federal agents: First, it is wrong. Second, camouflage is intended for fighting in the field; so, who dispatched agents into a city clad in that costume? Stanley H. Roe Hamilton

Doctor who spoke out over Trump’s Covid drive-by stunt says ‘I regret nothing’

The emergency room doctor who was reportedly removed from his hospital’s rota schedule for publicly calling out Donald Trump said he stands by his words and does not regret criticising the president for his “insanity” to wave at supporters while getting treatment for Covid-19. Dr James Phillips, who is chief of disaster medicine at George Washington University, was removed from the schedule at Walter Reed as attending physician after he slammed Mr Trump for waving at his supporters from a car while he was infected with coronavirus and risking the lives of accompanying Secret Service agents in the car. “Today, I worked my final shift at Walter Reed ER,” said Dr Phillips wrote on Twitter late on Sunday, he served his last day as attending physician. “I will miss the patients and my military and civilian coworkers - they have been overwhelmingly supportive… I stand by my words, and I regret nothing.” In October, two days after being admitted to the hospital with Covid-19, Mr Trump was dri...
