Whatever you say about Gaetz, he is a scrapper. He has been very aggressive in my district on supporting the military, veterans, immigration controls, and support of Trump. He has an outsized ego and reputation as a womanizer and a lot of women dislike him. There is an allegation that he had sex with a 17 year old girl who was being trafficked, but DOJ dropped the matter. He had an associate who was convicted in a trafficking scheme. From what I have seen and heard of him, I don't doubt the sex allegation but there is no proof.
