"QAnon fans& #39; defense of Gaetz is particularly ironic because the entire point of the conspiracy theory is to uncover a global underage sex trafficking ring supposedly being run by the leaders of the Democratic Party." https://www.rawstory.com/matt-gaetz-qanon/">https://www.rawstory.com/matt-gaet...
but then, there& #39;s this... "Keep in mind, when this investigation was opened,.. that investigation had to be signed off on by their supervisor, the head of the criminal division and briefed to Bill Barr himself," https://www.rawstory.com/matt-gaetz-justice-department-trafficking/">https://www.rawstory.com/matt-gaet...
"more importantly than the bizarreness of the interview is the fact that Gaetz didn’t do a very convincing job trying to refute the very serious criminal allegations underpinning the federal investigation." https://www.vox.com/2021/3/31/22359953/matt-gaetz-tucker-carlson-interview-sex-trafficking-allegations">https://www.vox.com/2021/3/31...

"We searched through all the available records and found nothing to support Gaetz’s claim. We repeatedly asked his staff to show us the records and heard crickets.

This just keeps unraveling!

"But, Gaetz, I think, he& #39;d like to be Donald Trvmp. He& #39;s not.
