    If Gaetz get prosecuted, then so should Hunter for the exact same thing! No pardons for either!

      Do you know the difference between an underage girl and an adult woman?
      Good God... Y'all and your Hunter obsession is grotesque.
      Pardoning Hunter was 💥
      Your orange 🦧 was pretty good at it himself ... I'll give him some credit for that.

      Yeah except gaetz didnt actually do it. There were no charges or results from the fbi examination. What you see here is a committee excluding evidence and promoting biased testimony. A look at the entire case reveals entrapment by our own government actually.
      And most of congress is actually guilty of worse. Thats reality

      hey just because someone reports something negative about “your side” doesn’t make it partisan. maybe you should just disavow that guy instead of letting an actual pedophile continue to be a figurehead.

      You just can't stand to have anybody point out any of the grotesque things that your little Repubes do.
